Loxori situation update
a week ago
So, I have a big update for those who've been following the situation with Loxori.
(Post for those who don't know - https://www.furaffinity.net/view/62636568/ )
The notaries didn't have time to prepare the documents for her. She had to do a visa run. (visa run is a short trip a traveler takes out of a country and then immediately back into it to get a new visa stamp or reset their legal period of stay)
And it was a terrible experience. Loxori was not allowed back into Kazakhstan for several hours. As I expected, they looked at her like she was a strange creature, giggling about her being Ukrainian (ugh). They came up with a million excuses not to let her in, and only a crowd of lawyers were able to explain that they were wrong. It's very sad that people working at the border don't know the laws of their country. (The main problem was that they decided if the visa was canceled, then Lox had supposedly been there illegally the whole time, which even sounds ridiculous. The visa stopped working the moment she was fired, not that it had been inactive the whole time.) Two hours of pleading, screaming, and explaining... Finally... She was allowed in for three months. Now we'll be working on the marriage documents. The specific $3,000 fee is irrelevant at this point; we'll only raise this issue again if the marriage application is not accepted, and also if she can't find a job within two months. But even so, legal fees still require a lot of money. So while we don't have a specific $3,000 goal, any purchase is very important and welcome.
(Besides, I might have to open a fundraising campaign for an even larger amount. I just recently read that you need $10,000 in your account to apply for permanent residency. But I think it'll be most likely impossible to save that; it's easier to buy it for $3000. That's a ridiculous amount, considering most Kazakhstan citizens earn less than $500 a month lol. But we'll talk to lawyers; maybe this can be avoided with some clever legal tricks.)
The damn rent should be paid on the 5th too after all.
Speaking of which, ScarDraw has failed to get enough due to no purchases, and we (Loxori and me) currently don't have the funds to borrow. So, any help with saving up for her is even more welcome. All the help you've given to Loxori (for which we're SO MUCH GRATEFUL, THANK YOU EVERYONE) will be for nothing if we can't pay rent. Here's a shared folder featuring both artists' work. (NSFW warning)

P.S. For those waiting for commissions, we've won 3 months so the artist is back to drawing her art debts, don't worry, everyone will get updates soon <3

I might be able to help more after my next pay cheque. I will try.
