IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	what i can do if i got denied	This situation is not funny. He sent me an email, and I tried to personally help him. Others have tried to help him as well, yet he still asks the same questions over and over. Not to mention, he can't get his story straight. I have quite a bit of sympathy for denials because I have been through 2 of them, which is why I tried to help. But I now feel something isn't right, and I have a right to state that opinion. I wish the OP good luck, he is in for a looooonnnngggggg wait.	tany1157	Female	Morocco	2012-03-08 11:28:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	what i can do if i got denied	Maybe it's not my place, but why are you accepting money from her knowing that she is basically poor?!? My husband never, ever relies on me for income, and because of a past relationship I had with a user who took advantage of my "giving" nature (which was just stupidity on my part), I would never have stayed with my hubby if he took my money, over and over again, knowing I'm a single mom. He has wayy too much pride for that. I make almost double what your wife does, and I still can't see how I would afford to send him money all the time. I did send his family money when his father passed away, but that was a different circumstance. I expect my husband to pull his weight, and he does. I don't want money from him, and he doesn't take money from me. I pay for my plane tickets out there, and he pays for everything that I need on my trips. We try to be equal on the money we put into this relationship. Also, there are too many discrepancies in your story. I had compassion for you before, but I'm too cynical and suspicious, and something doesn't seem right here.	tany1157	Female	Morocco	2012-03-07 13:42:00
Middle East and North Africa	Second Interview Approved	Thank God!!! I am so happy for you!	tany1157	Female	Morocco	2012-01-25 16:39:00
Middle East and North Africa	Geez Louise.	I'm thinking this lady has a lot of gaul to post here. Really, you think you are going to get sympathy from people who are trying to get here legally?! Well, hubby and I thank you for contributing to our long and difficult journey. I am glad some "jealous woman" snitched on you guys. You deserve whatever is coming to you.	tany1157	Female	Morocco	2012-02-27 16:31:00
Middle East and North Africa	Success!	Tany, were they correct that your husband had no idea of your previous spouse? Or know anything about him? no, they weren't correct. Hubby knew basics about him, when asked at the first interview, he said my ex is in my past, and it's my business whether I (the petitioner) want to talk about him or not. Hubby knows what he needs to know, which is my ex takes care of his son financially, and emotionally, and he knows the reasons we are not together. Other than that, we don't talk about him. I don't like to talk about him, and hubby doesn't really like to hear about him. He respects my ex as my son's father, and my hubby adores my son, so as long as we can all respect each other, then we are satisfied. Ex hubby is fine with current hubby, and vice versa. What's important is my son, and that he is loved and taken care of. Edited by tany1157, 01 March 2012 - 12:29 PM.	tany1157	Female	Morocco	2012-03-01 12:28:00

He gets the 10 year green card on arrival--next month!! After he passes ANOTHER interview of course This is what we need prayers for! I will be sick/nervous until he is in my house. By then, I will know it's real	tany1157	Female	Morocco	2012-02-29 20:43:00
Middle East and North Africa	Success!	I'm glad it was just this "#######", and not some secret life he had over there I trust my husband, and what's funny, is we figured it was this stuff anyways, so when we got the NOIR, we were relieved it was pretty much what we thought. We didn't know the "who talked about traveling first", but we knew we moved fast, we knew meeting online was a problem. And my mom actually suggested after his second denial that maybe he is talking too "matter of factly" about me, because this is the way he talks, so she thought he came across as emotionless. It's funny, because that was a problem too. You know what though, these denials, and the extra time apart has let us build a better foundation than we would have had 2 years ago at his first interview. It was a blessing in disguise God said it wasn't our time, and I'm hoping it is our time now!	tany1157	Female	Morocco	2012-02-29 20:25:00
Middle East and North Africa	Success!	Tany, can you tell us what the NOIR specifically asked for? -Beneficiary could not explain why he was looking for his second part online, instead of looking for a gf he could spend time with in person -The rapid movement of the relationship suggests the beneficiary was looking for the first person who would be willing to start a long term relationship with him -The beneficiary stated that it was the petitioners idea to come to morocco just a few weeks after they initially spoke online, but during the beneficiary's previous interview the officer's notes show that he brought up the idea for the petitioner to come to morocco. We were able to prove in our chat I was the one who said I should go see him first. This was a little detail you tend to forget after 2 1/2 years. -The beneficiary stated we fell in love when I came to visit, but our chats showed we were falling in love before the visit. The CO had misunderstood my hubby -The beneficiary knows nothing about the petitioner's previous spouse and could only speak in general terms when discussing his feelings for her. I had 36 references over the past 3 years where he stated more than just "I love you's." There was more, but thought a decent spread over the past three years was enough The rebuttle for this was 3 pages long. I had referenced proof for most of these points, and we answered everything with the truth. Hubby wrote a 4 page personal letter about us, I wrote a 3 page letter. Mom, dad, two sisters, my son and my older nephew wrote a letter. I sent three years of phone records, text message records, Skype, MSN, Google Voice, WhatsApp records. Proof of my 4 visits, Photos of each visit, wedding photos, emails, cards. I think this was it....I am hoping my experience can help others. There are people that I couldn't have done this without. I don't mind sharing this info, because it will help someone else. If your relationship is true, keep fighting for it. You need to be smart about this, but in the end, the truth will prevail.	tany1157	Female	Morocco	2012-02-29 20:08:00

