Middle East and North AfricaIf you get approved on a K-1....

Apparently the fees depend on whether or not you apply for them all at the same time or individually. If you dont do them all at once you can end up paying individual fees per application.

Not necessarily. You can send I-485 first and pay the 1010 fees, then when you receive the notice of action, you can send the other applications with a copy of the I-485 NOA without paying any fees.

Middle East and North AfricaIf you get approved on a K-1....

My fiancee got approved for his K-1 visa and we are now married and living together in America. We've just started the process of applying for that dreaded next set of paperwork that keeps him in the United States. We've found that there's 3 forms to file, residency, permission to work and an affidavit of support. Just to make others aware who haven't reached this step yet, the 3 forms collectively can run you from $1080 - $1445, depending on how you file them, in fees.


You mean 3 applications, not 3 forms, and the total cost should be $1010.\
Check out the guide for the needed forms.

Middle East and North Africaalgerian embassy busy ?

Hey everyone,

Hamza and I have been trying to reach the Algerian Embassy for the last few days, with no answer. We call, and the voice recording comes on. We go to the consular section, then another recording, that says, they can not answer the phone. Has anyone else had issues with this? Is there a better way to reach them ? We tried Emailing as well, a couple times now, with no answer... and its been a week. Does anyone have any suggestions? Is there a more direct way to get a hold of someone there? Has anyone else had similar problems with this embassy ?


0112137 70 08 20 00
0112137 70 08 22 40

These are the two numbers we are calling. The first is for the embassy, and the second for the consular section, at the embassy.
This is the email we are using...consularalgiers@state.gov

Thanks for any suggestions

Danni

Middle East and North AfricaBiometrics, really?

Hey MENA Peeps!!

I have a concern and I am hoping one of the MENA (or anyone in Visajourney) can help.

We had to return my husband's greencard due to a USCIS Error (They spelled his last name wrong). So we send all the prove with the I-90 showing it was their error. They mailed us a notice that there would be no fee. We have been waiting the past 3 and half months and have heard nothing. I finally contacted the senator to do an inquiry. I heard back from them today telling me that the adjudicating officer informed them that we need to do a biometrics appt and that we will receive a notice in the mail shortly for the time and date. This didn't sound right, so I asked the person from the senators office to follow up because I didn't think that was necessary when it was an error on THEIR part. Am I wrong?

Also, if we end up having to go to this biometrics appt, what do we need to bring? Will it be in the appt letter all the information needed?

Thanks in advance!

Sharifah


Having new biometrics taken is part of the I-90 process, but 3 and half months is too long.

Asalaam Alaikum!
A friend of mine will be travelling to Algeria in December insha Allah and wanted to know if she can get the visa stamped at the airport when she arrives there. (That's what I did when I went to Egypt, but since I don't know how things work in Algeria, I told her I would ask here).

Thanks for the help!

Depends on what citizenship your friend holds. Algeria applies reciprocity when it comes to visa.

By the way, have you heard about western sahara or even algeria in the history? i dont think so, but you would find a lot about the kingdom of morocco, which was a great empire. Sorry guys, you would say the same if someone attack and says BS the States.

Middle East and North AfricaThe Occupation of Western Sahara

I assume you didnt understand my post.nobody said Algeria didnt exist as a land ,you need to put any statement within its political,social context before calling peaple ignorant.i said Algeria was under the OTTOMAN authority,was governed by OTTOMAN empire.means was not considered a country , it was just a state under the OTTOMAN EMPIRE since 1517, they ruled it for 4 centuries.Morocco was considered a country and could not be invaded by OTTOMAN empire .
i hope i could make it clear.Algeria was part of OTTOMAN EMPIRE.then the french occupation came and Algeria was considered part of Paris. until 1962,after so many sacrifices of the true nationalist of Algeria who gave their lives for Algeria and maybe none remember them.

So, according to your logic, when Morocco was under the French protectorate, it was inexistent as a country.

