Well my husband is here now, but.... when I was waiting for him I got a 2nd job to help pay bills, save money and bcz my mind went crazy if I didnt have something productive to do. I definitely got depressed and didnt want to talk to family or friends so I worked 2 jobs 6 days a week.


I can't work a second job because every five weeks I go On Call for a week on my actual job and they can call me anytime. its tough

X Marine general and he like to see everybody shaved and everything in order, but some times i let it grow sometimes.

The answer is so simple, if you choose not to wear hijab it is between you and Allah. You cant pick and choose and design Islam for your own satisfaction or western idealogy. I just got back from a nice day listening to Shiek Yusuf Estes here in Fresno. And he explained it so clearly , that is why I believe in it , I wear hijab. However I know many women who wear hijab and they are lacking other aspects of Islam in thier ways, I know many women who dont wear hijab but have a beautiful heart for Islam.
The dangerous thing is to be carefull in telling people what to do and not do. Because if you tell others you dont have to wear hijab and it turns out your wrong, your going to be held accountable for them. So its best to say its between you and Allah.

Sorry Tamara for not listing you, you have a spetial case I think you are the only one here with that type of case. Also I don't think you have a problem with Hijab, both you and your husband agree it not a requirment!!! true.. and I don't think these posts will change your mind unless you have different raisons.

I'm a muslim and I based what I said on my own family and friends experience. if a Muslim women wear hijab she is more likely to be a good practisant,
but not always true, some may wear hijab because they are forced too by the society or husbands. and some may choose not wear it because they are forced to, I know a girl that use to wear hijab and took it off so she can get a job. a friend of mine his name is Othman was a honor student we graduate at the same time he couldn't get a job because he wear islamic men dress. I advise him to take it off because it wasn't required for him, plus he need to pay his bills and thats a priority.
Islam is easy and have option and if you chose to complicate you won't hurt no body but your self.

to answer your question: praying is more important than hijab even do both of them are required. Muslima who wear hijab are most likely to pray but the muslima without hijab are less likely to pray even do they have good moral and inside. if you don't pray you are not a Muslim but if you don't wear hijab you are still a muslim that comit a sin and can be forgiven.



then that would be along the lines of the muslim men who pray but go out drinking, cursing and sleeping around. They are so good bcz they pray but the other stuff they do is commiting a sin and is forgiveable. Got it! star_smile.gif

What those men do is wrong, but god will decide what to do about them.

what I'm trying to do here is if somebody don't want to wear hijab they shouldn't, but they shouldn't try to convince people that wears it that they are wrong and god didn't require it.

I understand that Cristian are very deverse and have too many bibles and church's, is there anything in the Bible that talks about Hijab? if so can you state?
in the Qoran we there is a clear Aya about Hijab Allah (swt) said wa9ol lilmouminaty yadribna bijlabibihina 3ala khomorihin wala yobdina zinatahona ila madahara minha.(saa) in Arabic. that's why no body can say Allah didn't Require hijab.
just like praying its one of the pellars of islam but a lot of muslims don't pray.

I think Hijab is a requirment, But if you live in non Muslim country and fear for your life or you may be hurrassed you don't have to wear it Allah(SWT) said in the Qoran WALA TARMO BI ANFOSIKOM ILA TAHLOKA means do not expose your self to danger.
Astrfiro Allah for any mistakes , its just my opinion


gotta post my thoughts on that... if hajab was required then God wouldnt have told you for fear of your life or possible harrassment its ok NOT to wear it. Then each woman could say at any point in life they are in fear of their life for X reason or for harrassment. It either IS or ISNT a requirment.

I'm not a scholar, that was my opinion. what do you think about it?



I grew up in a home that from the time I was 12-18, my mother believed that God wanted us to dress in dresses and skirts in modest apparel. My sister and I did it for 6 years while living in the home. So, i did grow up in a very modest appearance home. We also know that modesty is also inside as well.
I myself do NOT believe a headcovering is required. I do not even wear dresses all the time now BUT I do wholeheartedly believe in MODESTY. I believe I can be just as modest in pants and a shirt as well as a long flowing dress or skirt and that some could be in a dress and not modest on the inside.

Are you and your husband muslims and what does he think about Hijab?


No, but he grew up muslim. We are christians.
He thinks hijab is nearly hilarious bcz some women from around his flat would get nearly naked out on the roof/balcony for all to see when their husbands werent around... ( not very inward or outward modest) and he doesnt get why women where tons of makeup but wrap their hair up if the point is modesty.