Middle East and North Africa	USCIS customer service	I meant to say " remove conditions" not adjust status	tany1157	Female	Morocco	2012-03-13 11:57:00
Middle East and North Africa	USCIS customer service	Yesterday, I received a letter from USCIS requesting proof that my husband is eligible for his IR-1, not CR-1. His status at POE was CR-1, but should of been IR-1 because we have been married over two years prior to his POE. We were treated awful when calling USCIS customer service to inquire about having this correctly. The representative went as far to say that he was given a CR-1 status because they(Casa) did not completely feel that we had a true relationship and then hung up on me. I am just shocked that she had the nerve to misquote the law. Now what to do? wow, I have no advice, but am so sorry this is happening. #######?? The consulate/USCIS can circumvent the law just because they don't believe the relationship still, and now you have to essentially adjust status?? Is that even legal?!?	tany1157	Female	Morocco	2012-03-13 10:05:00
Middle East and North Africa	Think Really Hard Before Marrying Someone from MENA	Well if he just said that (you would suck as a mom) then she wouldn't have come here to talk about it (I would hope). Actually I'm not even sure why she shared what she shared. But now that she did share it, we're all going to talk about it. I think a comment I made around page 7 or 8 inspired it. I would not compromise the child thing, but that is just me. I do see the point that everyone is making. Even though I do agree with most of the points, I still have a hard time "jumping on the bandwagon" because I don't really know much else about them. I know they have been together a long time. Is it possible he has been just using her this whole time? I don't know. I know she made this public, and probably kicking herself now, but I do think everyone has gotten their point across. What she does with the info is her business. I just hope that whatever she decides to do, she doesn't do anything that will make her look back 30 years from now with regret.

Middle East and North Africa	Think Really Hard Before Marrying Someone from MENA	The thing that is saddest to me about this whole thing, is that she didn't decide to not have children. If you look at her previous post, she said he announced to her, after they had previously agreed on having children, that they would not be having children. Not only is it really sad, but it's actually grounds for annulment. I respect, and see your point. My son's aunt has been married for about 20 years now. She has a 23 year old step daughter, but when she met her husband, they both said they wanted no more kids, until I had my son 7 years ago. I found out that having my son around made her change her mind, she wanted a child, but her husband wouldn't budge on the issue. The difference of this story is, they both said they didn't want kids from the beginning, but I am comparing this story because my ex-SIL had changed her mind, and had to compromise with her husband, and in the end, they decided against having kids. I remember telling my ex how bad I felt for her, wanting to have a child, but her husband didn't. I couldn't make that sacrifice. I dated someone before my husband, who had 2 kids, and was done. I always wanted another child, but he was adamant that "God says that I shouldn't have anymore." Needless to say, that relationship didn't last, but there were also many, many, many other issues, we just didn't belong together. My SIL and her husband are still together, and I don't see an end in sight for them. She is also very close to my son. These are tough choices. I can't sit here and say for sure what is going on here, but I do know that they have been involved for a very long time, and nobody knows exactly what is going on but them. The women having an opinion here are more experienced than me when it comes to this topic, all I can say is what I know. My husband is turning 28 this year and he is dying to be a father. He lost his father about a year and a half ago, and ever since then, becoming a father has been more at the forefront than before. He always wanted kids, but now, he is ready, and so am I, as I am turning 31 this year. We didn't expect our journey to be so long, otherwise, we might have had a child by now. I wish nothing but the best for Olivia. Yes, she came on here and told her personal story, which she is probably regretting now, but it's done. In the end, she will do what she feels is right with the knowledge that she has. (((HUGS))) to her	tany1157	Female	Morocco	2012-03-13 09:52:00
Middle East and North Africa	Think Really Hard Before Marrying Someone from MENA	My grandparents emigrated when my mother was 12, and whilst my mother never had any adjustment issues my grandparents always kept their traditions even though they lived for another 60 years. I have been in the US for 7 years, and looking back it probably did take me a year to fully get used to things. But there are certain tenets that will never change, you are what you are. Probably a female thing to think that the man you marry is raw material to be moulded into what you want. That is just not the case. My guess here is that the attractions of coming to the US do not include religous/beliefs/culture so those thing will not alter. I'm a woman also, and never wish my husband to change....why the heck would I have married him if I wanted to change who he was Just like we shouldn't generalize that you should only be wary of marrying MENA men (you should be wary marrying anyone), people shouldn't generalize that every woman is a femenazi who wishes to emasculate their husbands.

