Yeah, i agree...
Sounds more like the manager maneuvering to get the days he wants off... but not an issue of discrimination.

Thank you everyone, for your support... good.gif

You all made very good points... i have been trying to be aware of his fears in all this, but i don't think i've been doing a very good job of that... in reality, he must be terrified, and me being all sad lately mustn't help much... he is like a lot of men in that he doesn't show his emotions very well, and especially on the phone in front of family when he can't really talk, i guess i forgot to remind myself how scared he must be! blush.gif

PS-- there are girls with perfect and big boobs with nice hair ,pretty teeth, big eyelashes and giant lips... and tight pants/shirts at home. They always smell perfect and have a melodic laugh and have pretty nails. If he hasn't left you for them yet, then you're probably good here as well. smile.gif


i'm also feeling bad b/c i don't know if i mentioned it before, but since this all started a year a go, i've lost a lot of my hair... and it was okay for a while and now i'm losing it again and i feel so terribly ugly... and of course, i look around and see all these beautiful ladies dressed in their pretty summer digs! i really need to find a way to snap out of it... sad.gif

Salaam Everybody,
Hope everybody is well. i haven't been on much b/c my internet is not hooked up at home yet...

My habeeb is supposed to come very soon... like in 2 weeks. i've been so excited and really trying to pull everything together, until this week i kinda hit a wall. All of a sudden we aren't talking much (b/c he has been traveling around Morocco visiting family) and it feels weird. i'm afraid i'm making a bad choice by making him come here... what if he can't find a job? what if he hates it? what if he thinks all the girls with big boobs and perfect hair are way prettier than me, and i lose him to some hottie? what if i become the old ball & chain?

We've been waiting for this for sooooooooo long, why am i feeling so down lately? Are these feelings normal?

Wow... this thread really took off in an unexpected direction. unsure.gif

Well-said, S and S. good.gif

i think the emotions are running high because this sort of thing could happen to any one of us or to any one of our families. and it is this constant lack of control and accountability that makes this whole immigration process nerve-wracking. as for being deported or ER or whatever you want to call it, i cannot even begin to imagine how devastating that would be... whether it be because of a technicality or much worse, an unjust/uninformed mistake on DHS's part... and then to be left without immediate information or recourse as to why? Devastating.

Anyway, you have a lot of friends here, Allousa, and it sounds like you are doing all the right things in terms of acquiring legal cousel, etc... Inchallah, you will have some insight as to what the heck happened and soon..... rose.gif rose.gif

continue to use what would be the most PERMANENT address for the mail...a person could move anytime they know this, i would get thru the interview, see if there is to be a wait period for checks and if she is in different location for a long time she can then change. If living is ask about in interview you can say yes she is in process of moving into her own place



i agree with Brnidokiegurl, Ahmed.
in fact the same thing happened with us during the K1. i did not even have an address because i moved every few months and only now do i have a new address. i used my parents' permanent address for everything. just memorize the address used on the documents you sent in with your I-129F, and you should be fine. if they ask any further questions, you can say that your fiancee recently moved and give the new address.

So sorry to hear you are having such a problem with the ladies! That sounds terrible! And you are sure it is their attitude and not the result of some language barrier or something like this? You could maybe go to the mosque and talk to the imam if you are interested in learning more and surely he could put you in touch with some well-meaning women?

It's the attitude since the majority of the woman speak english. It's an "I'm better than you" attitude. My husband has even mentioned it.

Yes, it makes sense, no one would say you definitely would not but I would be surprised if many looked at Islam without this incentive.

Are you saying personally that you were attracted to the muslim culture anyway and that this is probably why you ended up with a muslim husband in your particular case?

I am just curious about this, feel free to not answer if it bothers you.

I don't think people change religion all the time at all, in fact I believe it is quite rare to change. It is not rare to lapse however, not rare at all.


Ooops, sorry... were you addressing me?

i first became interested in Islam several years ago while living in Senegal. no boyfriends, no men, no husbands, just being around the culture and practice got me interested in the religion and how the culture was influenced by it and vice-versa... that and the beauty of it.

Maybe people don't officially "convert" all the time, but i know a lot of people who define themselves as "spirtitual"... and kind of abandon the faith they were raised with and incorporate aspects of new faiths... of course, you are right... that's different from "converting".

That's not what I meant. Can you honstly say you would have looked at the idea of becoming a muslim if you hadn't found love with someone of that faith?


Of course it's possible... people change religion all the time, i believe. Look at the growing numbers of people who identify themselves as Buddhists in the US. It happens when people are searching for something, be they influenced by someone close to them, an experience they've had, or because they do a lot of reading and research and find what appeals to them on different levels. Islam isn't so far off the center page. We hear about Islam all the time in the media and on tv, so it's not like it is a religion with limited exposure or exclusivity. And it is also a very welcoming religion, so it is not surprising that it is the fastest-growing religion in the world...

People change for all sorts of reasons...

