Dear Editor:
I received an approval notice from the Immigration and was granted the fiance petition. It was written that I had until August 16, 2004 to marry my fiance from Comala, Colima, Mexico. I was elated. Needless to say I had the invitations printed, the hall rented, the ladies put deposits on their dresses, sized and all the centerpieces purchased and flowers and decorations made, the rings and customary items, my wedding dress and DJ for the dance, a trio hired for the reception all dated for July 24, 2004 so that I would have sufficient time to submit the marriage paperwork in time for the deadline.
On Tuesday, May 25, 2004, I took a week off with no pay from work and took the bus to Juarez spent almost $1000.00 for passports, notarizations, photos, hotel and accommodations, physical and visa cost. I have just returned from the trip that was supposed to be the beginning of the rest of my life and was in reality a nightmare, a farce. For the rest of Rosemary's letter to the Editor, see here.
