For us it was and I will hold back my flack on that comment for fear of getting banned.

No-one, absolutely no-one has the right to question the feelings between two people and judge the methods used to be together.

Each situation is different and I apologize if the love my wife and I share is too much for some to grasp.

There's also nothing wrong with entering as a non-immigrant, getting married and staying provided the intent was not there at the time of entry IMO (and you can live with the extra complications).

International arrivals in Houston isn't much better than a refugee camp.... hot, crowded, everyone tired and sweaty and hungry and thirsty....

Miami is great. Its like some kind massive fiesta. Everyone shouting at the top of their voices in various shades of Spanglish, hot, humid, and smells like a monstrous paella fest.

All I stated was MY opinion Rince and you are welcome to yours. Last I knew nobody made me the Leader of the Free World.
The important thing is that each of us love our spouses, went through tough times to be together and we are. 'Nuff said.

But you need to remember that some go through various processes to be with their spouses out of ignorance for what is the "BE approved" route.

I don't judge anyone for how they came to be in the States and to say that one way's reasons are "not good enough" is insulting to some. You can not be above someone else for taking an alternative route. We are all on the same journey, we just take different roads.

Your post surprised me.

And that's my opinion, think of it what you will.

Nobody made GWB leader of the free world either but he seems to have taken on that particular mantle with na'er a blink

No I didn't forget that and I DID mention ignorance.. We came that close to doing it ourselves because we were TOLD by the INS folks in Savannah for him just to pack a bag, come on over and then apply for AOS. Jeesh. I found out just in time that it didn't quite work that way. For OUR situation it would not have been good at all.
All I did was express MY opinon about SOME reasons.
You know, that could be construed as just as insulting to the folks who jumped through the hoops to come here. I'm not exaggerating, there have been comments over the years from people on the other side of the fence that basically implied that they loved their significant other more than the rest of us loved ours.
I'm not saying I'm above anyone and don't go down that road please.
Also I did pretty much say the same thing as you-different road to journey's. end.

This I feel will be an on going argument until one of the ways
is deleted, both people are right but both routes can be
wrong, but at the end of the journey, *we*
choose for *ourselves*, we are all winners.

You tak' the high road and I'll tak' the low road an' I'll be in Scotland afore ye. For me and ma' true love will ne'er ne'er roam from the bonnie wee banks o' Loch Lomond.

He has a mandate.

Must be true.

He said so.
