Middle East and North AfricaNeed advice before trip to Morocco
QUOTE (mandyu1 @ Aug 15 2009, 10:44 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Now a question about marriage and multiple wives...they cannot cheat, but they can have another wife. So anytime during your marriage, if he felt he could take care of her, he could get married again? I know this is something I would have to talk with him about, but I just want to be clear on that.

Thanks again for the advice smile.gif
polygamy is not common among muslims in general. not sure about the middle east, but for muslims in general it's not. FYI.

Middle East and North AfricaNeed advice before trip to Morocco
by the way, about the polygamy thing:

that was put into place at a time when there was a number of wars and men were often getting killed in the battlefield. this left a big surplus of marriageable women who couldn't find proper spouses. in this case, what they did was allow a man to take more than one wife to even things out. BUT it does mention in the quran that IF a man can EQUALLY treat all these women the same, then he can marry...and i think he needs to ask permission from his first wife before he does so as well. however, this is the catch: how many men, honestly, can really do that? i mean, treat all these women the same? if you think about it, it's pretty damn hard if not impossible, so this is used as a deterrent to keep men from doing this. however, you do see this being abused in many parts of the MENA world, and that is unfortunate. just keep that in mind. i would NEVER be cool with my hubby marrying another woman and he is not the type to do that anyways, in his words "one nutty wife is enough for me!"

That is wrong about a Muslim man not being allowed to marry a non-Muslim, they can marry a "pious" Christian or Jewish woman if they wanted to.

Well, honestly...I say go for it but be realistic about it not working out. There seems to be a lot of barriers in your way and if he is going to move to France, how would that work out for you? Or anywhere? He does have a point about your children being uprooted, and it would be tough for them to get adjusted to another culture/area (not sure how old they are). He seems to be thinking way ahead which is great.

I don't doubt you guys love each other, but love is not enough to build a relationship. There should be respect, trust, mutual plans for the future, etc etc....how can you guys mesh your lives together, is the key here.

Morocco, I've never been but I'm sure it's like any Arab country and if he is like most Moroccans I've met, they are nice, polite, welcoming people. A bit conservative...or extremely liberal. There are few that go in the middle and I like these people because they're either people who come from really good families or reformed people aka people who've been there done that and have changed for the better. And I'm just generalizing here, so hope no one takes offense.

Another question is: do you know what Morocco is like? Or France? Would you know what you're about to get into? I am sorry to say but it seems that you'll be enduring a lot of hardships and if this relationship isn't 100% tight then it will be very hard to get out of later. Just make sure you guys have the same goals for the future, how he is in regards to saving/making money, his living habits, his commitment towards his faith, does he value his culture a great deal, etc etc.

Also, when you go, how would you guys meet? How will you spend time together? I'm sure that some cities are more liberal than others, but this is something to consider as well. Just wondering....

I don't know, perhaps for your own peace of mind you should make the effort to go, but you should really sit down and ask yourself all these hard questions and ask yourself whether you are strong enough to go through this process to be with this man. If he is without a doubt your soulmate go for it. But I see that you two haven't known each other very long...so you don't know that for sure either, I am sure. Either way, at the very least you'll have gotten a nice trip to Morocco...

Good luck....write more if you can.

Middle East and North AfricaI need more education on halal foods
I've had this argument with people a lot and I used to be real hardcore about the meat I eat. I'm a Muslim, but a very flimsy one I must admit. Halal meat does taste better as the blood is entirely drained from it and it lasts longer as well, same as kosher. But if you really can't find any, he can always say "Bismilahirahmanirahim" before he eats anything smile.gif I know that's not a great answer, but hope it helps. And as Lisa mentioned, there are sites online that can guide you to halal stores in your area. Good luck!

1) most likely you will need police certificates from both kuwait and iraq. basically, from anywhere you have lived since the age of 16.

2) you may need to get some letter stating why you did not go to the military. from my understanding, military service is mandatory in most countries in the middle east. i've heard that jordan stopped this, but pretty sure for other countries this is solid.


THANK U FOR UR RESPONSE
I DIDNT GO TO THE MILITRY CUZ I WAS IN KUWAIT AND WENT BACK TO IRAQ AFTER THE GULF WAR SO THE MALES WHO WAS IN KUWAIT DIDNT NEED TO GO TO THE MILITRY THAT TIME AND NOW THERE IS NO MANDATORY IN IRAQ


PLEASE do not write in CAPS.

