Good morning! Beautiful sunny day here. Hope everyone had a wonderful New Year's.

Congrats to your husband with his new job!! Always makes you feel like a million bucks!

New Years day we watched the Rose parade, then looked for some of my family who went
to the Rose Bowl game. They are die hard Penn State fans. Poor PS lost big time!!
For those who live close to Pasadena, go see the floats ! They are just awesome.

Hi i'm Jeanne! Wael is from Alexandria, Egypt. He has been here 9 months and adjusted very well. He works for a military contractor ( obtaining his job only 2 wks after arrival), loves Arizona, loves his car, loves Chinese and American food, loves Fridays coz the weekend is here, and is a master poker player! He still is planning on starting his MBA next year. His love for me and his enthusiasm for life has made our journey smooth.

Good luck to all the new MENA peeps with your journey!

Good morning everyone! We have rain today and it's wonderful. Just little sprinkles.

We have two new young Cardinals that come to feed on the patio. They are just adorable. Can see their red coming thru! Too bad they have to stand in line with the
other birds! The pecking order isn't very nice.

Hope you feel better Tam and Bridget!

Nice to see you Tasha!!!

Have a great day. Stay safe!

Middle East and North AfricaTravel Q & A: Is it safe to travel to Egypt?
Anywhere in the world is a hotspot! One can't just stop living because of the world situation....one just has to be cautious of what is going on around him.

Actually when I traveled to London I felt more uneasy than in Cairo or Alexandria.

Don't stop living and traveling.

Middle East and North AfricaTravel Q & A: Is it safe to travel to Egypt?
If the State Dept hasn't issured travel warnings then the country is still on the safe list. You may want to check back with the site periodically. Egypt takes many security measures for their tourists.

Just be sure when you do go to register with the State Dept site. Of course Olivia, always be aware of your surroundings! Go and have a great time, but always with caution. Doesn't make a difference which country I am at, I'm always cautious.

Also, leave a copy of your passport, itinerary, addresses and phone numbers of where you will be staying with a family member. Advise the family members that you also have registered with the State Dept's site. Good luck!!

Middle East and North Africawhat paper's i need for my interview
QUOTE (Hot Guy @ Jan 11 2009, 03:07 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Here are some tips for the interview:

1. Do not volunteer information. For most questions, the shorter and more direct the answers are, the shorter the interview and the higher the chance of success. If the question is a yes or no question, give yes or no answers only. If the question is a simple question like "What is your name?" answer simply with your name.

2. If you do not know the answer to a question, do not lie. Say, "I don't know the answer to that at this time." or "I don't remember."

3. The answer to many questions will be in the papers that were sent in the petitions. Questions like, "what are your wife's parent's names". They will expect you to know the information given in your petitions. Review everything in your paperwork with your wife before your interview, and do a mock interview to see how the information may be applied.

4. Avoid saying "I think . . .". Women do this a lot. The examiner will expect you to know not be unsure, of your answers. Also, avoid adding "umm", "you know" and "ahh" type fillers to your speech.

5. When applicable, don't just state, demonstrate. If the examiner asks a question that can be answered with a document or photograph(s), provide it along with your answer.

For example, if the examiner asks, "What does your family think of your wife?", give them a picture or two with your answer; "They like her very much. Here is a picture of her with my mother and father at my parent's home."

Or, "How many attended your wedding?" Answer, "(give a number, then say) We have some lovely wedding photos of our guests having fun. Here are a few that I can show you."

6. Give American answers for dates and times. 12/24/07, not 24/12/07.

7. Dress well, but not overdressed.

8. Try to appear calm, well organized, and friendly. Nervousness raises suspicions.

9. Remain focused. If the examiner makes jokes, smile and enjoy, but do not make jokes too.

10. Make proper eye contact when conversing with the examiner, and try to control your own facial expressions so that your face remains pleasant and cordial.

11. Be audible so that your examiner doesn't have to ask you to repeat your answers.

12. Organize your papers in a way that will allow you to retrieve them easily and quickly. Examiners appreciate order and someone who doesn't waste their time.

13. When the interview is over, always ask for the results. "What should I now tell my wife about my visa status after our interview?" Before you leave, have them explain any papers they give to you and/or any procedures they will be taking to complete your case. Try to get the examiner's name for future reference, if needed. Write it down.

14. If the interview is in another city than the one you live in, arrive a day or two early to complete biometrics and get the results of your medical exam.

15. Arrive early to the consulate, but also be prepared to wait for a time past your scheduled interview appointment time. Be careful of thieves around the consulate if you have to carry cash. Bring ID; you cannot enter without it.

and here are some of the interview questions they might ask you :

1-What's your wife full name?
2-How many times have you met?
3-When and how did you meet?
4- How long have you known each other?
5-How long were you together the last time?
6-What are the dates of the visits?
7-Where does she live? Which city and state?
8-What does she do for a living?
9-What is her phone number?
10-Do you know how long she has had this job?
11-Did you have an wedding ceremony? Please describe your wedding ceremony.
12-Have you met her family?
13-Where does her parents live?
14-Why would you choose to marry so much older/younger than you?
15-How do you spell her middle name?
16-What are your wife parents names?
17-Does your wife have any brothers or sisters? What are their names?
18-Do you know if your wife was married before? How many times ?
19-When did she divorce her ex-husbands?
20-Does your wife have any children? how many ? What are their names? do they live with her?
21-Why do you want to travel to the United States?
22-What is your wife birth date?
23-Where was your wife born?
24-Where and when were you married?
25-What company does she work for and what is her title?
26-Did you prepare the forms yourself?
27-Which university did she graduate from?
28-What is her ex-husband's name?
29-have you talked to her family on the phone ?
30-Do they approve of your relationship?
31-When was her last divorce?
32-how long you known each other ?
33-what do you love about your wife?
34-what do your parents think about the wedding ?do they approve it ?
35-why your wife's marriage not work out ?
36-what did you send to your finance like gifts...?
37-what did she send to you ?

Middle East and North AfricaHow Muslims are treated in the USA
QUOTE (Gemmie @ Jan 11 2009, 11:25 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
I'm sorry you've had troubles with that judge, it was very unprofessional.

However, nothing in your post says anything about his reasonings so it's impossible to say it's because he dislikes Muslims. In fact, it's quite a ridiculous thing to say.. I can understand you being frustrated but what frustrates other people is when people of certain groups pull out the race or religion card whenever the slightest piece of trouble rolls around. We've had problems too, everyone does.
