Wow that sucks that you have to go through this crap. When will the rocky weather end.
My mother and father got married in Thailand and when they got to Canada they had to do it again as well.
I hope you can get a good supply of sugar juice to numb the pain. Good luck with the rest of the hoops that you have to jump through.
Well, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Immigration were both total busts. There is no avoiding the fact that I must leave the country in less than 3 months. Immigration did assure me that I would have zero problems returning and obtaining an E-Visa again. They also said I could extend my one-month visa-on-arrival to a one-year, but left things a little unclear, looks like I will always have to be able to afford an international trip once a year. I was planning to go the USA anyhow, but was hoping to leave with my visa situation secured to avoid another family potential family separation, but it looks as though that's not possible.
When I visit the USA I am going to borrow a car and drive to the National Visa Center to demand answers from a real human as to why are case has been getting denied for over 4 years. I feel our US Immigration is hopeless at this point, but I want to be 100% sure both Cambodia and the USA aren't interested in offering us any longterm residency and family security.
If the US works out, we'd like to stay long enough for my Cambodian family to get acquainted with my 'Merican family, then use their green cards to relocate to a third country that is more welcoming, perhaps Albania or Georgia, but not sure yet. We feel it's best to probably give up dreams of owning land, sell it, and be prepared for a potentially forever transient life.
Strangely enough, Suriname was very welcoming, at least the government was, and all non-Surinamese folks living there. Monkey-B and I miss it a bit, but Srey-Yuu and Pov would never return again because of all the painful memories.
I could cry. What a shite show. Can you just cross the border to Thailand for a few days. There are so many expats there. I don't get why you're being put through the wringer. I wish for a solution to appear.
