Hello all...Reality hits hard!

Submitted by Chelsea (United States), May 12, 2020 at 10:13

Checking in to see you guys. I have been moving and now on the road. I converted my SUV to a camper and love it.

Welcome to our new people on the forum and thank you for sharing. You never know how much it helps others to see the reality of the illusion.

I have some new information I just found out this morning. This is where reality comes in. USCIS is changing the affidavit of support. They are about to require not only the 3 years of tax returns but also your bank accounts and any assets you may have as a sponsor of a foreign national.

An affidavit of support is a serious commitment. You are signing with the government that you will be able to support the foreign national. If they become a public charge...meaning if they use any benefits,,,,you have to pay that back (up to 10 years)

So if you bring a spouse and he or she leaves you after conditions are removed on the green card after 2 years and they leave you...you still foot the bill. JUST DON'T.

It is nice to see new people here sharing...hello Lana, LIna, Polly, Robin, Jessica and all the other regulars here.

Again please be careful. Reality hits hard and when those bills start coming in that so called sweet romance goes out the window. Best to stick with someone in your own country. Ir is not culturally accepted in the US either for a woman to pay for a man. Don't get trapped. Get out.

I am completely over Mr Once Was and I wonder HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? Honestly I was at a vulnerable point in life and he knew it based on my facebook postings. So I was studied. I am now facebook free....YAY. With the explosion of the internet worldwide....it becomes a tool that these users use to bait in a vulnerable man or woman.

Stay safe everyone, we are beginning to open up everything in my area after this pandemic hit. I am in the south and it was not too bad here. Keep on posting. I know we all love to hear from you. If you are a reader and need to share but maybe feel a little shy....it is ok. It will help you to get it out of your system if you do share. We have heard it all so please share.

Cheers all. Stay safe!!