Good to know you are not muslim but you still offering and sharing your opinion about hijab.
Do you think Nanes at the church should take there hijab since they are modest from the inside?


Im not catholic either. My opinion is that hijab is not a requirment by God. For personal reasons and for each individual situation is one thing... to try to say thats its a requirment by God and that every muslim and/or christian should wear it... no I dont buy that.

its a requirment for muslims only, and that's the Qoran never being change and no body can change it. wear hijab or not is up to the person, and at the day of judgment we will be on our own and our opinions won't matter.

Hello everyone,
My wife's interview is about a couple of weeks from now and I'm starting to get a little paranoid. I know in the letter that I received from NVC about the appointment that all she needs to take with her is: 2 photos (5cmx5cm), her passport, the medical exam results envelope, and the appointment letter NVC sent, is that correct? I do not have to contact the embassy to do anything, right?
I tried calling the US embassy in cairo just to make sure everythings ok but haven't been successful. I've already sent in all the originals required for DS-230 to NVC as requested (original birth certificate, original police records, and the original marriage certificate. she doesn't need to take these with her to the interview since they already have these forms and she doesn't, right?
I just wanted to double check and make sure that I've got everything right.
Thank you very much.

check this
Interview Forms / Items and Pre-Interview Forms / Items
Good luck and my best wishes for you

Thanks bro. I checked that link earlier but the thing is all of the originals that are listed: birth certificate, marriage certificate, and police records, I sent all of these items to NVC because they asked for the originals, my wife has only copies of those documents. How can she take originals with her to the interview when they've already taken those forms from us?


I believe your wife need to bring copies of those documents. All original documents will be returned at the interview.

rose.gif Good luck

Thanks man. I also cheched with a relative who interviewed recently and said she didn't need anything but the interview letter, passport, the photos, and medical examination results. I'll tell her to take the copies of birthcert, marriage cert, ... etc with her as well. Thanks

My wife's interview is about a couple of weeks from now and I'm starting to get a little paranoid. I know in the letter that I received from NVC about the appointment that all she needs to take with her is: 2 photos (5cmx5cm), her passport, the medical exam results envelope, and the appointment letter NVC sent, is that correct? I do not have to contact the embassy to do anything, right?
I tried calling the US embassy in cairo just to make sure everythings ok but haven't been successful. I've already sent in all the originals required for DS-230 to NVC as requested (original birth certificate, original police records, and the original marriage certificate. she doesn't need to take these with her to the interview since they already have these forms and she doesn't, right?
I just wanted to double check and make sure that I've got everything right.
Thank you very much.

check this
Interview Forms / Items and Pre-Interview Forms / Items
Good luck and my best wishes for you

Thanks bro. I checked that link earlier but the thing is all of the originals that are listed: birth certificate, marriage certificate, and police records, I sent all of these items to NVC because they asked for the originals, my wife has only copies of those documents. How can she take originals with her to the interview when they've already taken those forms from us?

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresReceipt Number

Hello all. I was wondering if you could give me some insight. I have read that the receipt number for the NOA1 follow a certain format:

3 letter code of your service center
2 digit year of the application
3 digit number of the fiscal day the application was approved
5 digits starting with the number 5 and a then four other numbers related to your application

But mine doesn't follow this at all. It is EAC 11 902 1xxxx

Does anyone know what this means? Thanks for your help. I hope you are all having a fantastic weekend!


Hello all,
I have the similar new format number for two of my cases. For one, I have a NOA1 with receipt date of 4/11/2011 number WAC119034xxxx. On the second, NOA1 receipt date is 4/25/2011 with number WAC119036xxxx. Wondering how to interprete these numbers! However, on USCIS website both are valid numbers and at "initial review" stage.
Any help in interpreting these numbers would help.

Middle East and North AfricaCan you cover (wear hijab) for passport pic?
Hijabs should be fine:

Unless worn daily for religious reasons, all hats or headgear should be removed for the photo. In all cases, no item or attire should cover or otherwise obscure any part of the face.

You said she was getting her bachelor's degree. I think that will help also. The consulate will like to see that she's educated and can be productive over here in the US. Her being in school will go a long way to explaining why you've not seen each other a lot.

Good luck! I'm happy for you guys!




thank. good luck to you to with your K3.
