Today on The World: US troops make their way through southern Afghanistan on day two of a major military operation aimed at clearing out the Taliban and winning over locals; an anti-gay backlash in Senegal, and the government is leading the way; and a bride and groom separated by visa problems and thousands of miles go ahead with wedding day plans – thanks to the internet.

    Program for July 3 reported on a Chinese bride who was told 6 months would be enough for her immigration visa to the USA. After 8 months she is still waiting. Guess what? After 19 months (since 30 November 2007) my Chinese wife is still waiting for an immigration visa, with no good reason for such long delay. The lesson? Do not believe the words of Consulate or USCIS persons about immigration!
