bobmal99 Posted December 6, 2002 Report Share Posted December 6, 2002 Hello everyone, Today, Friday, December 6, 2002, the Boston Globe published an article about the continuing K-Visa delays. This was done mostly because Alan, just kept hounding the media until someone would finally listen. Please go to - - www.bostonglobe.com Click on City/Region and the complete story will come up. Story was very good, and mostly positive except for the obvious. The reporter did not want to place the term mail order bride, but stated her copy editor made the decision to place that in the article. All in all I hope this will be seen by the right people. It seems there are more and more of these stories showing up. Hopefully, this trend will continue and more of the public will become aware and hopefully a bit outraged. Thanks, Alan & Tony, Bob M.

tonado Posted December 6, 2002 Report Share Posted December 6, 2002 The e-mail-order-bride doesn't apply to my fiancee. She hates emails and doesn't like to use computers. She only uses it to watch DVD movie or listen to CD music. We talked to each other by phone. Maybe she should be called "telephone bride". -- Tony Link to comment

rsun Posted December 7, 2002 Report Share Posted December 7, 2002 When I first read the Boston Globe article, I was pissed off. It just goes to show you the level of sensationalism in the US for this subject. After reading that article, I almost feel that the reaction from the other US people is that we deserve these delays and the message of being seperated from our loved ones was getting confused with the "mail order bride" stereotype.

rsun Posted December 7, 2002 Report Share Posted December 7, 2002 I agree it's a step forward. I'm assuming this is the first published article about the visa delay in China? Has anyone seen anything else? Link to comment