Middle East and North AfricaThe Occupation of Western Sahara

First when you want to post never say somebody is "Ignorant",you must either be not familiar with the area or talking with more emotions . you should give respect to a soldier whose duty is to defend his country. The whole north Africa including Algeria was under the OTTOMAN AUTHORITY, EXCEPT MOROCCO,WAS RECOGNIZED AS A STATE and never submitted to the OTTOMAN authority..then comes the french occupation i think 1830.
Am not here to discuss political issues,am not qualified for that and you do not seems qualified either,i`ve nothing against Algerienn ppl, i`ve so many very good friends and i lived with them,and my uncle is ALGERIENNE,they love Moroccans , and we love them.
there is no neutral source in Politic, do you have any neutral source? how and since when?are you kidding me? the only thing i knew and the world knows and confirm is that before 1860 Sahara was not an empty wasted land. and that Morocco was the only recognized state governing it in North africa.


A person who believes Algeria did not exist in 1884 is ignorant. Sorry, I thought you were here to discuss politics. I thought the whole issue is a political one.
oldahmedMaleCzech Republic2010-10-31 13:05:00
Middle East and North AfricaThe Occupation of Western Sahara

Here is a simple good answer that show how Algeria support and caus the problem.this the feedback of a moroccan prisonner in Sahara.i just found it by chance on the net .
"My Name is Ali Najab, I am a ex-Moroccan Fighter Pilot who spent 25 years in Tindouf in Algeria as a prisoner of War.
Question: Is Algeria directly involved in Sahara Conflict or not? The answer is YES indeed!!!!!Otherwise Algeria and those who support its policy should answer these Questions:
1-Why did Boumedienne send his 4 battalions to the Sahara in November 1975even before the Moroccan troops got there.The whole world knows that 106 Algerian soldiers were taken prisoner of war in Amgala in the middle of the Western Sahara in January 1976.
2-The Moroccan prisoners were always questioned by Algerian Officer. It was the case of myself: as soon as I arrived in Tindouf 4 Algerian Officers took me to the Algerian Head Quarters in Tindouf where I spent 55 days being many times tortured.
3-The Moroccan prisoner were held in Algeria.So Algeria was the main responsible for the torture and inhuman treatments We went through during a quarter of century:
-We were forced to do hard works.
-they made us to live in Holes without shilters under the summer hot sun and the very cold winter without any blankets.
-We were forced to give our own blood to the enemy hospitals.
-We were denied adequate food or medical care.
- we were forced to read propaganda in their radio against our country.Any time we refused we were tortured and put in cells for months.Some of us died in their cells.
-At any escape attempt Algerian helicopters were to search for us and when we were re-captured we were automatically tortured and put in cells until death.
- Any time they present us to the Press if our answers did not please either the Algerians or the polisario we were severely punished( torture and cell)
We have buried ourselves 46 of our fellow countrymen who mostly died under torture.
We have mentioned to the International Red Cross (ICRC) when they visited us in 1994 (3 years after the sease-fire) that about 56 articles of the Geneva third Convention were violated by both Algeria and polisario.
If Algeria pretends that She is not taking part in the Conflict why the algerian second desk had taken 476 moroccan prisoners to the north of Algeria ( Blida, boufarik, Boughar) near Algiers. 150 of them were exchanged against 106 algerian prisoners the rest was sent back to the polisario in 1994.
Why Moroccan prisoners were held 13 years after the ceasefire which is a violation of the Geneva Convention which stipulate that prisoners of war must be released immediately after the ceasefire.
According to the article number 1 of the UN convention about torture,there was not a day in which Moroccan POWs were not tortured.
Finally, I'll tell this to Messieurs Halim and Mourad who probably are Algerians:
In 1884 when Spain started colonizing the south of Morocco, was the Sahara( which was not called Western Sahara by the way!)terra nillus? the answer is of course NO.
So at that time which country was a Power or State in the region capable of governing these populations?
Was it Algeria? Algeria did not exist at that time. Was it Mauritania? It did not exist at time. Was it Mali? Mali did not exist at that time. The Only Country which was organized as a State was MOROCCO. It's enough for today!


So according to you, the proof is the word of a Moroccan pilot (an ignorant one who thinks that in 1884 Algeria did not exist)? Still I don't see clearly from what you just posted how Algeria is the cause of the problem.
In Morocco, you are taught that the reason the conflict between Morocco and the Sahara is not solved is because of external forces, namely Algeria, but the real reason is that Morocco does not want to abide by the international rules. Algeria doesn't hold its own unique position about this issue, Algeria supports the U.N. resolutions.
In your previous post you said "if we let people chose." That's exactly the position of Algeria; a referendum, but Morocco has been delaying it.
When Spain withdrew from the Sahara, it's Morocco and Mauritania who attacked it not Algeria. Algeria found itself with thousands of Sahrawi refugees after the brutal oppression by the King's Army.
Please, if you want to post anything, try to list neutral sources, not the usual Moroccan propaganda that always blame everything on Algeria.

