In reply to the discussion: Just to update you Re: My wife and Sen. Kelly's involvement [View all]NurseJackie
(42,862 posts)38. Nobody is doing that.
But I encourage you to view the OP's public facing DU-journal and it's easy to see several other times that this topic has been brought up. The hostility displayed toward Senator Kelly's staff is almost identical to that which was hurled at people who offered suggestions, or who asked questions in order to get a better understanding of what was happening. Almost without fail the "how dare you?" accusations began to fly along with "I shouldn't have to do that" (implying, of course, that if he thinks the request or procedure (or action or paperwork, or redo, or form, or fee) is unreasonable and redundant or bureaucratic or political... then by-george, he simply wasn't going to do it.
There will be no long-term impact on Sen. Kelly's career.
Who claimed otherwise? But it's certainly wrong to shit all over someone who's trying to help because they couldn't jump him to the head of the line, when everyone else must wait their turn.Edit history

When it separates your family, please let me know how you react, then teach me.

No, it's not. It's what I need to do. I have property there and a valid, easily renewed visa

I'm not divorcing my wife to start this over again. Going back means I never do anything like this

Well, I didn't necessarily mean divorce, I meant just try to track down where it went wrong

That's a very logical and reasonable suggestion. Others have offered similar advice.
