When several people were posting their comments / views on married extensions (vs Retirement), I joined in. Hopefully others who might have the option (like me) between the two extension options and are considering, will read the various posts and it will help them make a decision, with a major plus point of married extension being the possibility of getting a Work Permit and working here. I read so often people knocking married extensions, a few people have contributed reasons in favour of them. Threads also tend to meander from OP posts, which is a good thing so long as comments are positive and helpful. So no i don't think it was sorta irrelevant.
