IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresVisiting the U.S. during the I-130 process
One thought: If you fly out of Vancouver or Toronto, you have to pass through US Immigration before leaving Canada. Someone with more information can proably elaborate on this but I read somewhere that if you're refused entry, since you're not on American soil you can withdraw your intent to enter the US, and therefore won't receive an official denial (though they may note on your file that you tried to enter and were refused). Comments, anyone?

We sent ours to the TSC on Feb 9 and the cheque was cashed yesterday, so you might still have a couple of days to wait. :)

:thumbs: That's what I thought. I was going to get a job in my (then-boyfriend's, now) husband's city using the TN, but decided against it because it sounded too complicated to possibly have to prove -later on down the road- that I didn't get it with the intent ultimately immigrating.

Thanks for the clarification. :)

I was just suggesting that I might consider applying for a TN if it meant I could officially live & work in the US faster, but I don't think they'll issue one after you've filed for CR-1 or K3, because that would show your intent to immigrate. (Kinda like they won't usually issue a visitor's visa [or let you into the US as a visitor] if they know you're planning to stay permanently.)

I hope that makes sense. :blush:

TN info

How Long Can I Stay?

The maximum period of admission into the U.S is one year. The US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) grants extensions of stay in time amounts of one year. There is no limit on the number of years a TN visa holder can stay in the United States. However, the TN visa status is not for permanent residence.


(I do the same if I thought it would work.) :)

It's my understanding that you can't get a TN if you're planning on remaining in the US permanently (as would be indicated by your filing the IR-1).

Not that it's any of my business, but where did she say she was ready to toss her marriage in the trash? I read the whole thread last night & don't recall reading that. :unsure:

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresUPDATE TO THE MISSING INFORMATION RECORDING
Oh thanks, Wench! You're a sweetheart. I'm sure I saw that at some point in the past but completely forgot about it until you posted it. :blush: I've been so busy with work (to the point that my head's spinning) that when we received our case number last week I tried to get my husband rush down to the post office to mail everything that day. Luckily he couldn't make it (which annoyed me!) and in the meantime I remembered that we're not supposed to send in the forms until they're generated. :lol:

I'm going to be one of those people who uses James's shortcuts who probably shouldn't. :lol: Luckily my husband's much more level-headed than I am. :blush:
girl 37FemaleCanada2006-06-03 16:35:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresUPDATE TO THE MISSING INFORMATION RECORDING

You could send out the DS-230 with a copy of the letter/checklist stating they need the DS-230. Afterall, that letter states they want you to submit the "missing" forms/fees.

But, but, but... you have to know what other documents, if any, need to be submitted with the DS-230. The requirements differ sometimes from one country to another. For example, Canadian CR-1 applicants need to submit certified copies of birth and marriage certificates and the police clearances. With some countries, they don't need to mail these in with the DS-230. They just bring it with them to the interview. I don't know what they need for applicants from India.

Good luck!

Oh! Thanks for the heads-up. :thumbs: I didn't realize I (my husband-agent!) was going to have to send in the police clearance in advance.

Middle East and North Africafeelings about revenge and deportation when things dont work out
My two cents worth--We have been married a year, had many things to adjust to, including age, culture, his adjustment problems, his temper, etc. BUT we have said that the big thing is---if either of us starts chatting online to another or something else seen as cheating, that's it, boy. No further chances.

Believe me, ladies, you will have things to contend with when you marry a guy from another culture and age, but we have kept on chugging along. Sometimes I thought that was the end, but we are still trying to make our marriage work. If the end comes.....

Then, all you can tell yourself, is consider pitying the next poor slob that has to put up with his #######.

Hope all is going well with you other people on here....hi Jackie!!! from down south

I got this idea from the Monday thread.

I know we have a few new member and some old ones that people may not know much about.
So to get to know everyone I thought it would be a good idea if everyone gave their first names and what they do for a living......

Here goes.


I'm Amanda and I work for an airline.



Hi yall--I'm Debbie and I am a LONGTIME special ed teacher for elementary age kids. I still love my job after all these years. My hubby is a tailor currently working for a company that makes custom suits. We are very concerned because of all the companies shutting down around here.

