Middle East and North AfricaThe ME/NA Welcome to America Thread

Hi Everyone, Zaeem arrived about a month ago, we are doing great!!!! We were married and now we have finally rec'd our certified marriage certificate in the mail. We are now starting to get our AOS documents together to file. Now on to more paperwork, but I am just so happy my sweetie is home with me now, after one whole year of being apart.



Congrats on your marriage! :dance:

Middle East and North AfricaA Broken Journey

I may have been wrong in stating we have a 'muslim' marriage. But since I'm not Jewish or another religion, I can only speak from our experience. I know all marriages go into it for the long haul, I was just stating that in OUR case, it is forever. I wish I could say that IF he did this I would leave, not so sure. So go ahead and pick apart my words, I know what I meant, and according to the many PM's I have gotten from online friends here, they get it too.

It is a damn shame that Jean was strong enough to come here and reach out to the few people that might understand. And for her thread to go bad, really upsets me. But bullies will be bullies.

Not sure who I am quoting but here goes: To have a friend you must BE a friend. Thank you to all my buddies here on VJ.

you were not wrong to say you have a muslim marriage nor were you wrong in anything else you said. i find it extremely sad that at a time like this some must bicker and quibble about something trivial rather than unite and give her support and understanding.

I agree, like with anything in life there is more than one solution and the challenge is to find the right solution for yourself. I don't think that when a woman opts to try to work things out with her husband after being abused she loves herself any less than a woman that gets out of the relationship right away. I think that with some professional help things can be turned around in certain cases. I believe the decision on what do to is extremely difficult and will be driven by many factors of the abuseds life. We're not here to judge or pick apart people's attempts to help.

Middle East and North Africahardest parts of adjusting for mena peeps

I found all of the halal store locations before he came so it would be easy to find the things he likes. We can also get the Mid East satelite from the same merchants that run the halal store. So we'll be getting the arab tv stations soon. He thinks it's so strange to see Animal Hospitals on every corner here.


That's funny, Hassan actually is working at an animal hospital now, and when he told his friends and family they all cracked up over it. Adjustments...hmmm I think the employment, the taxes get him, also he found a big difference in peoples care for one another, if someone gets sick there the whole neighborhood will come to check on you, here you get at best a phone call, if anything at all. He adjusted to the food just fine...gained a few pounds lol.

Middle East and North AfricaWaiting

The fees will go up at the end of July. Can I file before then even though my six months waiting period to remarry is not up until August? If we apply July or August 07, when will he be able to come to the USA? He has heard 3 years. He is in Morocco.



With the petition you will have to send a fiance letter of intent, where you state that you are eligible and free to marry. So I think the answer to your question would be no. The time how long it takes can greatly vary, it depends on alot of factors, where you live, how long he will be in security checks, and other things not predictable. We filed late June 06 and had the visa in Dec 06 so roughly 6 months, that's on a fiance visa.
Hope this helps a little.
