hi. you guys have passports, right? could i use one of you as a "guarantor"? i just want to be able to go over to detroit to catch the odd concert. the process to be "allowed" to do that seems really ridiculous, but this is how things work... i hope things are going well with you guys. life here has been different. i went into a little bit of a funk when i got here (the whole process of moving here was just really overwhelming, with everything happening all at once), but i'm starting to get out of it. really, i'm glad i had the time away from people and free of external pressure to reflect, heal and adjust - and enough things to d to keep my mind occupied. it's what i needed. but, yeah, if i can use you as a guarantor it would make this process a lot easier. as it is, i'm going to have to rely on some documentation and argumentation...

no passport enhanced driver license would that help

Jessica Amber Murray
no. i don't even have a g-1. thanks anyways...

The Oldest Aunt’s Wife
no will a enhanced help you get a passport

Jessica Amber Murray
no. or at least i don't think so. i should probably check to make sure though.

we can help

is it an identity

you can put us down as knowing you

Jessica Amber Murray
i'm sorry, i'm not understanding the question. i have two choices. i can get a guarantor (somebody with a passport, i'll check to see how flexible that definition is) + 2 references or i can just go with 4 references. reality is i have 0 references, so going with the guarantor would make it a lot easier to further argue with odsp documents, etc.

i could use you as a guarantor, but not a reference, because you're family.

what does a guarantor have to do

Jessica Amber Murray
i'm under the impression that a guarantor is simply somebody with a passport, and that itself is enough to act as a reference. i have to look further into that... very little of this process is making sense to me, so i'm not really expecting to find a valid purpose or explanation.

The Oldest Aunt’s Wife
let use know if we can help

Jessica Amber Murray
i will, thanks.