Middle East and North Africa	Think Really Hard Before Marrying Someone from MENA	This morning my husband and I were looking at our wedding pictures. Oh how 10 years and two children can age you. This past year I turned 30 and he turned 40. A few weeks ago he said I looked 25 and I fell in love with him all over again lmao!!! What a doll! Glad to hear you are still happy together!	tany1157	Female	Morocco	2012-03-04 16:46:00
Middle East and North Africa	Think Really Hard Before Marrying Someone from MENA	Thanks for the prayers. I've said this on here and I'll say it again. I wouldn't convert unless it was out of the sincerity of my heart. I have to believe in something to be able to do it. I wouldn't convert just to have kids with the man I love. And I wouldn't have married him if I didn't believe it was love between us. I also believe people have the right to practice what they believe unless it is hurting someone else. So his religion is not an issue for me per say as much as my non-practicing of one of the three accepted religions is for him in regards to the care of my soul. He has said while children are very important that even if we couldn't have children he'd still rather have me then all the children in the world. I agree. I would NEVER convert to anything unless it was something I felt was necessary in my heart. I was adamant about converting as well. I told him if he expected me to ever convert, that he would be disappointed. Organized religion makes me crazy. I respect his religion, as he has shown me the beauty of it, but I could never see myself practicing it. I try to do good, and be good. It is important to both of us that we both believe in God, otherwise we wouldn't be together. I am happy to hear you will do what is in your heart. I know too many people who change things just for their SO. I say, if my husband wanted "this or that", then he should have married that. He married me, and he married me just the way I am, and I married him for who he is. And about the bolded comment...

