IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Inmigrant Relative of US Citizen (Stepson)	Hi I am US Resident married to US Citizen. My son is 16 years old, lives in Peru, and we want to bring him to USA. My US husband would act as the Petitioner. I know that my husband have to fill out a I-130 form. For the specific case of my son, I think I can submit together the I-130 plus the I-485 plus the work and travel authorization. I have these questions: 1) How long it would take from the day we send the I-130 form to USCIS up to the approval of it? 2) What is the type / name of Visa he would receive? 3) After the US Embassy in Peru issue the correspondent visa, what is the period of time that he would have to enter to USA? 4) Is it true that I can summit the I-130 plus I-485 together? And he needs to ask for work authorization and travel parole? (He wants to work in US). Thank you in advance for your kind reply. regards, Ivette	ivette	Not Telling	Peru	2007-05-02 14:10:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Living in goverment housing!	Girl you are going about this all wrong, fly him into Mexico or Canada and sneak him across the Border, then not only are you not hassled with all the paper work but he is entitled to a lot more in Govt free-bees. Soon Obama and McCain will get this whole Illegals mess smooth over and your guy might just qualify (if not this time, surely next). *When coming across the border... I would not be advertising the : Muslim thing.... if you get caught, it might get complicated.	0	Male	Russia	2009-02-01 17:42:00
Middle East and North Africa	opinion .Do you think it helps or hurts Mena girls when we post our drama on here about our relationships with our men?	I voted yes. There is nowhere else I can go and read anything close to what I'm experiencing especially when my family is not really that supportive. It's not about letting everything influence you but about 'taking what you like and leave the rest' I find that the outside world constantly wants me to doubt my husband's motives and when I come here our love is reaffirmed (yes I understand that's some hoky ####) and makes me feel good and helps me get through those long lonely nights without my Riyad. hey wow you can't curse on this board!!!

Middle East and North Africa	Broken MENA families	It is a very tough situation being apart.... I see now why they say long distance relationships are sooooo hard. So as a tv psychiatrist once said, "Let Go, Let Flow"	Rocketta	Female	Iraq	2008-06-10 21:58:00

Middle East and North Africa	Packing List for MENA Men coming to the USA	Oh man, I may tell him to bring spices but I know he doesn't want to bring many clothes because he wants to get new ones in the states and he said clothes were too expensive in Jordan. About smoking told my hubby that was a NO NO. I have allergies and was an asthmatic growing up. I can't have it around me. For the person who said they slipped up and let it slide early on, My hubby tried me early too. First I caught him on the Cam smoking, I pointed out that he said he quit and he was like the holidays make it hard for me I miss my family .... ok as long as you know you can not smoke around me. Then when I was in Jordan with him the night before I was too leave a friend gave him a cigarette to calm his nerves because I was leaving. He thought he was going to charm me into saying it is ok to smoke. I smiled and told him to please smoke the cigarette but do it knowing that I would NEVER kiss him afterwards. He went into the but I'll brush, yadda yadda yadda and I was like no deal but that it's his life and his choice to smoke and my choice what I do after he smokes. He didn't smoke it ..... while I was there.... He probably lit up as soon as I left.	Rocketta	Female	Iraq	2008-06-16 23:50:00
Middle East and North Africa	Feeling Sad	Although my process has been somewhat expedited I completely understand what you are feeling. I'm lucky in that my husband is willing to go to a internet cafe everyday so we can talk, some days see each other via cam but we talk on the phone a lot too despite the language difficulties. Even with that I've been known to shed a tear or two at missing him... usually at night when I'm laying in my bed alone.	Rocketta	Female	Iraq	2008-06-16 23:12:00

Middle East and North Africa	Dr Phil	Having watched it again.... knowing what I know now... it really was funny when they were discussing the visa process.	Rocketta	Female	Iraq	2008-06-19 07:22:00
Middle East and North Africa	Dr Phil	Wait didn't it come out in the 2nd program after the girl came home that the guy was hitting her and she was basically scared to say anything in front of him? I remember watching the show and it was before I met my husband and I frankly didn't think it was making the ME look bad. It made that guy look bad and that girl look like a young fool. Also, let's be honest there are laws and cultural issues in the ME that most Americans would have problems with, there have been instances when that has bitten an American in the @ss before. I just say this to say I didn't see the program as an attack on Arab culture or the ME, just this messed up couple but that's just my opinion on it.	Rocketta	Female	Iraq	2008-06-16 22:57:00
Middle East and North Africa	Representing MENA!!!	I love horoscopes! QUOTE Stability is important for both the Capricorn woman and the Virgo man, and as they’re both Earth element signs, they have an affinity for the same pleasures in life. The Capricorn woman - Virgo man relationship can be sensually-fulfilling, as long as the Virgo man accepts the Capricorn woman’s need to be in control and she can deal with his mercurial teasing side.