You may need to get a letter from them then specifying this. Being from such a sensitive part of the world, you're probably better off overdoing the paperwork as much as possible. Good luck.

Pray without ceasing! Our preacher said on Sunday...even though it may seem like you just want to fall off the radar, you know, where the Devil doesn't see you and doesn't attack you...we are in the shadow of the Almighty. There is nothing else in this world that could even come close to loving us the way God does, we are His children and He will protect us. If God is with us, who can be against us? Although the problems seem great and we feel maybe no one cares, God is there always with us and these trials just mold us and make us liken unto His image...to bring us closer to Him.

There isn't an actual music video for this, there is a youtube video with the song & some pics to it. This song is called Only A Man by Jonny Lang (he is an awesome blues artist that has made a Christian album). Listen to it. This song touched me deeply and everytime I hear it, it makes me want to cry because this is the mindset we should always have....enjoy.



I LOVE JONNY LANG, HE HAS A FANTASTIC VOICE! He's got this awesome song from back in the day... "Lie to Me".... good.gif good.gif

The most important thing is to make sure you and your girl are going over interview questions. I have a list of questions i can give you if you like. When my fiance went he took a small photo album of pics of when i was there with him, and recent proof of relationship. He never got to show them any of this, but he had it if need be.

They will ask you several questions about your girl. My fiance got hung up on the romantic question, but my senator is finding out there was not a real reason for his denile. I will tell you this, if you do not understand in what reference the interviewer is asking a question, ask them to explain. Do not answer any question that you do not understand. And if you answered a question that you thought you knew the answer too, but they ask it again that is a sign of you did not understand, and do not answer them. Ask what do you mean by that, or they are using it as a trick question. Unfornatly only so many are aloud into the states a year and some very good men might be denied. So have your girl call her senator a couple of days before the interview and see what they will do if you get denied. I had only 1 and half days to try to keep my faince's petition in Morocco and the only senator i could get ahold of was not willing to call the consulate. I wish you luck and let me know if you want those interview questions.

well, hypothetically, once you've paid you AOS fee, you will be getting an email from them verifying that you paid and then you will be able to log back into the NVC payment page and download the cover letter(s) that you will need to submit with your package.

for the AOS (affidavit of support) package, you will probably need the i-1864 which can be found here:

http://www.uscis.gov...00045f3d6a1RCRD

that form will give you details on what you need to submit. if you have a co-sponsor, they will fill out the same form. if your co-sponsor lives in the same household as you, they will fill out the i-1864A which is here:

http://www.uscis.gov...000b92ca60aRCRD

when you've paid the IV fee, you will also get a cover letter to download and print from that same site:

https://ceac.state.g...ice/signon.aspx

and then you can download the ds-230 and ds-3032 from there.

once you're done sending all this stuff, it's up to NVC to process it all and then find a date for you to schedule. i'm not sure about the 2 month thing, because it varies from consulate to consulate.

good luck!

Therapist? Great, now I need help? Forget it, some are not meant to have families, Im one of them.
Im a good person, always counted on to make and do the right things, Im tired of being counted on. Im a good person, too big hearted, hard worker, worked for all I have in this world, nobody gave me anything, just heartche.
All in all, bottom line, if you love a person, you dont shut them out, you communicate one way or another, in good and bad. You dont hurt a person on purpose just to show a superior statue. Im human, Im not perfect, but I never hurt a person to "teach them a lesson" especially on matters of the heart. Im through, Im tired, beat up mentally, I just want to know there is kindness, and respect, and honestly between men and woman who truly love each other.


beth, there's nothing wrong with therapy....but if it doesn't float your boat, it's all good too. i can suggest a cheap alternative: St. John's Wort. I was suffering from a really deep bout of depression back in college and a therapist prescribed this for me. I took it three times a day for six months and noticed a huge change, and it helped a lot. What it does is mainly stabilize your mood so you don't get too excited or too down. Not saying you're a nutjob, but after knowing what you have gone through, I wouldn't be surprised if you felt that you needed something to level you out. If you feel like you should go out and get wasted, do what you gotta do, so long as you're careful about it...but hopefully don't make that a habit...