In any religion where ADAM came first and yada. The men are in charge of household , community and when married have final say in all matters. EVen with Muhammed swt. to deny this is to be deluded take a realistic approach. not saying good not saying bad, its just the way it is. If you develop and society where woman takes over headship completely look what happens, first off the husband gets more and more dishearted and feeling inadequate (sound familiar) he might start picking figths petty to gain some control and manhood or he may seek outside of relationship or look for homegirl to meet his needs for validationl. The wife who takes chargeoften feels alone isolated and not being coddled ie emotional needs not being met. they turn cold and bitter. the sons have identity crisis and turn gay. and daughters turn into big mouth annoying demanding hos and bull dykes. So be in charge and treat your man like the underling little boy . And think next time y ou think its fraud or he being cold or a fraud. The whole set up marriage could be a fraud of universal nature and balance.. Islam is submissin to ALLAH and service to him and others. Many DO not know thier place because Pride gets in thier way.!!

Middle East and North AfricaCASABLANCA INTERVIEW advice...
QUOTE (chrisc85 @ Jun 14 2009, 09:32 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Hey guys,

I was just looking for some advice from anyone who has gone through the interview process at the Casablanca consulate in Morocco. I've heard horror stories about it so I just wanted to know what my fiancee should be prepared for.

A couple of things that I am hoping will help our case is 1) that we met in person - I was studying abroad and we met at the same university. So, it's not like I just met her online or anything which could possibly be considered sketchy. Plus, 2) she is a girl, and I heard that they go a little easier on girls than guys. Also, 3) she was an English major, and has been speaking English since she was growing up in Jordan, so she is basically fluent, and language won't be a problem. How much do you think these factors will help our case, if at all?

We have photos, passport stamps, transcripts, her school ID card, and a certificate of completion on my part to prove we were together at the same university (within 2 years) and emails, a couple letters, a couple MSN convos and lots of phone bills to prove we have an ongoing relationship.

She also teaches at a cooking school where she lives and she's met people who work at the consulate in the visa department there (they've taken cooking classes with her) so it'd be nice if the person interviewing her already met her in her cooking class!! hahah

Just looking for any heads up though and advice about what could help and what to expect for her interview. Thanks.

Chris


This is my best advice: Just tell her to be truthful as to how she feel about you. Have all your paperwork, photos, etc in order and have her take it with her cuz they may ask to see pics or not, ya never know with casa. Have her take a friend with her to hold her phone or purse at a nearby cafe or somewhere to wait as your fiance can't take it in with her plus she will need moral support. Go over all the possible questions listed here on VJ and make sure she knows your history, relatives, etc. Be prepared to answer any questions they may have about red flags, such as age, length of knowing each other, whatever. It seems they often like to throw in a few "testy" questions and see how the person will react. Just answer the questions without offering lots of extra info. And last, don't panic. They will give her a paper at the end of the interview. If it says they are looking into your name or whatever in Washington, that usually means you will probably have good luck. If they say they are going to send your papers back to the USA, that's not usually good. If so, you need to try to stop them from leaving casa through phone calls, emails, etc. You can get more advice from others. I wish you luck. good.gif

That reminded me of how my husband used to wash his dishes with Tide in Morocco. Tee hee.
Do Egyptians do the same thing?


I had forgotten all about that Tide thing, heck the dishes, anything can be done with Tide there. I don't think there is another type of detergent in the whole country!!! whistling.gif

Petitions Returned to the United States

More and more this is how Morocco is handling visa petitions, and it does not matter the amount of proof of relationship you provide. We need a central place to review/share extremely important information to help ourselves and others going through this issue. Possibly even prevent this from happening to others in the future.

I will gladly create a legible, credible, and searchable compilation of all immigration guidelines surrounding petition return/revocation, research, etc. if VJ would commit to pinning this issue for us. Even if it is only in the ME/NA forum...PIN IT PLEASE?????