Middle East and North Africa	Think Really Hard Before Marrying Someone from MENA	Part of his argument is that because he is a doctor and will be practicing here he won't get to see the children much under training during residency. That I will be responsible for teaching them their prayers and making sure that they can speak the language and at the time he pointed out I can't even speak the language so how would I know what they're saying. We knew this years ago but then when faced with the reality it hits home and things become more defined. I understand his point but I don't think it's fair to me because I'm part of this too and it's taken away something really important. He has said how you raise children in the MENA culture is one of the most important things parents will ever do. He takes it very seriously. He's very concerned about their souls and the hereafter. I didn't really understand that aspect of it before until recently when he started telling me how concerned he is for my soul. He cares about me very much and is so worried where I will go in the after life. He didn't talk like this before but I think since he's entered his 30's and is getting grey hairs and pulling grey hairs out of my head when he sees them he realizes we're aging. I mean we are growing old together. He relates it to me being worried about his driving. If I knew he was doing something risky like driving without a licenses wouldn't I worry about the consequences of that? I get his point and understand that because of his belief system he's worried about me not being religious and who I will answer to when I die and this is intensified by his love for me and caring about me and what happens to me. It comes from a good place and isn't a push for converting or forcing me to do anything against my will. I have my own beliefs but I have to wonder if I was a practicing christian would he still be as worried or would I see this more as a push for converting to his religion? Getting older does get you thinking about the after life. I had a dream about my own death when I was 20, and it scared the living you know what out of me. After 2 years, I realized that dream was destroying my life. I was so terrified of dying, that I wasn't living. I have since gotten over that. It doesn't mean that I don't still think about it, because I do. Especially now that I am a mom. Sometimes I look at my son, and will cry because I hope to never, ever experience his death in my life time. My husband understands I am really sensitive about this stuff, so he just reminds me that everyone will die eventually, but that is why it's so important to do good in this life. We are simple people, and pray that we can have a simple life. You will be in my prayers. Your husband sounds like he has good intentions, as do you. I hope life takes you where you want to be	tany1157	Female	Morocco	2012-03-04 15:44:00
Middle East and North Africa	Think Really Hard Before Marrying Someone from MENA	It's a multi-cultral marriage thing. In our case prior to him arriving here we agreed to have children and raise them Muslim even through I am not a Muslim. Then he got here and started going to the local Islamic center and seeing other multi-cultral marriages and how "the second generation" was growing up here. This changed his whole attitude about having children. He saw that some of them rarely went to visit the MENA parents home country and rarely spoke Arabic. This really bothered him. He then announced to me that we would not be having children because he didn't want to raise an "American teenager". That the only way we could have children is if we moved back to Egypt. With his career path as a doctor here it will be several years before we could do that and it would take me out of child rearing age. No matter what I couldn't and haven't convinced him otherwise. Even if I converted and learned the language. I have started learning to read and write and speak the language but I don't think I'll ever convert. I wasn't raised in organized religion and that is as natural to me as it is for him to go to jummah prayers. This kind of thing wasn't expected nor foreseen by either of us after years of discussing it and having a mutual understanding. It was heartbreaking to me and almost a deal breaker for us. I cried many tears over it. We went through a very difficult period during this time. Eventually I came to acceptance because we loved each other. I also felt he's only been here two years. I've read it can take up to as much as five years for them to adjust. This still gives us time and gives me hope. Plus right now we're not in any sort of financial position to raise children. So much goes into his studying and taking the medical exams and then his training during residency here that it may be several years before we're in a good position together to care for children. So we have time but that window is rapidly closing. I've accepted children may not be in the plan for us and started looking at what else life may have to offer with the extra disposable income. I've also accepted we'll eventually retire to live in Egypt so I'm very keen on watching and reading their news and learning what is developing there. Life can change though. There is a lot of time between then and now. Thank you for sharing your story. That must have been so hard on you two. It is nice to hear that you two have made it through that tough patch, because that is a big deal to decide to not have children after you thought you would. Hubby and I decided we would not raise our kids under any religion name, but to raise them with a faith in God. He was adamant about them speaking arabic, which I agreed with. Sometimes I do wonder if when that child is actually here, he will change his mind and want to raise them strictly Muslim. I am not opposed to that, as I am "labeled" a Christian, but really, I am not into organized religion. I just hope my child will at least believe in God, but even then, I can't control what my children will decide when they are adults. In the end, I hope that our love and respect will continue to grow with anything that life throws at us. Just have to take it one day at a time.	tany1157	Female	Morocco	2012-03-04 14:57:00
Middle East and North Africa	Think Really Hard Before Marrying Someone from MENA	I found that while establishing goals is good, things change. We had a long courtship and then a long visa process so we had loads of time to discuss life and how it was gonna be. Then they get here and the reality may not fit the perceptions. This may cause some adjustments in the relationship and some serious redefining those original goals. You are absolutely right. Even now, we have adjusted some since the beginning, and some ideas have changed (not the important, core ideas though). I imagine the same will happen when he gets here. Also, even though we have spoken up and down about child rearing, I am sure once a child is here, things may have to be adjusted. It's the mutual love, respect, and most of all, open-mindedness that have allowed us to grow. We were both pretty open minded from the beginning, otherwise, neither of us would be in this relationship. Eyes should be WIDE OPEN with any relationship, regardless of where it begins. Nobody deserves to be taken advantage of. I am the type that prays for the best, but prepares for the worst. I wish the OP good luck in her life	tany1157	Female	Morocco	2012-03-04 14:03:00
Middle East and North Africa	Think Really Hard Before Marrying Someone from MENA	When hubby and I were in the "getting to know you" phase, he let me know he wanted a child, if I didn't, then we wouldn't work. Thankfully, I've always wanted another child. During that phase, we both put out what we expected for our individual futures, and what we expected in a significant other. I'm just saying from my experience. They are very family oriented there. His mom has been waiting patiently for grand kids, but we have chosen to wait until he is here, and give us some adjustment time before we have a child. Thankfully everyone understands. In the end, it's a personal choice, and I don't feel comfortable saying "all" of them want kids, or big age differences are doomed.

