UNO Uno...Just wanted to say that i know we have had our differences in the past...but as time has gone on i have begun to see another side to you..one that has a lot of wonderful positive vibes emiting from your posts. I would like to move ahead of any negative stuff from the past...and say that i'd like u to be my sistah in faith. It dont mean we gotta agree on thangs all the time...but at lest we can respect and appreciate the strong confident woman we are!!!! So....will u be my friend..pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesse!!!!!!!!!!!! I wanna ride on the small bus with you!!!!!!!!! So we can act a fool up in there! hahahahaha God Bless, Crystal Its already done , I was just waiting for you to catch up Yes, we have had our disagreement/s, but there comes a time when adults must learn to agree to disagree based upon our realities and experiences are vastly different and so are our interpretations of those events. Moving on, to assist you in getting to know me, here are some things you should keep in mind ...are you ready of this....wait for it, wait for it, here you gooooooo......... To know me is to respect me (or atleast fake it ). I wont steer anyone wrong and if I do, charge it to my head and not my heart. I don't say anything once that I can't say twice. What you see is what you get. And for the most part, typically; Uno dont give a phuq (about things she have no control over) Those are mantras that I have adopted and they serve me pretty well...most of the time As far as being yo' sista in faith, already there I am wise enough to know that even tho my "ball and chain" was yoking me to death, I can still get joy from others celebrations and triumphs and learn from their mistakes and accomplishments. I may not like a lot of things/people, but I respect all of Gods creations. I have found that when I am at my lowest, thats when God is at his highest. So just know that you and many others are in my prayers and I am cheering on the sidelines (even though I don't post for most accomplishments, I do celebrate them with you all in the shadows). So yes, all things accepted and respected UNO p.s. maybe where you come from its the "short bus", but where I come from its the "shawt buss"	Simply_Uno	Female	0	2008-10-19 09:20:00

Any one had any off-the-wall experiences with questions, or what they asked for, that is different from what they say they will be needing. I have the list...but i thought i read a while back that someone posted they had been asked for different documentation, and some odd questions. Anyone remember that post? Just wanna start preparing for the inquisition as soon as possible..LOL BTW...i dont post much on here, but i do read...and wish all the new peeps much luck and success with their Visajourneys.

Africa: Sub-Saharan	All Quiet on the Western front	QUOTE (chispas @ Oct 29 2008, 04:24 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hola Amigos After some well appreciated quiet time, I'm back with surprising news and a question. I've posted before that since I filled out the Adjustment of Status request for my husband I have not heard a single peep from immigration. Low and behold, the other day a letter showed up in my mail box with a date for an interview to remove conditions. Unfortunately I had not been to the PO box in weeks and the date for the appointment has gone by. The curious thing is that this is the first time I have ever been asked to come in for an interview and the second thing is that I didn't not file to remove conditions. Of course it asks me to bring in all the information to prove that we have a relationship ...yada yada but we are not together and don't live together. Anyone have this happen to them before? ((((((Hoooollllllaaaaaaaaaaaaa)))))) ((((((((chiiiiiiiiiissssssssssspppaaaaasssss)))))) I've missed you you know I have no idea about your question ( my flight never left the run way ) but, I have read of alot of similar stuff in the "major effects" forum. maybe someone knows something there I'd bet "the mermaid or pshbrk" {sp}) may know something, possibly r-jo?? they're s-m-r-t!!!! take care chica, dont be a stranger.

Does that mean i love him less because of the things i am not willing to do? No, but by not understanding and accepting my stance it shows his unwillingness to accept me. Everyone says " I dont know how it is in Africa, how hard life is, maybe because i have never been there. I consider myself pretty intelligent, try to keep abreast of world events, i know the situation in Africa. I lnow some resort to all types of things in order to better themselves, but does that make it right? What about those who choose instead to work hard and to do whatever to make sure their families are cared for, what evr job that may be. Maybe I am missing the point, if there is one. This is about two people not one. yes, i am sure that this is a good man, sure he would be a great father and husband, but when the smoke clears and as I am coming down from my, " oh , he is wonderful, the best" high, i must face reality my reality.

