I-601 letter amusement
I feel compelled to share this, because it made me wee myself with laughter.
Hubby just finished writing his I-601 extreme hardship letter - he gave it to me for editing and the last sentence:
"Please consider granting my wife permanent residency so she can stay by my side where she belongs"
Bless him! (I would like to point out he's not a pig in real life, sometimes he just can't say things as eloquently as he'd like to
)

Re: I-601 letter amusement
Seems like a proper statement to me. Not so sure about its effectiveness in getting granted a waiver. "They" might indicate that if her proper place is by your side that you can accompany her out of the country.
good luck,

I tell ya, it was tough writing that letter, the pair of us were back and forth on the interwebby looking for acceptable "extreme hardships". We came up with some good ones, and even threw the kittens in there as well (having to quarantine them for 6 months!).

Ummm what are PMs? How do you clean them? Do they taste like chicken?
Okay I cleaned out my sand box. Now I suppose I really should do the same with my voice mail!

I like it, even the "where she belongs" part too. Sounds like the perfect letter for eeerrrr Valentine's Day? LOL

But, but, that is the right way to write it ... you are to cleave to your spouse. Don't you know your bible? ;-))))
Besides it didn't say she belongs to him but implied belongs along side him ... that is calling her his equal ;-))))
Gosh, I'm good at this interpretation stuff.
