Middle East and North AfricaCAIRO'S FINAL REVIEW CLUB

Tomorrow is our interview in Cairo and I will be by my husbands side. I really hope things go well and a special thanks (F) to Sarah, Sandra, Wendy and Jalan for helping me out with any questions I had throughout this process.

We are hoping for the best. My anxiety hasn't kicked in yet, but my husband is very anxious. Mind over matter, we just gotta be cool, calm and collective Also, just to relax and be ourself. We may be from different cultures, but we were passionately drawn together. I want to start a family and begin our lives together in my home country. We can only hope and pray for the support and blessings of the US Government.

Sincerel

Your very welcome leia and mohammed!!! Congrats on your interview approval today!!! Enjoy your life together!!! You should have his visa Thursday a week from today :thumbs: :dance: :dance:

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI-864
Hello to all!!!

ok I have a different situation. I receive ssd so I'm not required to file a 1040 because I dont have taxable income but...I do file for two reasons one is if there is a stimilus package that is the only way to recieve it and two for my personal records. So, I read the frequently asked questions for the aos on travel.state.gov and it asks: what does the sponsor do when she was not required by law to file and income tax return during a given year? It says: If you did not have to file a tax return, attach a written explanation and a copy of the instructions from the IRS publication that shows you were not obligated to file. Well I didnt have to file but I did so, does this still apply to me? I have all three tax transcripts ofcourse it shows 0. If it does apply to me what would my written explanation contain???
Thank You Kindly In Advance!!! Good Luck With Your Visa Journey!!!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresI-864
Please bare with me this is so confusing for me. I have a few ?'s My father is our co-sponsor this is his income resources: VA Pension,SSD,Retirement and he has an IRA. My mother passed away a year ago next month so ofcourse she is on his tax transcripts this is the last time he files married/jointly. On his transcripts ofcourse it only shows the taxable income. VA Pension is not one of them and this is the majority of his income 35,000 just last year. Can we count this income and if we can what do we need to have for proof? The only thing they gave him was a printout of last years total they paid him. He does have direct deposit thats the only current proof. Can his IRA be used as income or asset? If so, where would he list it on the I-864? Should we send in the original/certified death certificate with a letter of explanation? on the 2009 transcript it lists my mother as decd. If we do what would this letter contain? My last question thank goodness. My fathers birth name is Jackie but he uses Jack even on legal documents like 07-08 transcripts but not 09 and on his bank statements and letters from VA. I know he needs to write a letter of explanation for this. The truth is his birth name is female to him so he used Jack all these years. He still holds a grudge toward my grandmother for this. What will NVC accept in a letter about his name? Will we need anything else to send with it? Sorry for the length of this post. Thank You For Your Time And Patience In Advance!!! Good Luck With Your Visa Journeys!!! :help:

Thank You So Much for your input i really appreciate it :) It's actually his egypt residence apartment number Where he will recieve his visa I suppose. I will deffinatly call NVC about that. We answered the question about the military specialty/occupation on the DS-230 but on his certificate it does not list one. How do ya think that will turn out for us?

If you dont mind me asking. What did they rfe you about on his birth certificate?

Thank You Very Much!!! It would deffinatly be great to get the "LOGIN FAILED" :D
and Congrats to you both :D

exactly... well after the first one that really messed it up I told him I would cut his hair... ohhhh wowow I had a great time but everytime we leave the apartment he has to put a hat on ;) hehehehe... but if I keep asking around I will find a good one... Rachid has a beard and not many men here have beards so that part is hard to find someone that knows how to trim them right... best of luck to all of us

Middle East and North Africaplane tickets

I am so frustrated. Hicham just wouldn't tell the lady she is wrong and so he ended up paying 500 dollars more for a round trip ticket for August 2nd. Thanks for your help. I am so mad they wouldn't let him buy a one way ticket.


I can have Rachid call hicham if you want to and let him know what he did for his one way ticket???

Middle East and North Africaplane tickets

HELP! ROYAL AIR MAROC WILL NOT GIVE HIM A ONE WAY TICKET. HOW DID YOU GUYS GET IT? I CALLED AND CALLED AND THEY WERE SO RUDE TO ME I TRIED EXPLAINING BUT THEY SAID NO IT DOESN'T SAY IMMIGRANT VISA SO WE CANT ISSUE YOU A ONE WAY TICKET. THIS IS SO ANNOYING! SHOULD WE JUST GET A 2 WAY?



If the ticket is good for like a year or something then just get it .... I know you will be back before a year is up.... or make the return date a year from now.... I wonder if that would work??

Middle East and North Africaplane tickets
Rachid came through JFK with a one way ticket and the customs were no problem... but he found a good price from casa to ind and I picked him up there.... I live in Kansas City so the 7 hour drive back was so much fun to just spend time with him and talk....

congrats on your visa.... when is your baby due?? after the expired visa date?? maybe you could contact them and explain the situation, maybe there is a extention process you could do ...

sarah


:dance: Mabrook :dance:


Your Visa is supossed to be valid for 6 months. You may want to contact the Embassy, tell them about your situation. Maybe they have some advice for you.


Good luck with your new baby (inshaAllah) everything will work out fine for your new family.


If your child is born in Egypt, you can go to the American Embassy and have the birth recorded so that the child has both Egyptian and USA citizenship.


does Morocco have dual citizenship also?? just wondering

sarah :star:



Yes Morocco recognizes dual citizenship

thanks :thumbs: but I do have another question and I don't mean to sound like a dork fish... but what are the benifits of haveing a dual citizenship?? :)