Some countries are just very hard to get visas approved from. You will survive and you will eventually be together , just a slow path than you have planned. We were denied the first time and made it though the second time as have many others


Thank u for the encouragement. I hope it goes through the second time. I also hope it doesn't take a long time. We would like to get married before I start getting retirement. Ha ha

Middle East and North Africa221 G
My fiance went for his interview this morning in Casablanca, Morocco. He was asked a bunch of questions about my daughter and the lady was frustrated because he could not tell her the name of my daughters last boyfriend. She barely looked at the pictures he provided and would not look at any other proof of our relationship. He was given a form 221G. I contacted the consulate and the lady told me that she cannot give me a reason for the denial of visa. I then sent an email asking for a reason and they just told me that I would have to contact USCIS in 8 to 10 weeks. Has anyone ever gone through this before and is there anything that I can do? I just feel so lost right now!

Middle East and North AfricaContinuation of "it's not been a bed of roses."
Not sure what's available in your area or whether you've already looked into it but back in Vancouver (Canada) I had a couple of immigrant friends that took advantage of government-sponsered low-cost / no cost services for new immigrants to improve their English (a series of increasingly challenging language classes) and work on their job-finding skills (e.g., putting together a resume, writing cover letters, doing mock interviews, etc.). Both friends benefited from the programs and met other people that were in similar situations there, though I must admit their cover letters still needed some tweaking. whistling.gif

Good luck and welcome to the "waiting game:! I've been playing it much longer and it's no fun at all! Nothing I've done seem to make any difference to our case. I think, they're just waiting for us to give up, but I'm still playing!

(We have an age difference a few years less than yours) and i am really fed up with Casa, but can't do anything about it, just wait and b$#@%^ from time to time. :girlwerewolf2xn: :diablo: :cry:



Hi--Could I ask you what happened at your second interview? Did they look at evidence you had accumulated since the first time? What kind of questions did they ask on the second interview--were they different from the first? Just wondering, preparing for the future. Thanks for any info, Debbie (and Hamid)

Middle East and North Africa'100 Days In America'

In celebration of my husband being here in America with me for 100 days, we went to see the play 'Wicked' yesterday. It was absolutely wicked. It involved what many good books, good plays, or good films are about. The play acts included betrayal, adultery, manipulation, and lies. On a good note, it included in the acts: love, loyalty, kindness, forgiveness, acceptance, and decency. He enjoyed his surprise!

Wicked had elaborate costumes and scenes. The music was fantastic. The characters were witty. We loved it. To top it all of, after the performance, my husband and I found ourselves right outside the channel 7 evening news broadcast. We were on TV. We are at the very end of the television broadcast.

We had a great evening. I do not know how today could be better for our celebration, but this evening we are going to Benihanas. This is also a surprise. Tomorrow a small party (it will actually be 100 days Saturday) with cake and ice cream.

My husband and I have enjoyed each other. We are glad we were able to get our visa case approved. My husband is not like what has been mentioned about MENA men on VJ. He is hard working, helpful, caring, loving, kind, and considerate (for the most part, he he). He works, cooks, cleans, does yard work, washes the car, goes for walks with me, is affectionate, etc. He does not think badly about American women, but a lot of Moroccan men here in Chicago do. They have discussed their views about this very subject to him. We are all drunken party hoes that only want sex. LOL! And I do not even go to parties or drink.

I pray to God that I will be able to post about my husbands '1000 Days In America-Our Life Together' in 30 months. On that note, good luck to everyone going through the visa process (the easy part) and to everyone that is already building a life with your MENA husband in America (the hard part). I'm Out!


It sounds as if you will be fine for a good long time, hopefully forever!!!! On a personal note, could I ask what your hubby said when asked why he loved you??? As far as, how detailed he got, etc. Just wanna compare notes. Also, how long had you known each other? Any red flags??? I am so jealous that you have your man with you--lol. Maybe someday soon for the rest of us. Glad you are doing so well. He sounds wonderful!!! Debbie

Middle East and North AfricaLong distance relationship jealousy

Moh and I were looking at my old photos one day and he came upon a prom photo of me with my first bf. Mind you this photo was taken in like 1988 so the hair and clothing styles were pretty lame back then. Moh didn't really get jealous of the photos but he will occasionally rip on me about them (not about my photo but about the bf's). Once in awhile he'll just say..."Steve" and make a face.