Middle East and North AfricaThe Occupation of Western Sahara

Western Sahara was always Moroccan,and will be always,at a time countries are reunited to become more strong,some peaple are still calling for a 100 persons independance, this is soo funny.it`s all about greed and the problem was not Morocco, the problem was Spain, france and all those who invaded africa at a time, torn it and turn it into pieces to control it.if we were left as we were we wouldnt be like this,we would have gone far with the "great almaghrib" but the west never want that happen.Western sahara is a problem created by Spain to continue its domination.
it`s bad that Algerian leaders are supporting and causing this problem, while all of her leaders during the resistence were getting help from Morocco,and living in Morocco, and even some have studied in Morocco.
if the peaple were left to their choices, Morocco and algeria , tunisia, lybia,egypt, mouritania would be one country without borders.
The leader of Polisario was studying in Marrakesh having a Moroccan schoolarship .


How is "Algeria supporting and causing the problem"?

Middle East and North AfricaThe Occupation of Western Sahara

I didn't realize I was presenting a high level analysis here. I think I also clearly stated that neither argument will equal what the Sahrawi want. Algeria has it's own agenda, as does Morocco. The Sahrawi are in the middle of a geo-political game. Just understanding the facts of the condition the Sahrawi are in lead to my comments that of course another country will step up to fill that power vaccum if they attain independence.


Not of a high level (Not that I doubt your ability), but at least something that seems from a neutral source, because I've read about the issue a lot, and this is the first time I've heard about the Algerian aspirations to become the new colonial master. What you're presenting here is the usual Moroccan view.
oldahmedMaleCzech Republic2010-10-20 13:46:00
Middle East and North AfricaThe Occupation of Western Sahara

You don't have to be independent to have infastructure...the US South seceded from the Union and they had an infastructure. My point in this argument is that "Independence" for the Western Sahara is not really independence. The Polisario forcibly control the region and are brutal. Algeria backs the Polisario because of the reasons cited above. There are 500,000 people in the Western Sahara...a desert wasteland that happens to have mineral wealth and coastal access. Morocco has offered them autonomy but to remain a part of Morocco, Algeria/Polisario pushes a referendum with independence as an option. Everyone in this argument has an agenda. I certainly feel bad for the Sahrawi because really I don't think anyone in the argument is in favor of what's best for them, or what their wants are even. They are a pawn in this geo-political game.

When you said that Algeria will step up as the new colonizer, I expected you to put forward some credible arguments not your own conclusions or what the Moroccan side cites.
"Algeria/Polisario push for a referendum." The referendum was planned even before the Spanish withdrawal bu the UN and the African Union, which Morocco agreed to but has been delaying, and the billions that they invested in the south was to populate the region with people from the north in a case a referendum is enforced.
Some would argue that Algeria having less borders with Morocco is in its advantage because of the Moroccan expansionist agenda (the Greater Morocco).

Middle East and North AfricaHas your MENA spouse changed their perspective/opinion re: the US after living here for some time?

No worries. No hard feelings. You and your daughter are always welcome to the Arab-American community. Just a little note about the Arabs; The Arabs come from many different tribes, regions, and religions...but in the end, they are still Arab. To say a Moroccan is not Arab is like saying a Korean is not Asian! To say a Lebanese is not Arab, is like saying a Nigerian is not African! Please do not listen to the clueless ignorant minority who deny their Arab identity. The Europeans speak totally different languages (French..English..German...Polish..), and are still united and proud of their European heritage. The Asians also speak totally different languages (Korean..Chinese..Japanese..Philipino..) and are also united as Asians. Now the Arabs speak the same (one) language, (let alone share a common history, culture, and tradition) and some clueless minority do not consider themselves Arabs!!!!! That is laughable. As a Lebanese, I can make the stupid argument and say, "Oh well, I am actually Phonecian, and not Arab". An Egyptian can ignorantly say, "Oh, my people come from the pharos, so I am not Arab". An Algerian can be naive and say, "Oh, some of my people are Berber, so I am not Arab". A Saudi Arabian can also say, "Oh, my people are actually Bedouin, and so I am not Arab". That is all NON-SENCE!. So who the hel! is Arab then? A Moroccan is 100% Arab. A Lebanese is 100% Arab. An Egyptian is 100% Arab. An Arab is an Arab, regardless wither he/she is Christian, Jewish or Muslim. Please do not listen to ignorant people who do not even know their own heritage and history. All of the Middle East and North Africa is 100% Arab (with the exception of Iran), regardless of what the uneducated minority might think. All Arabs share a common language, history, culture and tradition.

