The husband is an American. His wife is British. She applied for a spouse visa in April 2013. As of this writing, they are still waiting for an approval.
"The whole process has been a disaster," the British bride tells me. "It is near impossible to get any information or time estimates."
The State Department demanded that the bride prove she would not be a financial burden to the country.
No, really.
The bride has an English degree. Her husband is the co-owner of a store in the Denver area. She said they were required to prove that they made enough money to live above the poverty threshold.
"This is all to show that the immigrant spouse won't become a financial burden on the country," she said.
Meanwhile, the federal government also required our blushing bride to undergo a rigorous series of medical exams -- totaling $500.
"I was told that if I didn't get that done, I wouldn't get my visa," she said.
So you might imagine her frustration at she watches the Obama administration allow thousands of disease-infected illegals into the country -- and then provides them with medical care -- compliments of the American taxpayer. |
