Slight difference between using medical insurance and benefiting from your partner popping your clogs. I wear selt belts but hope I dont use them but there you go.

Number one reason to become a citizen is to get all the rest of your family here ... and a freshly imported alien wife if you want one ...

I've got a serviceable wife at the moment and I'd prefer to leave my family where they are to be honest - especially the in-laws. If my family want to come to Merica then they can bleedin well make their own way here.

Re: Depressing question about Greencards :(

Wow, you guys are great. I post this in the wrong forum, and I still get responses. Thanks very much!

OK, so I checked my card and it is valid for 10 years, which I have been informed (via your good selves and the Immigration forum) means that I can safely bid a fond farewell to Mrs. de Carabas, and indeed, the horse she rode in on too.

May God bless her, and all who sail in her.