Middle East and North Africa	Think Really Hard Before Marrying Someone from MENA	Dont do that! It was your place, like each one of us here to have a right to voice your opinion. You have been and still are going through enough to have your own opinion. And I agree with you that it is not just a MENA thing to deceive someone for a green card...but OP posted from her own experience and everyone should take heed just to read and learn. Whether or not it applies to them exactly or not. To the poster from Argentina...it is not right to assume women on here or that file for their partners are solely paying for the visa procedure, And no one has "knocked on my door" from America so that is why I found my love born else where. It asserts the assumption we searched outside of the country because we cant find someone here??? Knowing how important looks are to men in America and more importantly for respect to my husband, I intentionally dont post my photos online but... I assure you if I had a door there would be more than knocking. I like to think there is goodness in falling in love in unconventional ways. I did not choose him. I only prayed for happiness in life and God answered with this. I love my man and proudly he is a Moroccan. Yes, I am going through hell, but I haven't lived with the hubby yet, so in that sense I feel maybe I didn't have a right to comment. I respect that she had the guts to tell her story. And beauty for ashes, I don't know how you do it, but thanks for sharing your heartache too. The tone is so different than what I've read from you in the past. I can see the transition you spoke of. of course I think my man is genuine, we have been going through a nightmare just to be together, but in spite of that, we continue to grow as a couple. I feel we have a better foundation for the next steps in our relationship than we did 2 years ago at his first denial.

Middle East and North Africa	Think Really Hard Before Marrying Someone from MENA	Actually, let me say, it is a MENA warning - when I look at my friends who are married to MENA dudes, the only ones that seemed to have worked out are the ones where the couples are similar in age and are able to bear children. I only know of one couple on here that had an age difference but are still together. I remember Debbie and her posts, I thought she and her husband would make it - and here we are, another scammer. And yes, Americans get divorced all the time, however, some poor chick doesn't have to spend thousands of dollars on the front end to bring her dude over here. Please know, I'm not against immigration and foreign relationships. I have many friends with great relationships with their MENA dudes, but they are in an exclusive group. So yes, when it comes to those red flags take them seriously. Not every guy is an azzhole, but ask yourself this question: if you don't have men beating down your doors in the US, what makes you think they're going to beat down your doors from afar without something to benefit them? HAHAHA ain't that the truth! My point was that American men may not need a GC, but they are the ones who use their woman for money, or anything else they need. Users are everywhere, I just don't think it only pertains to MENA men.	tany1157	Female	Morocco	2012-02-27 16:25:00
Middle East and North Africa	Think Really Hard Before Marrying Someone from MENA	I feel so sad for you Thank you for sharing your story.

Middle East and North Africa	Is Direct Consular Filing (DCF) suspended at the American Embassy in Cairo?	CR1 is not only for those married over 2 years. That's the route we went and we were not married for 2+ years. Cr1 is what you file if you have been married less than 2 years. IR1 is if you are filing after being married for two years. If you file a CR1, but have been married for 2 years or more by the time of visa issuance, you will get an IR1, and will not have to remove conditions. Cr1 is a conditional green card.

Middle East and North Africa	Age difference	Do you know much about the US Consulate in Casablanca? Yea, I was just thinking people shouldn't be giving advice if they don't know what they are talking about. The prophet being married to an older woman has nothing to do with visa fraud in Morocco. Some countries, age isn't a red flag. In Morocco, older women marrying young Moroccan men is a big red flag. Why?? First it is not the social norm, second, most young men in their culture want children, yet they marry women past child bearing age. I am in no way saying they are all doomed to fail, but the ones that work are the exception, NOT the norm. Also, after what you asked me, I'm pretty positive something isn't right in your relationship. But if your woman, who sounds like she's on the rebound from JUST being divorced, is willing to believe what you say, then so be iit. But what she believes will have no effect on what the consulate will see, and what they think YOUR intentions are.

