    ill try to inspire poly...what was your forum name before?

    umm psycho.. i could hardly remember what happened but i think it was due to world crisis..that was 08=09..there was a backlog delay in applications. some were being granted but really staggering. anyhow., somewhere around 2010 I resigned to fact that I would be going but regardless..I just let the app stay with diac. then this and that , 2 more babies after..bang! agent emailed me about the approval.

    so now im trying to figure out how to get that 1st time migrants discounted airfare tix. if anyone would kindly direct me to the thread..I would appreciate it. thanks in advance.

    by the way..any tips on how to use this site? it doesnt have the old segrated folders I was used to.

    great evening guys...corleone

    dinner time..be back later
