K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	beloow 25 yrs old if female	QUOTE (pushbrk @ Sep 7 2008, 11:01 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> QUOTE (PlatyPius @ Sep 7 2008, 07:55 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> For a K1 Visa, the non-USC must be able to marry in his/her country of origin. Ergo, the OP would need to be able to marry in the Philippines in order to be granted a K1 Visa. So, if the PI says you have to have parental consent at 24, then you have to have parental consent. No, this is not the USCIS rule. Both parties must be legally able to marry in the location where the marriage will take place. You're right. I was referencing an article that was rather poorly written, in that the K1 info was mixed with the K3 info. I just saw the "must have signed letters of consent from parents" part under the heading of "K1" without realizing that they were comparing the K1 to a K3.	PlatyPius	Male	0	2008-09-07 10:16:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	please people update your times lines	Ultimately, it doesn't matter one damn bit. Cases will be completed when they're completed, and just because "Bob" filed when you did doesn't mean that Bob won't be married and working on the first kid by the time you get your NOA2. Don't rely on the timelines of others....it's a sure way to feel either despair or superiority.	PlatyPius	Male	0	2008-10-12 21:25:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	Terminating a K1 relationship	You only become legally responsible for her after you've married and filed AOS, as far as the "public charge" thing. I would simply contact USCIS to let them know that the K1 will be allowed to expire, that you are not marrying, but that it was indeed your intention to marry when you filed. I would also mention that she is reluctant to leave, simply to CYA in case fraud comes up.	PlatyPius	Male	0	2008-11-27 11:41:00

We are hoping to receive the devorse decree this month i was trying reseting my interview for 3x.. and i cant reset it on the date of my interview..so i was hoping and trying to get some instruction to what i can do, but the sad thing is they denied me I just wanna say thank you for the feedback... so if ever i file for another application for petition do i need to gathered again all my documents b'coz the embassy took all my recent documents..so i have no new to add as evidence.. one more question is... is there any months or time line before you applying for another petition after you got denied? or you can apply the new petition anytime? tnx again! You can file a new petition as soon as you have the documents ready. How is it this petition was approved when one of you was not free to marry? This is a critical question because of there has been a material misrepresentation, you may have a whole other set of problems with the second petition. Classic pushbrk.

Middle East and North Africa	Continuation of "it's not been a bed of roses."	What I was trying to point out - as a guy - is that if she is really saying and doing all of things that she says she is, he's going to be WAY resentful. If I were in his situation and those things were happening/being said to me, I'd either completely go off and have a screaming match, ending me me leaving, or I'd just keep silent and then leave one day. I would NOT put up with that kind of thing. She may be "just venting", but if she's really saying and doing those things, then it's real - not venting.	PlatyPius	Male	0	2008-08-24 11:54:00
Middle East and North Africa	Continuation of "it's not been a bed of roses."	Jesus. If I had treated Mags like that when she'd only been here 3 weeks or so, she would have kicked my ####### and been on the first plane back to England. A person really CAN'T assimilate into a new culture in a couple of months, ya know..... Mags waited a year before she got a job. We could have used the money, but her getting used to the area and the culture was much more important. She still doesn't have a driver's license. It's inconvenient, but it isn't my place to *make* her go get one. Same with submitting her resumes for jobs. Seriously. #######? Again, I would have gotten my ####### kicked.

I have no idea about your education and where you were educated or what you were educated in. All I know is that I follow our known scholars in Islam and not modern people with degrees. Being a scholar would first mean being native in the Arabic language and being educated in linguistics. Then it would take being educated under another scholar from toddlerhood until old age, before a scholar would be learned in just ONE islamic science. Like I said, I have no idea what you studied and how far you've come, but I take my fatwas and rulings from scholars only. I do follow the cookie cutter rulings, because I believe things outside of the cookie cutter lead to bid3a and this is how the deen becomes polluted with things that are not true. Since when is a Ph.D. not a scholar? Narina, I'm not one to come out and smack someone upside their head with a keyboard, but I truly feel the need right about now. HOW DARE YOU JUDGE ANYBODY? How dare she? She's Queen Narina. She knows ALL about Islam, and apparently has a golden cootchie men will pay $10,000 and a "ton" of gold for. Sounds more like someone buying a green card to me.

