Congrats, the Kafkaesque story comes to an end.

Franz Kafka (1883-1924) was a Czech-born German-language writer whose surreal fiction vividly expressed the anxiety, alienation, and powerlessness of the individual in the 20th century. Kafka's work is characterized by nightmarish settings in which characters are crushed by nonsensical, blind authority. Thus, the word Kafkaesque is often applied to bizarre and impersonal administrative situations where the individual feels powerless to understand or control what is happening.

Hmmm....very much so, but with a happy ending.

So what’s the next move, man...Are you able to bring your family here yet?

I have been working on that for a while, and it looks possible my wife could qualify now for a settlement visa. So we are taking advice, filling forms and getting documents for clearances and requirements, hopefully we have the whole visa bundle ready for submission within the next week or two. The kids break up from their current school year at the end of March, so if we can get the application in by then its possible we could all be together again may/june, or possibly earlier.

....I do hope that there is no further impediment to the continuation of our family life which might stall things again.

Fingers crossed for you , family is the most important thing after all. It must tear you up to be apart from them. I don’t even want to imagine it.

Great description and definition of Kafkaesque.
Your story reminded me so much of Kafka’s work “The Trial”. Apart from the ending, lol. Which I won’t speak of because You had a Hollywood happy ending!

Anyways, congrats again! And wish a swift return of your family. And may seeds keep spreading.

My extradition to the USA has been refused by the UK, and maybe now I can start building my life up again after nearly 5 years of grief.

Does this mean you are free to travel to any Country that is a current member in the E.U.? Will this apply to all of the E.U. or just the U.K.?

My lawyers say that I had better not risk leaving the UK at this time until I have got things sorted with interpol and possibly the prosecutor in Maine USA....So this coming week I will contact my Public Defender in Maine, and see if he can get some sense from the Prosecutors Office.....we shall see.

Congrats Gypsy! Glad to hear my oppressive, evil government can't get their hands on you! You are lucky you sniffed out that rendition attempt, they would have water boarded you until you gave up your entire customer database and then they would have taken us all down just to spite you! lol
I shouldn't laugh but if I didn't I might cry...

They could have waterboarded the Atlantic Ocean thru me...and I could not have given up anything since I don't recall names and addresses, don't travel with such data that might be so sensitive..and the moment I was taken close friends made sure that anything that might have been of any concern was way beyond my reach....I was even immediately locked out of this site....since I don't take security lightly....especially when others are at risk.
