I stopped smoking the stuff in 1972 when I became a Christian and discovered I didn't need that crutch anymore as I learned to lean on the Lord for my peace of mind. I discovered that God forgives but not the US Government! I married my sweetheart in 1978 and she is a US citizen, we raised 2 daughters who are joint US/Canadian citizens and we've lived in Abbotsford since 1988. I did receive a waiver from US Immigration allowing me to visit the US for up to 6 months at a time back in the early 80's which I've been told by US Customs never to lose as they do not give that particular card out anymore. What I would love to do is get it all cleared up before I die and go to heaven but I suspect it isn't possible. What do you think? Forgiven but not Forgotten in Abbotsford. ====================================================================== david ingram replies: It sounds like you have done all you can. The only way to really remove it is for your wife to sponsor you to live in the US and go through the whole process of Green card and US citizenship. david ingram David Ingram's US/Canada Services US / Canada / Mexico tax and working Visa Specialists US / Canada Real Estate Specialists 108-100 Park Royal South West Vancouver, BC, CANADA, V7T 1A2 Calls accepted from 10 AM to 10 PM 7 days a week Res (604) 980-3578 Cell (604) 657-8451 Bus (604) 980-0321 [email protected] www.centa.com www.david-ingram.com Disclaimer: This question has been answered without detailed information or consultation and is to be regarded only as general comment.
