Middle East and North Africapositive things
What a fantastic topic!!! Thanks Venus for this and our way of sharing what is good in our lives!!

Wael has been in the states for almost 4 yrs!! We have known each other for 7 yrs and been married
5 yrs. He's accomplished so much and i'm so proud of him. Can truthfully say there really isn't a "bad"
day...only a couple of setbacks. Nothing that didn't have a solution. I'm forever grateful for him and his
unconditional love for me.

His hard work has granted him a BS in Economics w/Honors from the University of Arizona, and he's
almost finished with his 2nd yr at Eller College of Management (UofA). He will graduate in May 2012 with a MBA in Finance!

He also became a citizen in April of this year and loves being an American! When he came here, he had his
BA in Accounting, but his love was Economics/Finance. Watching him always studying, never complaining,
going without hours and hours of sleep to get where he is today. Yes, I am both proud and amazed at his stamina
and sheer determination to succeed.

Again Venus, thanks so much for this wonderful topic! Congratulations to all who have or will post here!

Middle East and North AfricaDO YOU REALLY NEED A CERTIFICATE OF RELIGION?
I too married in Egypt and wasn't required to have a certificate of religion. Who is asking for it and is it a new requirement?

Hi, hope you guys are doing great :star: We are also putting our ROC package together, ours is due before March 6. Two years went by pretty fast, we are doing great, Ahmed adjusted to living here without any issues, he blended in just great and has been working ever since the 2nd month he arrived. He just is so sad to see the state Egypt is in these days and thankful he's doing well here so far.

About the transcripts, does anyone know if USCIS requires tax transcripts only, or can we submit the original 1040 tax return (I use turbotax). We always file our taxes immediately and we will include our 2011 tax return in our ROC package.


Take care,
Zahra







We just sent the 1040 returns...had no problem.

Very nice post!!! My husband and I also arrived in the states 4 yrs ago today!!! Yep, he's still here and we've
been married 5 yrs!

He's accomplished so much in such a short time and i'm very proud of these accomplishments. He also is a
citizen and a MBA candidate in Finance, graduating in May 2012.


I say to everyone, don't let anyone discourge you!! Takes patience and understanding. Wishing everyone a
Merry Christmas!

Again, thanks for this wonderful post!!:thumbs:

Middle East and North AfricaIs there anyone lived my story

I have been reading this entire post and enjoy all your comments. You people are really fantastic in trying to give Farid advice. And yes maybe Lisa can come on board and you guys can help her. I have learned the hard way not to ever give advice on how to obtain a visa as others don't think I know what I am doing. So I only stand from afar and applaud :thumbs: those who are alot more intelligent than I am in giving advice. This MENA forum is the best. :dance: :dance:

Still awaiting Farid's oath ceremony. Wohoo Morocco here we come. :luv: :luv: :luv:



I'm sure you guys will be hearing soon!!:yes:

So Im off work for a couple of days due to a bacterial infection possibly from food. I think its from seafood from Sunday night bcz I've been sick ever since. It feels like knives stabbing my stomach morning til night!

Daylight saving time starts at 2am tonight in most states so dont forget to change that time! I did it at 6pm to get a better idea of reality plus the medicine is making me fall asleep off & on. Adam has to be up at 3am for his job so I hope he wakes up in time!



Sorry you aren't feeling well Tammy. Rest and take care! Sure am happy we don't have to worry about the time
change here in Arizona!

Well got updated USCIS status saying Farid's oath ceremony letter on its way. We are excited about this. He truly deserves being a naturalized citizen, I am so very proud of him. He just bought me some sugar wafers. Good man. :bonk: :thumbs: :dance:
