Whist I'm not sure being part of JCWI can help me in a direct way, it does make us feel less alone,isolated and often lost in facing a near totally deaf,uncaring and often brutal machine of bureaucratic,nonsensical and inhuman legislation.
Unable to meet the spouse requirement income level ,therefore cruelly separated from my wife and both going through the daily anxiety and general ill effects on health this entails......What God has joined together let no man put asunder.....indeed.
Thank you for lending us a voice.