Again, no hard feeling...P.S: I like the Irish culture (I love St. Patrick's Day!)


There are lot of misleading statements in this post. I believe North Africans feel differently about their heritage than the Middle Easterns do. North Africans recognize their multiple heritage; Arabs, Chaouis, Amazighs, M'zab, .... And Arab nationalism is not as strong there as it is in the Middle East. Saying that Morocco is 100% Arab is denying the identity of other "minorities".

Middle East and North AfricaMiddle East Conflicts, Where are we heading ?

I believe these countries who are fighting for their freedom and escape from oppression are dooming themselves.
What they want and what they will get are not the same. They want freedom and democracy (they say) but I believe they
will get the same thing the Iranians got after their revolution.
Worse oppression than they've ever endured before, less freedom than they had before.
Christians in those countries will now be persecuted and killed as is already happening in Egypt.
I don't believe this is the end of the world, but I believe it is the begining of Revelation in the Bible.
Read Revelation and its like listening to the headlines on the news.
There is only One who can save us and his name is Jesus.
We won't escape the tribulation but we can end up in Heaven.

HELLO,

I thought this would be the right place to post this thread NORTH AFRICA AND MIDDLE EAST about flying to MOROCCO which is in North AFRICA! I will be flying Delta to JFK and Royal Air Maroc from JFK to Casa. The ticket is the same booked with Delta,so I know that my bags will be checked all the way through going to Morocco. I have heard that Delta considers Morocco as "Europe" and not Africa so the 2 free checked bags for international flights does not apply but only 1!! I looked at some travel websites discussing of this issue with Delta and actually argue about it when they check their bags in saying Morocco is in Africa not Europe and that the 2 checked bags free should apply. Anyone with a recent experience is this true? I thought I would try Visa Journey for advice since so many of you have traveled between the U.S. and Morocco multiply times AND recently.

Thanks Team.


I don't understand this "Morocco in Europe" thing, but what I know is that all major airlines have started revising their baggage check-in policies on international flights. Now, in all major airlines, you have to pay for the second bag regardless of the destination.

My understanding is that you're asking about whether the name should be "Kalik" or "Khalil". Kalik is a very uncommon Arabic name while Khalil is very common.
Khalil is famous here in the US through the poet/write Gibran Khalil Gibran, who himself came from Mount Lebanon around 1895.

Middle East and North AfricaPENDING

Hello
My fiance had his interview in November and after having some issues with the Affidavit of Support form and clearing that up our case STILL PENDING. The embassy replies to 1/1000 of my emails and when they finally replied they said our case was pending because my fiance gave them the impression that we don't want to live in the US!! He just stated that he was going to come here and spend time with me before the wedding and we would go back together for the wedding and figure out what we're going to do from there. I find nothing wrong with what he said because we both agreed that we would figure out where we would live after getting married according to what both makes us comfortable and what we find easier. The woman that interviewed him was very rude and told him it didn't make sense to make someone who lived in the US their whole life live in Algeria....????!!! As far as I'm concerned that is none of their business. I AM ALGERIAN, my whole family is in Algeria and I visit every summer so I know what Algeria is like. She also picked on him for wanted to proceed with the interview in Arabic and how he was going to the US and couldn't speak English. She was playing (excuse my french) ###### mind games with him.

I am beyond frustrated at this point and just came to vent on here. I don't really have a question but if anyone has any comments or something to give me a sense of reassurance please feel free to express your thoughts. I guess if anyone was in this position or a similar one how long can a case stay pending?
Thanks


There is something wrong with that statement and it is all of their business, otherwise your fiance would come to you without going through them. If you engage in an immigration process, you have to show them that you really intent to immigrate.
I'm sure the CO was not picking on your fiance, that's how the interview goes.
