VisaForYou.org? The text you quoted was written by me and posted on BE.
I don��?t know of, or post at VisaForYou. Are you saying someone
reposted my original writing there?

I��?d really appreciate it if folks wouldn��?t republish my
original writings anywhere (even that I posted in other threads on
BE) when trying to answer other people��?s immigration questions.
Thanks in advance!