I have to say that I know I will be jealous when Hamid gets here. Of course, a blonde gorgeous single woman had to move in next door this week. He is so cute that I know the women here will be after him, plus his being younger doesn't help. But he said when I was there he wishes he was my age...lol. He worries that I will dump him for an older guy. I am just trying to look at it as I hope our relationship will last forever, but I can't worry myself to death all the time. Seems like Moroccan men treat women better than American men anyway. BUT I have also heard they become Americanized fast (damn it).... :(

Hamid is jealous cuz he knows I talk(ed) to other guys, but not any more. He is soooo funny when I am in Morocco. The men there don't mind giving you the once over (or twice over) with their eyes. And there seems to be a lax attitude toward trying to make off with someone else's girlfriend, so Hamid is not real trusting of some of his friends. Of course, this might have to do with the fact that he was royally screwed over by his ex gf when he caught her in the act with his best friend. (Hope he never reads this.) He sees the way the American (and other) women dress in Marrakech (tourists), but I know he will be in culture shock when he gets here and sees how everything is so sexually oriented and such. I just tell him that if he messes around on me or anything, I will kick his ###!!! :P

But as far as I know, he doesn't talk to other women. He calls it "giving somebody else my time". We agreed that avoiding getting into intimate situations with the opposite sex in the first place is the thing to do. Anyway, that's my two (or three) cents.....Debbie

Middle East and North AfricaLong distance relationship jealousy

I don't have the time to be jealous :no:


I'm jealous of the fun he has with his friends. He's jealous because I'm with my kids and he really wants to be here with us.




Forgot to say that I AM SOOOOO JEALOUS OF THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE THEIR SO HERE ALREADY. And I am pissed that a person sitting in Casa gets to determine the path of my life. Wish I could make a few judgments on those folks' married lives--- :whistle:

Middle East and North AfricaLong distance relationship jealousy

I so agree with Doodle and PW. It takes two people to make a relationship work and only one to tear it apart. I don't think I would want a man who I couldn't be just a little jealous of, but not to the point of wondering if I really mattered to him. What would be the point of the relationship in the first place if you were constantly in fear of losing him to another woman?




I agree with the above folks. I put it this way, "If you can do any better, good luck, and don't let the door hit you in the ### on the way out." :blink:

I have come to realize that Moroccan men (this is what mine says) believe that jealousy means you love somebody. He does get jealous, but so far, I have done all right. He never does anything (yet) to make me jealous. However, it all came home to me yesterday when I met my new single beautiful blonde new neighbor that Hamid will be exposed to when he moves here. :crying: I actually stopped and worried about that--really pitiful. BUT I do worry about women chasing him here in the USA, but what can you do? And the difference in our ages worries me some, but not him. He worries that I will find an older guy and dump him--lol. We just have to go on blind faith. He tells me if he wanted somebody else, he could find her there in Marrakech with all those half-naked tourists and other women. :wacko:

So what can you do???? Not a damned thing, just know that if something happens and you become single again, you WILL survive that. I thought my life was over when my hubby of 22 years came home and announced he wasnt happy, then filed for a divorce 2 weeks later. BUT I am now happier than I ever was...point is, keep going, things will work out. My mom's best advice: "Not one door closes that another one doesn't open." If you had told me a few years ago that I would be going to Morocco to see a younger fiance, I would have thought you were crazy. Just goes to show you, be open, anything can happen....and usually does!!! :P

Middle East and North AfricaOK, Please don't rag on me, but....
the email address of the US Consulate at Casa. I have found phone numbers and snail mail addresses (being Morocco brings new meaning to snail mail...) but can't find email address. Does it do any good or just piss them off if you email them often?

Please help.... Thanks so much. Debbie

Middle East and North AfricaGoing to the Dentist

Hi all,

My husband never went to a real dentist in Morocco.

