I sometimes hate to talk on the phone but it is the only way to connect with my husband anymore. Well I can connect with him if I buy a ticket to the center of Mexico. I was feeling the distance between us and feeling so disconnected from him. I cried alot as I do so easily these days, when we talk. My poor husband. I know he is so discouraged and I can hear it in his voice. I start to think negatively about everything and our future and I don't like it that I can't look at his face and talk to him. But after talking for a while I could hear the sweetness come back into his voice. I just pray to God that this experience will not take away or change my husbands sweet sweet heart of gold. I know that he puts up a wall to protect himself from the pain. I so wish I could stop the painfulness of this situation for both of us. Never did I ever expect for us to be in this situation. I only wanted for us to do the right thing by going to Mexico and getting his papers (permenant residency and green card). Just think if we hadn't of gone we could still be together and have alot more money in the bank. My Mom and I have drained our bank accounts and I am on the verge of losing my home. I have been following many a bloggers and have learned about the FM3 requirements. I was very disappointed to learn the financial requirements and that I don't qualify.
When I talk to my husband he just says we have to live with it, it is the way it is. He says just don't think about it! I try but it is very difficult. I feel as if my time is being robbed from him and me.
I feel for you. the day we found out I knew there was a possiblity that this would happen, because I was there, it is all sort of my fault, if I would have just known about immigration law back then anyway, the day we found out he was so excited, he thought we were going to go back legally, and he was really proud of that. It was very dificult seeing his heart broken...then when canada denied him entry, it was another trajedy... ..... What state in Mexico is your husband in?
ReplyDeleteI feel for you. the day we found out hubby was banned was heartbreaking... seeing his heart broken.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for your situation, it makes me sad to read about it. I had my hopes up for years that the law would change and things would be easier, but it didn't happen. We had a lot of advice from various sources telling us about going back, applying for the waiver, waiting it out, etc. But one really sharp immigration lawyer told us the reality of what all is really involved with that route: the chances are slim and the cost to try is high. We decided not to go down that road and instead moved to Mexico together. We knew we would need money to do this and be ok, so we worked and saved for 2 years and got completely out of debt. Water under the bridge at this point, I wish someone could have told you this back when he was still stateside. Your concerns about being financially sound are legitimate and you will need to make a plan unless you are comfortable with just scrapping by (nothing wrong with that, I'm just saying if you need more than that you need a plan). I'm here to help you out any way possible, what part of Mexico is your husband in?
ReplyDeleteMy husband lives in Guanajuato, the town of Manuel Doblado.
