Jessica's Immigration Fund
Donation protected
My name is Jessica, but many of you know me under my artist name, Aimi.
This gofundme is in support of my immigration from Canada to the USA, Iowa so I can be with my long time boyfriend, Nick. We have had an online relationship, since December 20th, 2007 and despite the distance we always made it work! We met online at 14 years old and have been together ever since, meeting in person on several different occassions, spending nearly ever holiday we could together, had wonderful adventures but we always had to say that very difficult goodbye. Now that time has come, after nearly 10 wonderful years with the love of my life we are finally engaged! However with the engagment comes not only the stress of planning a wedding, but the immigration that is necessary to do so.
An Immigration process that has taken all the joy of my engagment away because the stress is just so overwhelming. We need to make a lot of money just to cover the costs of the Immigration lawyer and the Visa itself in a very small time frame!
Here is a breakdown of the costs to make this happen:
Lawyer Fee: $2,616
Visa: $1,760
Full Physical: $400
Long Form Birth Certficiate: $75
Passport Photo's: $30
Marriage Certificate: $30
Total: $4,911.
The amount is due July 10th, that gives us 15 days to make nearly $5,000 just so we can finally be together and not have to say those very difficult goodbyes again, this has been such an overwhelming process, the stress of getting all the documentation for the visa alone has been so much that thinking about the cost of it has us pulling our hair out. Nick has been working over time for weeks and I've been drawing my little butt off to complete commissions so I can raise more money! But we need help from our friends, family and supporters.
I've never been one to ask for donations, I've worked for everything I've ever had, and I wouldn't ask if we were not desperate for the help.
Every little penny counts, every single dollar takes just a smidge of stress off our shoulders so we can get a moment to breath and actually, get this immigration done! We have waited SO long and SO patiently to be together for good, and we need to make this happen!
Any help is so very much appreciated!
