@Stephen ******

it’s a waste of time and energy

Good old-fashioned bullying. Their best years were in middle school. They comment to get “likes” from equally mature members.

@Vova ******

I’ll just add your boarding pass. I once forgot to keep mine. Oops. Otherwise, Jan’s response is spot on.

@Carlos ********

I have not been impressed as well (I also have an astigmatism).

@John *********

He also said, “so where do I stand here” and that he was 59, presumably for a reason. You can’t just cherry pick a phrase out of a post to try to prove how right you are.

@John *********

He did. I’m not sure where the confusion is. Leave marriage completely out of Nick’s comment as:

1). He did

2). As you’ve noted, the OP is not married.

The OP is not required to get a marriage visa. Even if he were married, he would not be. Nick recommended a solution to his problem, which is a visa based upon being over 50 if he has the funds.

@John *********

Nick said “then applied for 12 month extension based on being over 50.” He made no mention of being married.

@Brandon ***********

fantastic! I had not read the application, since I wasn’t ready to apply:-). However, good point…the application itself may clarify some of the muddy areas. Thanks.

@Jeff ******

if one has $100K seasoned in the bank, one doesn’t need to purchase insurance.

@Marty ********

I think it needs to have sat for at least a year (it might be 2 … can’t remember off-hand).
