Middle East and North Africa	The Saga Continues.....	drama drama you know what i bet God is just disgusted at how people on this earth are blowing each other up and killing over religion ... and doing it in his name... you know i think if i make it to heaven i will find christians, muslims, and jews there. cos God is a loving God he doesnt want to condemn his people, he looks into a persons heart. i have found good decent Godly people in all 3 of the religions.

Middle East and North Africa	White Knuckles...	AWWWWWWWWWWWWW that is wonderful! Amy, I wish we could both afford to go there and meet them and fly back with them, all 4 of us! Wow that would be a WONDERFUL trip! Dreams dreams dreams. I'm so relieved to be home from work. Now I can cry... and I need it bad. Guys, I don't like to put too much of my "stuff" out there anymore but the pressure and stress on us as a couple has been crushing lately. I promised him I wouldn't discuss his private stuff but just trust its almost been too much for any human to bear. We have been having some really horrible fights... over nothing at all. he's stretched to his limits emotionally and so am I. Right about the time we decide to thrown in the towel out of pure frustration... we realize what we are doing and cry together. No frigging human being should have to endure this kind pressure. We don't even mean to fight! It's just all this pent up frustration, fear, sense of no control, loneliness, and mega family crud etc... my only support system is you guys and his only support system is ME. Anyway, last night we really had a doozy... he refused to hang up until it was over so I was up into the wee hours. We settled things, but you know, without a hug or at least seeing his face I just can't regain my sense of comfort after these. I slept off and on with that horrible sick feeling, then woke up to find that email. It's really just left me in a weird conflicted zone. Don't misunderstand me, I'm THRILLED. God knows when he'll have it hand, but at least I know something is happening. I've just been handling a very bizarre brew of emotions today. Here is the link to the dress. It's the one I hope to get. http://www.islamicbo...dding_abaya.asp Maybe I shall suck my thumb... AWWWWWWWWWWWW its ok just hang in there ... samir and i fight too and dont even mean to. after all this is over just think .. we will appreciate our relationships more because we know what we have had to go through to be together. Guys, it's weird, but I'm just numb. I should be bouncing but just too wary until I know TNT knocked on his door. Ironically, I found the wedding dress I want to wear and showed it to Moh last night. He went crazy. LOL Jean! Makes you want to puke don't it! I haven't ate hardly a thing in 2 days wondering if this is really it. Made myself break out in hives It's our turn, it's our turn, its' our turn! Shoot....lets get the boys on the same plane to us! amerlu.. you are in my prayers too girl.. i know that this has been so difficult for you too... you have been waiting so long. let us know what happens	samir_shannon	Female	Algeria	2006-07-25 20:26:00

Middle East and North Africa	Wednesday already???	time is going by so fast....... i found out yesterday that our petition was approved. i called samir and told him to gather his family and put it on speakerphone... thy couldnt understand me but, they could tell i was so excited. i was our petition has been approved and now we can go to the next step in the process. he explained to his family and they were so happy. this has been such a struggle for all of us. in the end i am sure our marriages will last because we can appreciate each other more knowing everything we all had to go thru to be together. i pray all of us are out of our misery soon. In Egypt its like a sport for everyone to say "Oh, you'll never get a visa to America... you're just dreaming." I can't wait till our boys can say IN YOUR FACE to these people. Khallid hears the same thing every day. It's been 4 working days in the embassy now. Six working days to go??? Please, please! Less would be better though! I'm so glad this week is almost over, means we are just a little closer to touching are men again. Work is pretry crazy these days. Guess that's what I get for being an allergy nurse eh? I've heard enough sneezing, coughing and snorting to last me a lifetime! LOL Hope everyone has a great day! aymerlu i pray things work out for you! you deserve it with all the waiting. have faith so you are an allergy nurse? i am in school right now taking my prerequisites for my nursing degree. are you an LPN or an RN? Amy and Jean, you guys deserve to get good news soon. I so hope you are next. I am praying for you, my friends. I am finally moved, Alhamdulillah. I am exausted. You cant even walk in the house. I've got to start arranging furniture and emptying boxes. Still dont know when Hachemi is coming. He is hoping to have the money for the ticket by the end of the week. He begged me to come back to Algeria this past March. I told him if i come, I will be spending the money I had for his ticket. He said come, I will worry about the ticket to the USA. So it is up to him now. His brothers that are doctors promised to help him and his friends. Hopefully he will be here soon. His brother Foudil is having an engagement party Thursday so all the family will be home. Hope everyone has a good day. Meriem meriam , you know i am praying for ya girl	samir_shannon	Female	Algeria	2006-07-26 13:31:00

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	I-751 filing information and costs for green card renewals	Hello Everyone. I have a couple of questions about the start of the green card renwal process.   My husband has to start his process in April as his (2) years are up in July 2014. I am trying to organize myself and all of his papers for all of this.   The USCIS website has changed so much. I cannot find any information on the actual costs for filing all of these processes this time. I think I have to start with the I-751 form first but have not found anything about how much all of this is going to cost from the beginning to the end. If any of you out there can give some kind of idea, it would be greatly appreciated.   1) does anyone know the costs involved this time?   2) can someone point me to the prcess of going through all of this?   Thanks for all of your time and consideration in this matter.

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	1st NOA since biometrics	Hi, We had our biomterics appointment on June 3, 2014 and I still have yet to receive anything.   His visa expired on July 18, 2014, last Friday. Now I am really starting to worry.   When I call USCIS it just states to expect to be receiving something in the mail, nothing more.   I sent several joint account items, as well as my checking / savings account with a selection of dates for the past 2 years which refelected since he got here.

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	I-751 April 2014 Filers	Thank you for all of your replies and suggestions.   He went to get his driver license renewed yesterday and they asked him for his most recent I-797 form.   He did not have it yesterday, so he took it with him today and was able to get his license renewed.   Funny how none of the other papers showing his legal residency, such as our house deed did not matter nor his social security card, just the I-797.   Thanks.

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	I-751 April 2014 Filers	sorry let me re-phrase here as I must have been half asleep earlier:   I am NOW VERY WORRIED because his drivers license and green card have expried as of July 18th, 2014. He cannot get his driver license renewed with out his green card, so this is also a big problem. I have checked to see if he can get a temporary license and they stated he has to have a new green card to show his residency status and that the SSN is not enough.   What a mess!   Any suggestions at this time would be most helpful?

Removing Conditions on Residency General Discussion	I-751 April 2014 Filers	I filed for my husband who is from Jordan -  Removing conditions on residency on the following date:   CIS Office : Vermont Service Center Date Filed : 2014-04-26 NOA Date : 2014-04-29 RFE(s) :   None Bio. Appt. : 2014-06-03   The problem now is that after the Biometrics appointment that we had on June 3rd, 2014, we hqve not received anything form the USCIS, no Requests for actions. When I call to check the status, it only states we are to receive their decision by mail.   I am not very worried because his drivers license and green card have expried as of July 18th, 2014. He cannot get his driver license renewed with out his green card, so this is also a big problem. I have checked to see if he can get a temporary license and they stated he has to have a new green card to show his residency status and that the SSN is not enough.   What a mess!   Any suggestions at this time would be most helpful?
