My husband is from Tanzania. He came to the US on a Fulbright Scholarship (requires him to return to his home country for at least 2 years). Following the Fulbright year, he got a MA scholarship in CA. We met, married and are dealing with the stupid stuff you write about, as well. We have our Green Card appt. soon. It was tough finding a sponsor, as neither of us have that type of money.

I can be reached at juliescelfo@gmail.com. Many thanks in advance for getting in touch. Regards, Julie Scelfo

Thinking of you right now Monday morning East Coast time, Betsy! Soak up every moment! Safe travels! woo hoo, you go girl, what a great adventure! And you are showing your daughters, through example, not words, that mothers can be mothers as well as strong independent women! And showing your daughters that they can be cared for and safe and loved and calm, even when Mom is away!

Wishing you a successful and highly fulfilling trip! Here's hoping that you will come back to find that the red tape has magically unravelled, allowing you to have your husband back again.

I've got kind of a long nose, hopefully five days will do it.

I cannot believe you are still dealing with that crap! I really hope you can get it all figured out. I sooo feel for you and your girls. <br /><br />I hope you enjoy your trip, take it all in. I can&#39;t wait to hear all about it!<br />Even without pics and fancy words, you still always manage to make me smile and feel so happy to be a mommy.<br />Safe travels!

I just have to say that this obstacle our Government is putting you through regarding Ian is just pure bullshit! No other way to say it. <br /><br />Anyway, hope you have a very nice and safe trip!