Africa: Sub-Saharan	Halt!	QUOTE (lovin_famo @ Aug 10 2008, 10:35 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Peace and Blessings to All, As I write type these words i pray for clarity, and discernment in my life. I told myself that i would not post again, due to different reasons, but here goes. Last year i met a man online. We chatted, talked on the phone, e-mailed, maintaining constant contact with one another. About two months after we met, he offered to fly me to meet him. At the time i declined because of my child, my job (nurse), and honestly because I didnt know him from Adam. Fast forward to may 2008, after much thought, and prayer, i decided to take a chance. Mind you I have never been on an airplane, so i was more nervous being on the flight than actually meeting this man. it turned out to be a lovely trip; i needed the vacation. Here is where things get complicated. After my return to the states, i began to gather all of the required information to file, we gathered all of his necessary documents, with signatures included, before my return home, so i had all of his info. Wasnt really worried about my things, so i thought, I'm set. Halt! My brain starts working in overdrive, dont know if it is God talkng to me after I had asked him for guidance or maybe it was cold feet, i am leaning towards the former. If you guys remember from one of my posts, I explained who I am, my way of thinking, and how I was raised. I asked questions, that's what I do. I was explaining to him that once I file, if things go as planned, once he is here there would be more fees, figuring he would know this since he reads everything, and he was the one that introduced me to the site. Well, to make a long story short, he politely told me and i quote, "If you cant afford the fees, dont worry about it, I just want you to do what is best for you and your daughter, what makes you happy". So, my question was, "Oh, you expect me to pay for your fees?" Although my question was already answered, just wanted to hear his response, or clarify; he didnt. My response, "Okay, since you cant answer the question, I will tell you, NO, i am not paying your fees". In the past he would tell me that it is hard living in nigeria, that there are no jobs available. I have never been to Nigeria, only know what he tells me, but, one thing i know for certain is no matter what situation you are in, if you believe and trust in The Lord, he will provide. No matter what job you have , how small, if it is selling goods on the side of the road, as long as it is honest and you do it in good faith. I am purposely omitting some things, but the gist of it is, you knew my stance as far as the role of a man and the role of a woman in a relationship, so this should not have come up, he should not be surprised, angered whatever. Yes, he is angered, i have not spoken to him since this conversation which was 2 days ago, no IMs, phone calls, nothing. I guess he feels that if I loved him, enough, I would do anything to see that he gets here. well, i think if he loved me he would do whatever, to assist in HIS being here. I tried to explain to him that yes, i love him, I do, but i had a life before he entered, i have a daughter that depends on me to amke sure she is as comfortable as possible. These are my priorities. I knew this would be a stressful journey, and I have yet to file! Is it not enough that once they are here you have to care for them, while praying that soon, they will be able to work to contribute? I knew this, but help me help you. I know some of you are probably thinking, i am selfish ,bitchy, whatever, that this seems very petty, maybe, but before i spent MY money preparing to file, i had to be sure of some things, now i am not so sure, maybe it is his reaction, or lack thereof. I thought he understood my views obviously not. I dont know what is going to happen, my mom told me if he really loves you he will work just as hard as expects you to work. I agree. I leave it in God's hands, because with all this said, I do love him. Thanks for listening! Dana P.S. Please dont make assumptions, or judge, I am entitled to my own views and opinions.

Africa: Sub-Saharan	Please Help!! Confused and Don't Know Where to Begin...	Wow, this thread has really become "in your face" informative . I love that type of honesty, the more brutal the bedda . To the OP, I honestly don't think (and I could very well be wrong) anyone is purposefully harping on the "scam" issue . I do believe (and yet again, I could very well be wrong again) that all here on some level just want to assist you crossing each and everyone of your "i's" and dotting your "t's" . I think the scam issue keeps popping up due to its prevalence in these types of relationships and the fact that you initially brought up the "red" flags that you noticed and then you decided to move ahead . Please don't take it personally, but take it . Kinda like a yearly flu shot (you dont want it, but the dr. says you need it due to the prevalence of the flu...so you bend over) . I, personally; don't adhere to the "scam" policy for each and every failed transatlantic relationship . Sometimes, people grow apart, were not meant to be, or the grass was not as green as one thought . I admire your forethought and your hindsight and my hats off to ya .

QUOTE (BESANGIN @ Jul 31 2008, 10:48 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Imnop123, Even though I personally think your situation got more red flags than all those that will fly in Bejing for the Olympics , I gotta say, "Do yo' Thang, GIRLFRIEND!!!!!" Life is too short, and sometimes we do have to take a chance, but if you are a religious woman, is your decision led by God, or is your desire to be with the man at all costs? Oh I knew mine was from God, otherwise how did I meet the perfect man more than 8,000 miles away? What I have always said from the day I first posted my story is that we are all grown A$$ women, makin' grown A$$ decisions whether they are good or bad. The key is to make sure that you don't invest more than you can afford to invest financially or emotionally. Because if it works, you will get a return on your investment tenfold, and if it don't, you will have enough strength to survive and become an even better woman than you started, 'cause you stared Satan in the face and whooped his A$$! Angelic, where in the HELL where you when I needed to hear YOUR story? Same script, different cast! That is another thing I have always said that brought on some struck nerves. If yo' man or wo MAN ain't investing anything in the relationship besides good ding ding or good meow, then you got a problem. It's sad for me to say, but the best and consistent thing about my marriage was the daily supply of BOOM SHAKA LAKA!!!!!!!A good man will be a good man in ALL seasons, and just because his A$$ gets transplanted in God's own country does not automatically make him a responsible man! So if he is on the internet and the phone with you during work hours EVERYDAY, don't think he's gonna come over here and work like the valliant young boys and men selling LaCasera and sausage rolls on the streets of Lagos to support their families! It AIN'T GON' HAPPEN!!! Now another thing I found quite amusing was when I was going through my visa journey, I was everybody's DAMN WIFE!!!! I think it was OUR IYAWO? If I'm wrong my Yoruba bros and sis' correct me. But when his A$$ acted a fool, I was no longer Morenike Iyawo, but the ex wife in America!!! Now when my Nigerian friends here in the states and in Nigeria saw what went down between us they started singing like canaries!!!! " You should neva trust Nigerians!!!!! (their words to me, not mine, so don't get touchy). I said, " then why the hell you tell me this NOW and not THEN!!!!? " We just pray that God will be wit you and 'im". RIGHT!!!! Now I call my visajourney period my Crack Period, 'cause when I put that crack pipe down, and my lasik eye surgery kicked in and I got 20/20 vision, I saw EVERYTHING crystal clearly! I can't tell you what made me take leave of my senses, and believe me, I am a strong, beautiful, intelligent and self sufficient young woman who became Dumb & Dumber when I met my ex..... Yes I can tell you what made me trip... it was the draw of the Candy Stick!!!! So anyway girl, go get yo' love on! Let your heart and inhibitions go, and drop it like it's hot AMERICAN STYLE, but don't let go of your common sense and your female intuition, because as women we like to ignore it when it's whispering something we don't want to hear. Now go get the Red Light Special, and work it like a champion, 'cause either you will walk away having the best DAMN Smack Down of your life, or you will have a good partner who will dish up Red Light Specials on a daily basis for life, AND without the aid of VIAGRA!!!!!!
