Middle East and North Africa	HEY MENA	I just want to say how bad I feel for all the people who are having health issues. It makes me wonder how much the stress of this process plays a part in all the physical issues that are happening here lately? I hope everyone starts feeling better very soon.

Well I do and although I don't post that much it seems like this forum is not for everyone. Sorry but I do feel this way. Don't feel bad Jeanne, I know how you feel. Not many here respond to my post either but there are more than enough people on here that truly care about ALL of us and truly care about our journey as well. You just have to be patient and open yourself up to them. I am sorry if I do not respond to you but I really do not say much anymore because I do not like to get caught up in the negative stuff that happens sometimes. Feel free to PM me!

Do you all have me on ignore? lol I have *everyone* on "ignore" My suggestions would be: have any documentation that may come in handy later translated (diplomas, certifications, birth certificate, vaccinations, passport, DL, anything like that). Also bring any creature comforts from home that he may either not find or have a hard time finding here. We get shipments of spices & tea b/c they're just not the same here - even from the Int'l store. Good luck! Thanks woman!

I had asked akram to get his birth certificate translated into english , but that's about it, cause I have no idea what other papers he would need to bring here. I went to the site where it gives instructions on Adjustment of Status and I closed the page after I saw the fee . I'll take another peek at that whenever he gets his visa insha Allah. I hope someone who's dealt with this answers your question. I think maybe "water" would know or "polar". Insha Allah someone who knows the answer will read your question and be able to answer it.

Thank you!!!!!!!!! Sandy, were you able to track the sloooooooooooooooooooooow mail progress via the DHL number?

Middle East and North Africa	Double Standards	The homosexual issue is a big issue with him as well. As far as dress, I try to be modest.....short sleeves but not tank tops....no shorts.....and no low cut shirts/blouses. When I was in Egypt the first time, I had a blouse on that was cut a little low but I wore a cami on under but still when we were in the cafe some man came by and took a peek at my girls. My honey was like, "See, do you like that man looking at you?"......So I try to be a concious to the modesty thing.	SandyNJack	Not Telling	Egypt	2008-03-26 16:15:00
Middle East and North Africa	Double Standards	My honey is not Muslim but he does have some of the same requests: He would not like for me to have male friends other than those we will know together. No going out with only a man, even if just a friend. He does not want a man to hug or kiss me except for family. I am sure if I talked to or looked at a man when we were out would bother him. When ever I tell him I am going some where he likes to know where I am going andwho I am going with. All these things he asks of me he asks from himself as well. He tells me he does not need to look to or talk to other women because he has already found the woman he wants, ME!	SandyNJack	Not Telling	Egypt	2008-03-26 13:32:00
