Having to jumpthru hoops 39 years ago to marry my LBFM (Little brown Filipina Maiden) and spend thousands of dollars and many trips to both countries embassies, I wouls like to know if any one else would like to sue the government to get back our expences, If i would have known then what I know now, I would have sent her and her family to mexico and spent $500 to cross over in San Diego. :D

I do like the definition of trolle, and those of you who did not or would not serve in the military are alowed to think only because of those who did, spelling is not the mark of an officer or enlisted, the mark of both is we put our lifes on the line for the free citizens of this nation so u can sit behind a keyboard and make stupid judgements, if and when dadt goes away please go down to the recruiters.

Surfacewarrior,
I do like Artclam's and SheServedToo's comments. They make sense.
Welcome to Alipac if you truly stand with us against illegal immigration.
surfacewarrior,
there's a lot of Vets. here, matter of fact they probably yelled at you, at the beginning of this post.
You brought your wife and her family here legally and that is truly commendable, No one can take that commendation from you.
The Vets. here may not fight in the field anymore, but I can assure you they fight like you ain't never seen and they are fighting for you and your wife.
They fight long and HARD!
I just don't think they realized how pissed you are because you did the right thing and millions get a free pass.
I hope your new wife falls in love with America as much as you love her.
Not having spell check sucks! Duh! Ah! I'm a roofer!
Thanks forest, I was attempting to be tongue in cheek ( irony )when I posted, because it burns my soul to see the wave of illegals coming here when our family did it correctly and millions more did it according to the law, I have report illegals on speed dial.

Welcome to Alipac surfacewarrior.
Welcome! :lol: With so much going on and people being burned so much, caution is the law of the land. I'm sure you can understand that. For example, we keep hearing there is no way the Dream Act will pass. Are they being honest, or are they trying to manipulate us so we don't fight them once again?
Thank you for your service and for following our immigration laws. I respect that.
surfacewarrior I welcome you. Growing up next to a military post, being a military wife and now the mother of a STO, I understand your feelings. Unfortunately we have trolls comming on this site trying to trap us into saying things that they can twist. Some of us have developed a sixth sense or have been burnt by our well meaning support. Sorry if you are a victim of our overcautiousness, but that is the climate we are forced to be living in.
surfacewarrior"] I have report illegals on speed dial.
Now I really like that idea! And thank you... really.
Welcome boats, glad to have another Navy person here....
Don't retreat, just "Refuel"

I was in the same situation as you described, with my wife. We did things the ethical and LEGAL way only to see millions of others skirt the system to get a free ride! Yes, it angers both of us to see what is happening!Quote:

First off, why do you refer to your wife as my LBFM (Little brown Filipina Maiden)? Seems a little disrespectful. What ever, it's your relationship.Quote:

But only because I chose to hire an attorney to do all of the paperwork. Had I done it myself, it would have cost only a fraction of that. I never had to go to the embassy at all as USCIS was the one that handles the paperwork and contacted the US embassy in Argentina. Once the paper work was completed they contacted my present wife and she went to the embassy to get her K-1 visa. There is absolutely NO reason for you to travel to any embassy of any country.
Why would I want to sue the Government? We both knew what we were getting into when we made the decision to date and eventually want to get married. I was also very aware of the expenses involved as they are on the USCIS web site. My attorney also was very clear about her charges. Why would I want my money back?
Yes I could have sent my wife to Mexico for the price of an airline ticket. But why would MY wife want to be in her new country as a criminal? What kind of a life is that to offer your wife? How could you even consider letting your wife go across the desert of Mexico with a criminal coyote when it is possible she would be raped, killed, kidnapped or arrested by the border patrol and deported.
Your story is not adding up. Why are you even complaining if your wife is here? It almost sounds like your marriage went bad and you are blaming the government.
I believe the part about crossing from Mexico was tongue in cheek.Quote:

I was weaned on feminist theology victimology and I've come a long way baby! I have absolutely no problem with "Little Brown Filipina Maiden." Matter of fact, lots of women would wish that their husbands would still cherish them so after 39 years of marriage.
Pet name for my lovely bride of 27yrs. is "BANK OF AMERICAN WOMAN, YOU CAN DEPOSIT AS MUCH MONEY AS YOU WANT, BUT YOU AIN'T WITHDRAWING A DIME!" or "DAUGHTER OF SATAN!"
She likes both. Damn! she mean!
So why do you want your money back?Quote:

My wife has become a citizen and even has a permit to carry a firearm. You just can't get these two things coming over the border illegally.
Sorry for the doubt, but everytime we get someone here posting about overseas marriages it turns out to be a troll.
Big tex i don't want my money back, it was irony for all the ones getting here free, hoops is hoops and laws is laws, we never will understand each other but lets push for the common goal, the goal is to jump thru the hoops and and do that so we can obey the laws and do things right. My LBFM ( Little Brown Filipina Maiden ) also has a pistol permit as we call them here in Bama, hunts deer, hogs, song dogs, skins what she kills and cooks a mean venison adobo, if you are ever in Bama, let me know and we will break bread together. I just can't fathom that everyone who posts about overseas marriages is a troll, but i live down two dirt roads so there are probaly numerous things i don't know about trolls, Its refreshing to bantor with you, so keep in touch.

Just got off the phone with Sessions, Shelby, Rodgers office, will call several more times, kind of worried cuz I got straight thru. not many calling.
Thanks surfacewarrior, I mean that!
I understand now. As I said, my wife and I chose to do things the right way and we too feel pretty angry that our government chooses to turn their back and allow criminals people to come and go into this country while the law abiding people have to "jump through hoops." It's not quite fair. That is why we have been big activists since about 2003. Hope you will join us and I apologize for doubting your sincerity here.Quote:
