I agree with Julian35. I have never divulged income to any USA girlfriend, and won't to a wife. There must be limits or else something bad can happen like what happened to my brother who had a joint account, most of his money, with his then wife. Well, one day, she drained it almost completely, and shortly thereafter started the process for a divorce. Of course, there had been signs of potential trouble earlier but the joint account had existed for 15 years...
So yes, always have limits else you can lose alot in a similar situation. Thanks for the info. I find the process very intrusive myself.
maybe I should have cherry picked from the illegals that come across the border at night when Ranger Rick is having a smoke and a beer. all she would have to know is that my doors have locks and that my guns are loaded. and as a bonus, I would never have to press 1 for english, 2 for Espanol. I could just give her the handset. and now that the obama crowd is going to give them all clemency, I could have had extra income from welfare or SSI. ironic as it seems I'd be getting some of my money back. and of course learn to eat beans and rice every day...
No! I'll suffer all the B.S. for my Russian woman.
And the point is this -- why should I have to go through all of this to be with a person who is legit in every way when there are many thousands of illegals in the country who collect welfare and get special treatment because the left wing MFs think we should hang our heads and support said persons? (and I criticized muzzy for a sentence...)
Let's face it. Because many of us are trying to go through the appropriate legal process to bring a woman to this country for a good reason, we are being bashed by the very government that we pay to work for us. So whether or not it has to do with "honest sharing of cash value" or just plain honesty in the sense of self, we should not have to completely open our financial resources to an embassy that doesn't give hoot about us. Financial ability to support a wife and kids can be verified very easily. Yet to have to provide documentation above and beyond is ridiculous.
