as even though the issue is only related as in immigration issue, i have a cousin whose wife is here (USA) from the Philippines. Despite the fact that they are married and they have a baby, she has worked legally every day of her life in this country, she is facing deportation. They will make her leave her baby here too. They have spent already over 20,000.00 in legal fee's already fighting this out. It was not a bdsm issue at all, I just wanted to echo what Delia said as being good advice. One screw up in the wrong direction and she is no longer viewed as the woman who has never committed a crime here, always worked and paid taxes here. Its worth a few hundred to avoid that and all the stress and fear and expense that goes with mistakes.
