I had a very hectic day yesterday and slept a solid nine hours, last night. I talked to a few close friends, and ones that supplied sponsor letters. I will be calling my partner at 11 am 5pm overseas today. An appeal would cost around $10 grand and take another year or two, and 3 red flags (age for one, OK for Hollywood, but not marriage immigration apparently I am 70 he's 36) that would be difficult to over come.
Yes The interview last an hour, was mean spirited, calling me a Grandfather. I don't hold any grudges against the Visa Officers, they were just doing their job.
I have some health issue, that need to be looked after. I hope to come to a mutual agreement, that's best for both of us, so we can remain friends. as each moves on, to different horizons.
Happiness is our natural state in life, its something we all want to achieve .I will continue to help Roma refugees and perhaps taking in one, as an occasional short term house guest, as I have done with J.K. I will continue my volunteer work as an arts festival, event promoter. I may occasional come back here to help other sponsors, with suggested solutions. Au revoir Amigos.