Get a few visits in before applying. and TELL YOUR FAMILY! You can overcome the age difference, if you play your cards right. Immigration will teach you patience. There is no quick way around it. Nobody wants to wait long to be with their loved ones, but we all have to wait, and wait....	tany1157	Female	Morocco	2012-03-18 16:05:00
Middle East and North Africa	Age difference	Age is a big red flag for Casa, but the family not knowing....that is a different story. Why would you get engaged to a woman and not tell your family? She didn't meet any of your family on your trip? Yes Jackie, the whole family could be in on the scam, but the family not knowing about her at all that is a HUGE red flag. I would do some extensive searching on this web site about Casa, and other couples going through Casa. How long have you known her? How soon after you met did she fly to see you? Where did you meet? Is she divorced? Does she have kids? This next statement is just my opinion....I know some older woman like younger men. I could see myself dating a 30 year old if I was 40 or 45. I am only 30 now, and would never date a 20 year old boy, because in my experience, 20 year old don't know what they want in life for the long term. Just my honest opinion	tany1157	Female	Morocco	2012-03-18 15:45:00
Middle East and North Africa	NOID APPROVED	OP, any updates on the 2nd interview and approval?? I know its been a long time but I still wanted to know. Thanks. You can find the answer to your questions if you look at her profile	tany1157	Female	Morocco	2012-03-21 15:11:00
Middle East and North Africa	Is there anyone lived my story	The same place where it says I am against Buddhists, Christians, Jews and anybody else I guess? I guess I tend to be sceptical about anybody too involved in a belief system, but that would include Treckies as well. Big Bang Theory excepted. wow, you must be a horrible person (sarcasm)...was just wondering why that came up in this topic	tany1157	Female	Morocco	2012-03-22 17:54:00

Middle East and North Africa	Is there anyone lived my story	You rather proved my point. I wish you a long and happy marriage. Boiler, can you help me out?? Where in your profile does it say you have something against Muslims and Islam? I kept looking and looking, but seem to be too stupid to find it??	tany1157	Female	Morocco	2012-03-22 15:20:00
Middle East and North Africa	Is there anyone lived my story	wow, I leave for a 10 hour shift, and three pages have accumulated! Farid, there is something wrong with you. I told you what will happen, but you refuse to listen. That is your business. Your attitude here speak volumes as to what type of person you are, and thank GOD I didn't marry one like you I had many relationships before my husband, and my husband had relationships before me, the difference is, immigration wasn't a factor in any of those. If I knew my husband had been petitioned before, I would have been way to skeptical to believe a damn thing he said, and that is because I am not a naive person. I am not saying every case means fraud when there is a previous petition, but I just wouldn't accept that. Other people can do what they want. I truly wish you good luck in your journey, as I wouldn't wish what I have been through on anyone. I hope you hear good news in the 10 days they told you to wait!!	tany1157	Female	Morocco	2012-03-22 14:58:00
Middle East and North Africa	Is there anyone lived my story	He keeps claiming he knows someone who got approved with his THIRD American fiance so he can't accept that his first relationship is a red flag for Casa. If my husband had previously been petitioned by an American before me, I wouldn't be with him, but that's just me	tany1157	Female	Morocco	2012-03-22 04:06:00
Middle East and North Africa	Is there anyone lived my story	I have been reading this entire post and enjoy all your comments. You people are really fantastic in trying to give Farid advice. And yes maybe Lisa can come on board and you guys can help her. I have learned the hard way not to ever give advice on how to obtain a visa as others don't think I know what I am doing. So I only stand from afar and applaud those who are alot more intelligent than I am in giving advice. This MENA forum is the best. Still awaiting Farid's oath ceremony. Wohoo Morocco here we come. I just you to pieces!! Congrats with almost being done with immigration!!!! I want to help people because I could not have gotten through what I did without the help of some pretty amazing people I have met on this board. I was and will always be grateful for the straightforward, no nonsense advice! Edited by tany1157, 21 March 2012 - 08:05 PM.	tany1157	Female	Morocco	2012-03-21 20:02:00