I'm just frustrated. I think too far into the future I guess. No you don't. In a relationship such as yours, you HAVE to discuss things that might possibly come up later. All of these things have to be brought out, discussed, agreed or compromised on, and filed away and the next issue brought up. Before Mags and I were even engaged we discussed things like burial wishes, finances, retirement, etc. I don't think it's possible to think TOO far ahead. As for the rest of the BS in this topic.... just consider the source, realize that she is NOT a scholarly resource, and ignore or flame as necessary.

Plenty of those things Platy said are true of plenty of people (HEY a generalization! like the reason this whole thread was made in the first place... to list generalizations!). I'm the one who started this thread, and I've already said the purpose of this was to make people laugh. I guess I didn't realize it was going to "turn into a disaster" because I hope for the best from people. Stupid me. Have you done research to see how many people those 'generalizations' actually apply to? And even if some of them really DO apply (who gets to decide how many is "plenty"?), was there really a reason to be nasty and call the USCs in the MENA couples "stupid" for pronouncing something wrong - especially in such a hard to pronounce language like Arabic? No one is perfect when learning something new. I can't believe that especially someone married or engaged to someone from another country would criticize someone for their attempts at speaking a new language. Although, maybe Platy doesn't know any other languages other than English. Americans are called stupid because most only know English, but when they try to speak another language, they're still stupid?? I don't think people who are trying to learn English are stupid or sound stupid. What's wrong with trying to learn a new language anyway? Other than that one, none of those generalizations apply to me. And I don't care if they apply to others. Why should I? Your purpose was to make people laugh. So was mine. Those of us who have been on VJ for a while have watched new MENA girls come in, suddenly become Muslim, ask inane questions like "Is Coast bath soap haraam?", and other amusing things. So, I'd say the majority of people in this topic have laughed. A few who are a little insecure have gotten irate. Which amuses many of us, too. Because then we get to know who sees themself in those 4 items. Which provides even MORE fun and excitement as we then talk about you in private for the duration of your stay on VJ. If you're lucky, you might even become an internet meme! Or, in the case of narnia, narina, or whatever the hell her name was - you might even lose every single bit of credibility you had. She may not know it yet, but she is DONE on VJ. Only the submoronic will believe anything she says. That made me laugh....watching her self-destruct. I love it when people bring about their own destruction. So, you see, your purpose is still valid. This thread has made me laugh.	PlatyPius	Male	0	2008-11-16 23:26:00

You know you're NOT in a MENA relationship when you're an ignorant American man that is bitter because an American girl picked a MENA man over him...and he had to go to Asia or Russia and buy himself a wife!!! I don't like people that stir things up and then cop out with a "I didn't really mean it"...yeah you did! Wrong and wrong. a) There is no way in hell I would have EVER been interested in someone like you. MENA guy was your best choice. 2) My wife is from England, and she's here on the board; ask her if I "bought" her. c) Why is it "BUYING" a wife from Asia or Russia, but NOT buying a husband for YOU? d) I never said that I didn't mean it. Because I do. The women in this forum that are guilty of the things I mentioned in my 4 items make me sick. Edited by PlatyPius, 16 November 2008 - 12:29 PM.	PlatyPius	Male	0	2008-11-16 12:28:00

