Thanks for wishing me good luck.
however, I still am very upset that you seem to think that I did something bogus. Just let me tell you that what you said earlier (and still hinting at it I think): "...Look who is talking you got married for papers..." etc, that really is a hurtful thing to say.
My wife (then my girlfriend) went through some pretty bad times, especially during the long time we were apart before I came here, and we had our own worries and frustrating times, when we started the process...that everything went smoothly so far, was because we were so meticulous and tried to everything honestly and neat as much as we could. we never needed a lawyer, we did everything ourselves. we did well, and we got everything done with minimal problems, but i think we deserved it...one shouldn't just disregard it as "easy way out"...believe me, whatever way you take, nothing is "easy".
Please don't think that everyone gets married for "papers". it's a hurtful thing to say, and disrespectful to all the honest couples. There's no point telling you our whole life-story, but before you say such things to someone, consider for a moment that there are those of us who are honest, and take their relationships and marriages seriously.
we've been married 7 yrs now...most imporatant thing for us was to be together, and i guess that's why i waited this long to apply for citizenship, instead of right after 3 yrs.
damn, I don't know why i even bothered to explain!
anyway, good luck to you, too!
