USCs without any pending immigration issues on this forum
Time for a bouquet.
It seems that the people that participate on British Expats / alt.visa.us.marriage-based are front-end biased. That is, most seem to be near the beginning of the journey (if we start the clock at the time prospective couples meet and stop the clock at the time the alien spouse becomes naturalized). I have always been thankful to those folks who have obtained citizenship (or their spouse has) but continue to monitor / participate in this forum. Another group that also needs mention are those that used to have an alien spouse but have since split up. Some of these USCs continue to contribute.
Kudos to all of you that stick with the group, long after your immigration worries are over. We could start naming people but I think we'd either (a) have a list too long to manage or (b) leave someone out.
P.S. And we can't forget about our two special USCs out in California. Thanks especially to SF and MU.

It is a bit sad though that we have lost MU as a daily contributor to the forum. He has now made visajourney his home and is quite involved in its development, etc. Steve has Matt's website down as a referral for legal assistance and Matt is very involved in upgrading the FAQ and subsequent links for various visas and forms. We all benefit from that and a special thank you from this moderator.
Mr. F is always a pleasure to read with his pediantic style ;-) and dry wit.

Gotta love that dry wit.Add a few flowers to the bouquet from Scott and I. We couldn't have gotten as far as we have without this site - not to mention I'd probably have pulled all of my hair out in frustration!
Cheers,

I personally think at times posting to the usenet can be quite dangerous for some new posters.
BUT I TOTALLY agree with the Bouquet and thank those whom I have seen for MANY years here and thank them VERY much for their help.

As the lawyer sits here blushing, just a word of warning -- I'm on vacation from September 4th to 19th and I am NOT taking my laptop with me and my cell phone won't work where I'm going. A well needed vacation.
