RE: Ireland has just sold its independance to Europe.

Hi Chris..

Sorry, I didnt make myself very clear there!

I meant that I have noticed that you do obviously feel very strongly about discrimination, and was just curious as to what your experiences had been in this respect.

I didnt mean that you discriminate! As I said, I didnt make myself very clear!

RE: What is the one thing that you do not tolerate in a relationship?

One persons stupidity is anothers sense....

RE: Ireland has just sold its independance to Europe.

why do you feel so strong about distrimination, Chris??? Because you do....

RE: ITS A YES!!

Yes, exactly...

Go Ireland...


Go...Be Independent......just dont whinge when it goes wrong...

RE: Ireland has just sold its independance to Europe.

Ireland did the same thing as lots of other countries - INCLUDING the USA (in their own way), by the way...

Jumped on the Credit Bandwagon, rode the Celtic Tiger gleefully, gobbled up all the good things offered from the EU,and burped loudly with satisfaction.

Now, they are suffering as the rest of the world is financially, and cannot ride the ride no more, and unlike larger and stronger countries they are unable to cope.

I have no sympathy, really, Im afraid. And I felt the same way when I still lived in Ireland too..

RE: What is CS Forums really

RE: ITS A YES!!

RE: I'm weary of this.

I thought this WAS Zombie Land..

RE: What is CS Forums really

Ive just eaten the yummiest cookie in the WHOLE WORLD..

Now off back down to the yard sale from whence it came to get some more...

Sorry for hijack, OP..

RE: have you found romance on this site?

Yes I have.

i met the man of my dreams... unfortunately, he is not perfect and has a complex.

RE: Irish Men Voted 5th Place In The World As "Best Lovers"

When, and if, Irish Men EVER know the meaning of fulfillment, strike me down with a leaf of spinach..

RE: money or love?

Love..

A strong, loving couple can conquer the world and will always find a way to make money..

Money can maybe conquer the world, but without someone you love to share it with, the attraction of sitting on that gilded throne will soon wear off..

Immigration..Aaaaaaaaaargh!!

I think the differences are this, Ambrose.

Firstly, Joanne and Eric married in the States, spent some time together and then decided to return to Canada. That instantly made the situation easier for them, rather than if they had married in Canada. If Jesse had come to Ireland, married me there, spent a certain amount of time there, we could have come back to the States together, without any hassle much at all.

Secondly, the rules in Canada as regards paperwork are very different to the rules in the US, as has been brought out in this thread already, so the two cases are not really comparable.

Jesse and I married in the States. There is no problem with our situation at all. It is just the amount of paperwork that is the problem, and the cost.

RE: how many countries have you visted? and which one was the best?

Sorry, that was me..Damn PC sharing's naffing me off!

RE: Speaking To The Ladies, But Guys Are Welcome(LOL)

He's a Sweetie..

He's making a lovely bowl of homemade turkey soup to soothe my nerves!!

RE: Speaking To The Ladies, But Guys Are Welcome(LOL)

Im grumpy today...

RE: would you be happy if the army

America DIDNT INVADE IRAQ. Even I know that.

If Sadaam had complied with the NUMEROUS requests to allow the UN Inspectors to do their jobs none of this would have happened.

And the optimum word there was "UN" - NOT THE USA.

That may be a simplified version of events, and I apologise to all the Political Experts here, but as far as I can ascertain, thats the bottom line..

Immigration..Aaaaaaaaaargh!!

Its interesting, AND theraputic, for me to do this thread!!

Immigration..Aaaaaaaaaargh!!

Exactly. Thats the stress. Im lucky that Im in a position to produce the cash; alot Im sure are not.

So, that is why I am feeling particularly touchy about "illegals"!!

Immigration..Aaaaaaaaaargh!!

Well, the reason I asked is that I have to file AND PAY for all the papers AT THE SAME TIME. No sending the papers and then waiting for us; it all has to be paid for then and there.

And I envy you re the $550. This is going to cost us about 3 times that much, and it all has to be produced upfront. And thats US Dollars..

Immigration..Aaaaaaaaaargh!!

Sorry, a question..

I understand from your post that you and Eric have already filed all the paperwork, but not yet paid for it. Is that correct?

If so, when and how do you pay for it?

Lets Hold a CS Election..

I was thinking of Dru, when I made the list, actually!!

However, as she does not seem to be on the forums much these days, I chose elsewhere..

Immigration..Aaaaaaaaaargh!!

My sister became an American Citizen a couple of years ago now. I remember her telling me that the Citizen Test was so tough, even her own American Husband didnt know the answers to some of the questions!!

Thats why Im glad Im generally interested in politics and economics and suchlike. Jesse is also very good with teaching me about the Constitution and similar, so I have a good teacher..

Immigration..Aaaaaaaaaargh!!

Although I find the US Immigration tough, I do understand and respect it. I dont expect any benefits of any kind until I am a US Citizen. I know what I was getting into, and I am living with it! So, yes, I agree again with you about your comment above..





I am somewhat out of touch with the situation in the EU now, but I do find it interesting to hear about your own experiences there, trying to move around and also to be joined with your loved ones. Its a contradiction in terms, that European Union, and I am finding it quite hard, to be honest, to see what good has really come out of it. But, as I say, I am somewhat out of touch with it all now, so am no expert!!

Immigration..Aaaaaaaaaargh!!

Thank you, Riz. I would be interested in knowing how it goes..

RE: Should Illegal Immigrants In The U.S. Be Allowed Any New Health Care Plan?

I agree..



Obviously my own situation is slightly different, as Im going down the Family Route for Permanent Residence, and I dont wish to go off topic here. But I have to say this: I have already been offered TWO jobs here in Ogdensburg, well paid jobs in offices, but am UNABLE TO TAKE THEM until my paperwork is all through.

So, because I am going down the legal route I am being penalised, because I KNOW FOR SURE that there are illegals working not 10 miles from here..

RE: Should Illegal Immigrants In The U.S. Be Allowed Any New Health Care Plan?

That is already "officially" in force. Unfortunately, catching them is another matter..

RE: Should Illegal Immigrants In The U.S. Be Allowed Any New Health Care Plan?

Well, I would actually AGREE with that..

Otherwise, it makes a complete mockery of going through the official immigration and citizen procedure..

Immigration..Aaaaaaaaaargh!!

I understand from Jesse that you and Eric were married BEFORE you returned to Canada. That makes life alot easier for you, than it did for me, of course.

Its good to hear of your experiences, though, Jo..

Hope all is well with you and yours..

RE: Should Illegal Immigrants In The U.S. Be Allowed Any New Health Care Plan?

Ok, thats fine..

So, in that case, perhaps all immigration procedures and costs should be dropped for ALL, then..



Why should I pay large amounts of money, and spend hours and hours painstakingly filling out paperwork, because I want to DO IT PROPERLY, if I could just do the banana boat thing and get it for free??

Works both ways..
