From what I read yesterday, Jack could almost have funded the whole thing with his donation. Hopefully he knows that.

It's true that the Consular process is cheaper. However, it typically takes much

Processing times are listed on line. I-130 processing times are almost equal to I-129F processing times

And that is why people do go fund me. Much easier than working a second job.

The whole thing was Jack's idea. I never asked for anything from Jack.

Doesn’t GoFundMe take a percentage? Why not just have Jack write you a check? Or Venmo?

GFM takes 7.9% + .30 for every donation

And a check or venmo takes nothing. Seems like a bad financial decision.

If this whole thing was Jack's idea and he is smart and not senile, why did it

Has your son tried driving for Uber or Lyft as a way of earning the money he needs? If not, he should look into it.

5/21/19 4:27pm

I would be interested to see how the son is trying to earn any money at all.

TheWanderer

5/21/19 4:38pm

Also, just a thought, but maybe he isn’t ready to get married if he has to set up a GFM for something like this.

Why would he do that when people will just give him (and GoFundMe) money instead?