Middle East and North Africa	Representing MENA!!!	My hubby is Iraqi but he lives in Jordan. I've been on this site I guess since February after we got married. I hope to one day answer these polls with my hubby is here with me and we've been married for xx years.	Rocketta	Female	Iraq	2008-06-11 11:27:00
Middle East and North Africa	MENA Ladies! Q&A time!	I think my ex would be mad cool with my husband. Our relationship had it's bitter moments but we ended up really good friends. I think of him often because I wish nothing but happiness for him and I lost touch with him so all I have left is wonder.	Rocketta	Female	Iraq	2008-06-08 20:39:00
Middle East and North Africa	Dogs and Islam	all I can say is I'm glad I don't have to worry about what's permitted or not permitted. I told my husband how many cats I had and that we had a dog that live in the house. Now my cat is 16 years old and I've known my husband for a year. I have no respect for people who give up their animals for a man. I'm sorry, I can't trust you if you can do that to the most helpless of living things... but that's just me I know not everyone thinks like I do. BTW, I'm not saying that is anyone in this thread or that is a muslim specific problem. Edited by Rocketta, 27 June 2008 - 03:55 PM.	Rocketta	Female	Iraq	2008-06-27 15:55:00
Middle East and North Africa	Bickering in MENA	QUOTE (Mags @ Jul 1 2008, 01:27 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> This thread is just a request for ALL who frequent MENA to have a bit more respect for one another. No one is being singled out, it applies to everyone. This thread wasn't started so people could continue on with the bickering started in another thread. It is a polite request for members to have a bit more respect and if they don't like someone steer clear of them and their topics. So, move on and don't use this thread to continue the previous subject. oh really is it a request for all? I question that based on previous experience? Were you the one who changed the title of my forum was that a polite, nice way of saying move on to the people who were trolling the thread? Do you think that helped keep the peace in MENA or only appeased those who were doing the derailing. It's one thing to ask for peace but another when your not willing to apply rules equally and fairly to establish this peace. And this is a new subject a subject about the fairness of moderation on this site and ways to end the bickering?	Rocketta	Female	Iraq	2008-07-01 00:33:00
Middle East and North Africa	Bickering in MENA	QUOTE (Marlita @ Jul 1 2008, 01:18 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think people who cant take the heat should keep outta the kitchen. meaning, if you dont like a thread that is not violating TOS keep yuh raas way! Why go into the thread and stir the pot and cause all the confusion and bickering? I've seen worse threads on VJ, than the ones stating how hot your man is and those run just fine on VJ. This is childish. It's what is leading to the bickering. Someone only need give their opinion once on a subject after that it's TROLLING. Apparently name calling is wrong but trolling hey that's all good as long as you say it's just your opinion and you are using your free speech.	Rocketta	Female	Iraq	2008-07-01 00:20:00
Middle East and North Africa	Bickering in MENA	Well I think allowing certain posters to derail threads should be a violation of TOS once someone posts their opinions then that should be it but apparently some get to post them over and over and over like their word is the truth and law. Seems to me if you stopped allowing the trolling certain groups would be allowed to bicker? I know I would never go into a thread I didn't agree with and spend the majority of my time but hey that's just me.	Rocketta	Female	Iraq	2008-07-01 00:19:00
Middle East and North Africa	How Muslims Are Treated In USA	wow, this thread is on a very bad tangent. I don't mean to speak for Donna but I think part of what she is saying is that yes there are ignorant idiots in the US but there are ignorant idiots everywhere......then the convo starting spiraling. lol I saw this story when it was aired on TV and yes it is very touching and give you hope. I've heard some seriously stupid comments from my family and I would've never thought I would hear them from my family. So it's been an enlightening, sad time for me. I'm not Muslim but my husband is but guys don't have it as tough as women. I know when I was in Jordan, a cab driver said something very untoward to my husband about me and he was very very very angry so it does happen everywhere and it's wrong wherever it happens.
