FYI: Patanouchi has closed
 

Hi everyone,

I'm sorry to inform everyone that visa site on Patanouchi.com has been closed today
(8/5/02). For those of you who have never heard of this site, it was a visa
information site for a Japanese citizen marrying a USC. Someone on this newsgoup
refered this site to me in the past, and I have advised others to go to this site in
the past as well. Ms.Pata decided to shut down her site, because too many people were
confused by all the wrong information posted on her site. She also hinted that (or
maybe it was my imagination) she was pressured to close down by unknows
organization(s). Either way, it was sad to lose a valuable website.

When this happend, I suddenly realized that how important this NG is to me. I
couldn't have filed GC application without this NG. I like to thank everyone here for
helping me and the others. I hope this NG will be here forever (at least til I get my
GC). Thankx!