Back to the topic now, many do have hard times adjusting. My husband has compared the US to Morocco many times. I don't let it bug me because he is just homesick. And he has stated many time how much better Moroccan women are than American women. Then the next sentence he tells me that Moroccan women are mean little bioches. It's just his mood and I usually blow it off.

Now for telling you that you look average. I can understand how that made you feel. I have always been very good at keeping up my hair and makeup so that I look nice. But last spring we started a major project in our home and this went on for 9 months. I found myself getting up early every weekend to work on the project, not bothering with my hair and makeup. Lets just say I didn't look the same as normal. He did mention that he wish I would put more effort back on my looks, at which I replied "fine, then I will let you finish this yourself while I make myself pretty". Let's just say, point taken.

We don't exchange gifts and that's just fine by me. If either of us needs something, we will buy it for ourselves or for each other, and we don't have to wait for a specific day. I'm also not a fan of flowers/chocolates/symbolic gifts anyway.

I do insist that we budget for birthday and Xmas gifts for my young siblings and cousins. But my personal feeling is that there are just too many adults and too many potential gifts - it can get OTT. We'll get gifts for lots of people if we come back from Morocco, or vice versa for his family. But to do birthdays and Xmas or other holiday gifts for everyone? I don't know how people afford it!

Dear Nutty,
so sorry to hear about your rough patch. as you know, my hubbie is not here yet, so i can only offer you my happy thoughts...

just some things to keep in mind, that a lot of time all men are clueless as to what we'd like to hear... and when translation comes into play it's a whole other bag of worms. he might have said, "average" but he might have meant that your as pretty as the prettiest girl out there! or something to that effect!

as for your b-day... that is a bummer, but if it is any consolation, a lot of times i have to straight up tell my hubbie what to buy me, because he's a little new at this relationship stuff. blush.gif he is also terrible at remembering b-days and anniversaries, i think b/c his family doesn't maintain that kind of custom. most of them don't even know when they were born exactly! maybe it is similar where your hubbie is from?

this is all to say, hang in there!

you are beautiful and you will be alright! rose.gif rose.gif rose.gif

Dear Ahmed,

i believe the cost of the translations is different depending on each document. i'm sorry i can't remember what we paid, but it was expensive in Rabat. it took us about 4 or 5 days to get everything translated. bring all of your documents at once because the more you have, the more you can negotiate the price. also, please make sure your translator is asermonte so the translations will be official. what city are you living in?

Sincerly Ahmed .



Yaaaaaaayy Ahmed! good.gif Congratulations... so glad to hear you got your interview date. Alhamdulilah. Things are moving.

Please have your fiancee send you all the proofs via FedEx or DHL immediately. (i never used UPS in Morocco, so i don't know about them) You are going to need those documents.

And please make the appointment with Dr. Khadija immediately. My husband said the receptionist was very helpful. They do these appointments all the time and the receptionist will ask you the date of your interview and then set up an appointment for your medical. The telephone number should be with the packet. i don't remember how much the appointment cost... i think in total (transportation from Rabat & taxi included) came to 1,000 dirhams or around that. Yes, you ask for a copy of the vaccination record and they also gave my husband a copy of his chest x-ray. The rest gets sent directly to the consulate.

The visa cost $131 American dollars, i believe... i'm sorry i don't know the dirham equivalent because the exchange rate keeps changing. You can pay it at the consulate in either dollars or dirhams.

My husband (fiance) wore his ring at the interview; however, we were very lucky and our interview went smoothly. i agree with Polarbear that it could raise questions. There is a list of questions to practice here in the forum, i will try to look for the link and find it for you.

Good luck! Inchallah tout se passe bien!

yes, i agree.
taking the time he needs is ideal... plus Ramadan is really important, and depending on where you live, there might not be much community support for him during that time. it is a good time to spend with family and friends, before he sets sail for his new life and adventure.

should be a round trip ticket, i know you are talking about traveling from Egypt to USA, but same here they said to me i have to buy a round trip ticket, am using visa K1, so i did because i dont want no problemes, and am leaving sunday Insha Allah to Chicago


Salaam Sunrise,

Really? You bought a round-trip? What airline are you flying? I called RoyalAir Maroc, and they told me a one-way was fine for a K1 visa?

Maybe you heard something different? Please let me know because i need to buy a ticket for my fiance soon, inchallah... and the round-trips are VERY expensive these days.

Thanks!

I know what you mean. One time I was crying to myself during the day when not talking to my husband so he wouldn't know I was so sad. What does he do? Call me and he could hear by my voice that I was upset. Then he yelled at me for crying. I tell him he should comfort me and he doesn't get it. I'm trying to find a way to explain why sometimes we just need to hear "everything will be alright" from our spouses, whether it will be or not.


awww... hang in there S and S.
i know it's a long wait, and inchallah you'll be together soon...

sometimes i just tell Habibi exactly what i need him to say... sure, that may be cheating, if you have to coach them.

but he is getting the hang of saying the right thing at the right time now blush.gif