As for your man: I hope things work out. Granted, things are tough and it's really bad right now and everything, but it's not the end....we all have our own different journeys, stories, and experiences, but with all that's said and done, when you love someone deeply, passionately, etc. you may react in ways that you will regret later, but you most definitely do not push it or try to end it if you didn't really want to stick around....I would take a step back and look at the situation overall, and him, and YOURSELF. And ask yourself if you want to continue with this process. I would also agree with some of the posters about verbal abuse being a bad sign which may lead to other forms of abuse. Please, protect yourself before anything else. No one will ever love you like how you will love yourself!!

Only he can tell you why. Stop trying to call, stop e-mailing, it's making you look desperate. It's making him know he's winning the "game". Take time and relax but don't be alone 100% of the time. Have a gf come over and have some wine or a cocktail or two. Get your mind off of him and this process awhile.

i totally agree with this, and what others have said...you cant do anything else at this point. he needs to calm down and man up about stuff. we all know how hard things are when it comes to this process, and of course no one can know what you're going through right now...but i hope you go eat some tacos and have fun with your neighbors and just veg out this weekend, don't call him or contact him for a few days. see what happens...he should realize his stupidity and come crawling to you begging for forgiveness. however....his behavior is disturbing and i would be concerned as well.

Ghassan is an Iraqi from Baghdad. He fled to Syria 2 years ago. Syria will not allow Iraqi's to earn a living- so he has to depend on his family to send him money each month. He lives in a basement of some "apartment" building that is crumbling. Not very good living conditions at all-I could go on and on about all of this, but I will spare you all the details- I am sure you have your own horror stories of such things. Currently his "temporary residency" is about to run out. At this point, we have NO clue what he will do. Hopefully he will be able to do some bribes (as every other time) as that is how things work over there. If not, we are not sure where he will go. He refuses to go back to Iraq and not too many other places will take Iraqis. We are doing A LOT of praying lately for something to come through...

So there isn't any possible way he could have his residency card extended until the day of his interview...I'm sure you've already talked about that or already tried that. Hopefully the embassy will get back to you in the morning or your hubby can talk to someone else first thing tomorrow. I'm praying for ya Beth!!!



I know Amanda, call was short , quick , and to the point. Anyways, in the email I sent them, I told them French immigration wants a statement from embassy, stamped my the embassy of his interview date. I had the interview letter translated into French, but they wont accept it, then said could be a fake, Oh come on!!!, anyways, I asked if they could write a statement in French, did not hurt to ask anyways.

Gesh, do they understand about his card?? funny, they told him for us not to pay the K3 fee, its been terminated, just show up for the CR1 interview. She told him all fees have been paid for the CR1, "yeah we know"
We NEVER got a request or ANYTHING from embassy on the K3 at all.
I dont know what to think, hopefullly they will answer my email tomorrow or Friday. Honestly, I dont have the strength to deal with this, Im sick as a dog, fever, coughing lungs out, I feel like death warmed over. Think I will lay down for a while. Thanks Amanda, hugs.

Awww Beth...I do hope you get an answer soon & get better fast!!! Stress won't help you get better, trust me..I got sick too when I was away from my hubby and being stressed made it last longer because my body wasn't strong...so hang in there!


hubby should call them again and clarify the resident card issue and probably with french authorities as well...but hopefully it all works out either way good.gif

Morning all, Iwish I could say its a good morning, but its not, I called NVC and was told our CR-1 is also in AP. Its hopeless now, I wish I ccould just crawl under a rock. K3 in AP since 08-11-09 and now this am, told same for CR1. I give up, its not meant to be.


ladies, after 5 calls, I got a supervisor Ms. Lila, she pulled my K3 petition I-129F and took it out of AP and sending to embassy. She told me to call her Friday for a update to see if already sent to Paris, but she did pull it, after tears, and choking on phone, she told me to breath, its going to be alright. She was a very nice lady, and made sure I understood to call and ask for her on Friday.
Dont know what will happen with the CR1, she herself did not understand why in AP, she is also moving that petition into final review now herself. Someone please tell me she was real, that she told me the truth.

We are still waiting for case complete at NVC but think its too late for a October interview, and French fresidency card expires Nov 6th dont know how and if France will extend it for 3 months, that 3 months would be great, so we are done I guess in France, now probley have to transfer to Algeris, and I dont want that, and honestly a bit afraid to travel there for interview.


hopefully your time will come soon, even if its a november interview....hope it goes well regardless. why are you afraid to go there, just to ask?