Once in Morocco he broke two teeth--yes, opening a bottle with his teeth :wacko: . So, he went to the tooth man in Djmaa al Fna (a big open market in the Marrakech medina). I'm going to try to insert a picture here:
Posted Image

Ok, so a big strong guy held him down while the tooth man extracted his teeth with a pliers--no novicane, no painkillers, etc. He paid the equivalent of one dollar a tooth!

When Simo came to the US, I brought him to the dentist for a broken tooth but I had terrible dental insurance. With insurance, we ended up paying $300 to get a tooth pulled. Simo thought that was highway robbery and hasn't been back until today.

So now he has good insurance, and he went in for a cleaning/evaluation. Needless to say there are some issues. He apparently needs 13 fillings, one of his wisdom teeth pulled and his gums are not looking so good (oh, if only he would quit smoking!)!!

Ugh. I don't know how much this is going to cost us out of pocket, but it sure ain't pretty. We may need to prioritize and do some next year (we may hit the max on the dental insurance for the year).

My thoughts: if you have the opportunity, try to get any dental work done in your habibi's home country...it is MUCH cheaper (though I don't think dentists are very common).

Cheers,
Carolyn


OK--I've got a dental story to share. We decided that we would get Hamid's first teeth cleaning, so we just go into a dentist down on the main drag in Marrakech. She was a young woman, very stylish, etc. Her assistant was also the front-desk woman and very very nice. I figured at least she was young and didn't display a pair of pliars, which Hamid says is the way they do it in Medine and at his hometown.

Anyway, so she cleans Hamid's teeth for $50.00. I have to admit he was brave, hardly ever flinched when she ran the sonic thing. So then she polished them, but never did the dental floss thing. So then (being a teacher) I had to show all of his sisters and him how to use dental floss when we were at his house. It occurred to me why in the hell doesn't a teacher or dentist there show them how to do this stuff???? Like they do in the USA when you are little, right? It is sooo sad that they are not told how to take care of their teeth. Hamid does have the gum issues too.

So, then we decide, ok we will let her fill a FEW fillings (for $25.00 each, mind you). So we end up going 3 times for 14 fillings. And, guess what, she did three or 4 fillings at a time in 15-20 minutes--and that included giving the shot!!! I was waiting for him to scream and jump out of the chair, but again, he was brave. He was sooo proud that his teeth looked so much better. However, his only dental experience had been having two teeth pulled in the lower back at two different times, I am sure he thought this was mild. This dentist, though, said she could not work on the two lower back ones. I am assuming they needed root canals or crowns. So I am trying to get him to ask her dental questions in Arabic when he doesn't know the vocabulary in English and he is getting mad at me for "embarrassing him" when all I am doing is trying to get into. I did manage to figure out a chart she was showing us--I think she was trying to tell us the cavaties were not down to the third level or something.

I'm in the chair over there watching, amazed at how fast she can fill those dang teeth. Then I wondered if his gums were really numb that fast. But I figure if not, I will know soon. So after the 4th visit, we are finished. They really were so nice to us. And of course, Hamid was thrilled with the results.

When I got back to the USA, I had a dental appointment for my cleaning. I told my dentist and his wife and assistant who work there how fast she filled them. Of course, they were horrified. "Did she clean them, did she dry them, did she mix this and that??" Of course, I have no idea how they will hold up. But I look at it as a stop-gap measure until he gets here. And with my dentist's prices (you could eat off their floor they are sooo picky) I just saw dollar signs adding up. I think we will be paying them 100-200 a month for life!! : :(

Anyway, I agree that it is better to have them done there--at least what they are capable of doing. Looking back, I think I would check my Blue Cross/World Access for names of dentists they recommend. But I didn't think of it at that time. I feel so sorry for the people there for their lack of access to doctors and dentists. I think in Hamid's case, he was just used to the pain. The same goes for his ruptured eardrum--they have to live with it and just treat it stopgap the best they can. It is just heartbreaking what some of the people have to go through.....oh well, I will now get off my soapbox... :P