QUOTE (Y_habibitk @ Nov 15 2008, 10:34 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> QUOTE (TamaraLovesAdam @ Nov 15 2008, 10:16 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well, in this topic it does no good to let Platy ruin it for you, you know. I was just thinking about the time I was dying to go to the restroom and was going to the Cairo Airport. When we finally found the restroom outside of the airport, there was an older lady outside the "restroom hole" with the roll of toliet paper. I asked for toliet paper and she literally gave me ONE Square. I needed more than ONE Square. I paid her a pound and asked for more toliet paper and she gave me another square. Finally I paid 5pounds and grabbed the roll of paper, only to find out that when I got into the restroom hole, there was NO TOLIET, just literally a room with a hole in the ground. - That was not a good time! Oh, he hasnt ruined a thing Ya, I learned fast to carry TONS of kleenex in my purse for the few places that had a regular toilet. I never did use any of the "hole" ones. lol I think i just might know where all the "regular" public restrooms in irbid are (only after 2 weeks) hahaha although, the restroom situation is a good one for MENA relationships lol See? Y'all are smart. You realize that my post is only offensive if it applies to you. It obviously doesn't, so there's no yelling and screaming. Let's wait around for some of those whom it DOES apply to though, shall we?	PlatyPius	Male	0	2008-11-15 22:40:00
Middle East and North Africa	You know you're in a MENA relationship when....	You know you're in a MENA relationship when: 1. You suddenly convert to a religion you've only heard of a couple of times. 2. You try to use words from your SOs language, but - being a stupid American - you pronounce them completely wrong and sound more as retarded than as you really are. 3. Things that made your American boyfriends disgusting, slobs, vile, etc are perfectly acceptable and considered "cute" now with your MENA fiance. 4. You suddenly decide that living in a desert with no sanitation services, buying meat covered with flies, and living in a culture completely different from your own sounds like a swell idea.

Middle East and North Africa	Question about Egypt Embassy	Yes, never admit you are wrong or apologize to anyone you've inappropriately maligned... that's the way to do it.	PlatyPius	Male	0	2008-11-16 14:13:00
Middle East and North Africa	Christmas in MENA in the USA	Not Muslim. Not Christian. Yes, we'll have a Yule/Xmas tree. We will never, never, NEVER have a murdered tree. I've had a live one once before. It's planted in the yard and is about 15 feet high now. We use a fake tree. The cats haven't been much of an issue. They bat a few of the lower-hanging ornaments around occasionally, but that's about it. I've never had fake snow underneath a tree, so I don't know how that would work. I have a tree skirt. I haven't seen any suspicious stains on it yet....	PlatyPius	Male	0	2008-11-19 15:44:00

However, carrying it on and on is just unecessary. Bringing your cronies onboard is also uncool IMHO. It's like watching a mad highschooler get all of his friends, then get a mob mentality going and standing back laughing. Hopefully everyone can chill out and stop the bashing. Im a little ashamed that some of the women on this board so freely drew out their claws and got to "mobbn" also. Lisa For the record, I didn't bring anyone over, nor did I ask them to take up the torch. There was already a topic at Expats about that thread, so I posted about the latest in there as a means to rant and curse and complain. If people felt the desire to come over to VJ and post their feelings about it, that's entirely up to them. I didn't recruit them. Come on, you know you put up a billboard. I knew this was a bait thread from the beginning. That's why I wouldn't comment on the topic. You guys over at Expats act your posts are transparent and no one can tell how you plot to come over to VJ and stir sh!t up with people you don't like. Frankly, Expats or no expats, platy, amby, len, tara, just your being here together in one thread is a red flag coz you have no other reason to be here other than to bait. Why anyone would spend so much time gossiping about people you never met but just don't agree with, putting out negative speculations, plotting to "get back" at them, and acting like gangbangers on a message board is beyond me. MENA women sanctioning a foray into MENA such as this is even more pathetic. Think whatever you want about your "enemies", but it takes a specially low-esteem type to waste time in groups doing that. There are all kinds in the world. Why am I not surprised that you picked the one about you? lol For the record, I NEVER thought Tara would actually post what I wrote. I wrote it to be funny. I meant every word, don't get me wrong. I really do feel that way. But I didn't for one second think she would post it verbatim over here. I posted the one about me and the one about narina, but there are more, of course. Why waste time complaining about the supposed bad behavor of others while engaging in worse behavior? That kinda negates the point. Oh, and I'm also the one who got Mike/Ewok to put the kabash on the plotting, too. Of course you are. You read more stuff over there than the actual members. You should join up.	PlatyPius	Male	0	2008-11-19 23:57:00
