I went to bed early on New Year's Eve. I retired that night when my host (my business partner and family I live with here in the Seattle Washington area) went to bed around 1030p. When I arose, it was 2020. New Year's Day was good. The best thing was my business partner cooked the remaining portion of Prime Rib that was cut from the whole Prime Rib that served on the Christmas day family & friend feast. The original Prime Rib was probably 10kg. We enjoyed 7kg on Christmas and 3kg on New Year's Day. On January 2, I woke up to a fever and stayed in bed all day. I believe I was severely dehydrated. I rarely get sick. Not drinking enough fluids had made my ill for short periods of time while I rest and rehydrate. I dressed myself in a hooded sweatshirt and sweatpants And jumped in bed to conserve my heat. I woke up feeling well on Friday January 3. That catches you up. My business partner has much experience with marrying a foreign national (citizen of another country). In his case, the wife-to-be is from Thailand. The prescription to be my special lady starting later this month is as follows. To marry a person of the USA requires several steps. There has to be a documented trail of activity before the US government says you can be legally married in their eyes. You have to show that you have met each other face-to-face (in person), have history of communication over a period of time before application for a fiancee visa can be made. I believe this is called a K-1visa. Once granted you have 90 days after you re-enter the USA to become married with your betrothed. So, technically, this whole process to marry me will probably take more than one-half year and less than a year if you work to satisfy the fiancee visa. Prior to us meeting, we would still have be in each other's presence by you coming to me. As I have stated in my profile, I have no passport (and no real money to spend as I work rent-free to live here and develop a business or two or more that we all can have retirement) to obtain and travel outside the USA. If you want to be my lady, you will have to come to me. You can do that by obtaining either a business or tourist visa by first downloading the form from the US State Department website state.gov) printing it out, filling in the blanks, and taking it into a US Embassy or US Consulate for an interview with an officer. If you already have a visa and have been granted permission to be in the USA, well, youi've already been through the process and know how it goes. Different visas have different requirements regarding how long you can stay. My business partners mother-in-law has a tourist visa (I think) that lets her stay 6 months at a time before having to return to Thailand for a minimum of time before she can return to the USA. She can do this for 10 years without having to renew her visa. She stayed with us for the first 5 months of her grandson's life after he was born in April 2016. She returned in November 2016 and can come back anytime she likes as long as it doesn't last longer than 6 months at a time. During the time you are here meeting and becoming accostimed to me, we will take MANY photos of ourselves enjoying each other while doing different touristy things showing we can get along with each other. Proving this marriage that will occur is not fake and the motivation is to be with me and not too get the benefits of eventually getting a US Green card and/or maybe becoming a US Naturalized Citizen. To deceptively use the marriage-route to get a green card or US Citizenship is a felony and punishable by a heavy fine or imprisonment. After you return home, we will accumulate long distance communication with each other that we can log and show our history of a true relationship. Then it will be time to apply for the fiancee visa. Once approved and you travel back to me and marry me, you fiancee visa immediately converts to a spouse visa. Once that occurs I believe the process starts to get a US Green Card issued to you. A green card allows you to work for payment/income. Prior to having one, you will not be able to perform labor for an employer giving you an hourly wage or salary. You can spend all the money you want of your own here that you convert to US currency. You will be forbidden to earn money before you get one. The green card has a 9 digit number that is equivalent to a US Citizen's Social Security number assigned to him/her. That is the whole process. It seems like there might be a background check needed somewhere in the fiancee visa process. Where references and history is required to show that you are not a radical enemy of the USA that only wants to get on the inside of the USA before attempting to subvert my country. Assuming you work to make it through all of that, maybe this time in 2021 you will be called by the same as I heard many people refer to my mother, Mrs Nally.
