Middle East and North Africa	Serious Doubts	you should not HAVE to wear a head scarf. If he loves you, then he will not be upset over that. Its your choice to wear it, your an american woman, and not restricted to wearing one. and narina77....as she has said already, allah is not going to condem her bc shes not wearing a head scarf, allah could care less. you were insulting and attacking her, all she was asking for was advice. to the OP, i hope things work out, but remember, like you sd, you are who you are, and you shouldnt be forced to do anything like wearing a cover over your head just to make your husband look good. If he loves you he will let it go and understand how you feel. Edited by Sinergy, 17 November 2008 - 01:36 AM.	Sinergy	Female	Romania	2008-11-17 01:22:00

My husband loves me, and my kids love me, and im not on here half as much as she is. The only loser i see here, is the one trying to convince everyone of how wonderful she is all the time, bc shes not even convinced herself. You're not convincing to yourself, but keep trying. The bottom line is, I haven't wasted my time complaining about you or anyone else as you have about others. If your life was so full of joy, as you claim, you wouldn't be so preoccupied with the perceived failings of people you don't even know. That's why I dont need Expats. I'm neither a complainer nor a victim. I dont need to convince myself of anything i already know i have a wonderful life. I come on here when i have downtime at home, i hop on every once in awhile, only to see you b*tching and complaining about something. Whenever there is a feud your right in the middle. lol And why not, over the past years, ive seen your the biggest drama queen on here. i dont think ive seen you positive or happy about anything. You judge ppl on here left and right, and when challenge about it you throw out your PhD bull...as if that gives you any knowledge on manners. I grew up all over the world, and with every person i have encountered, you are by far the worst, even if i havent met you in person. And TBH, im glad i never have. Ppl like you are never happy unless you are arguing or pissing ppl off (not me, i just think your hilarious lol)...i know, my mother is just like you, i pity you, and i hope one day you will come to acknowledge that the world is a very big place, and you are only a small speck of ugliness breathing the same air as the ppl who you *think* are less of value than you. Good night, im going to go watch a movie with my husband. And i really do hope this is our last conversation, bc you sicken me. your personality, your think you know it all additude, and your lack in skills with humanity.

However, carrying it on and on is just unecessary. Bringing your cronies onboard is also uncool IMHO. It's like watching a mad highschooler get all of his friends, then get a mob mentality going and standing back laughing. Hopefully everyone can chill out and stop the bashing. Im a little ashamed that some of the women on this board so freely drew out their claws and got to "mobbn" also. Lisa For the record, I didn't bring anyone over, nor did I ask them to take up the torch. There was already a topic at Expats about that thread, so I posted about the latest in there as a means to rant and curse and complain. If people felt the desire to come over to VJ and post their feelings about it, that's entirely up to them. I didn't recruit them. Come on, you know you put up a billboard. I knew this was a bait thread from the beginning. That's why I wouldn't comment on the topic. You guys over at Expats act your posts are transparent and no one can tell how you plot to come over to VJ and stir sh!t up with people you don't like. Frankly, Expats or no expats, platy, amby, len, tara, just your being here together in one thread is a red flag coz you have no other reason to be here other than to bait. Why anyone would spend so much time gossiping about people you never met but just don't agree with, putting out negative speculations, plotting to "get back" at them, and acting like gangbangers on a message board is beyond me. MENA women sanctioning a foray into MENA such as this is even more pathetic. Think whatever you want about your "enemies", but it takes a specially low-esteem type to waste time in groups doing that. There are all kinds in the world. yep. So this "expats"..is where they "talk about you when you arent around and they decide you are "done" on VJ"? hmm lol thats pretty funny We talk about anyone, your welcome over there anytime.

Middle East and North Africa	Mahr - What Determines Worth?	hahahaha....i see you can read the board VW but too chickensh*t to write on it. You stay here in VJ where you think you are safe and ppl will have your back. Trust me, nothing we have done over there was a plot, it was trust, and honesty on how we feel about you and narina. expats is open to ANYONE, if we were stupid enough to try and "plot" we wouldnt do it where you or anyone else could read it.

Middle East and North Africa	Mahr - What Determines Worth?	I dont believe beauty is on the outside, it is the inside. Someone can be incredibly pretty outside and have one of the worst, arrogant, know it all, selfish personalities, and it will make the person purely ugly. And i certainly dont understand how ANYONE can be ok with their husband taking a second wife. There isnt much love or respect in a marriage if a second wife is brought in and wife #1 is cool with that. Edited by Sinergy, 19 November 2008 - 02:20 AM.	Sinergy	Female	Romania	2008-11-19 02:18:00

Middle East and North Africa	Mahr - What Determines Worth?	Ok then thats the difference, if my sister sd " HE BOUGHT ME AND IM WORTH EVERY PENNY"....wouldnt that be greencard fraud? not to mention highly unmoral? [quote name='Ash * Habibati' date='Nov 18 2008, 01:53 PM' post='2405233'] But that's the difference. It shouldn't be stated as "My husband paid xxxx for me" I think that's a very very wrong statement on so many levels for anyone to make. As Rahma said, it's gifts - furniture, jewels, household items, and any number of things that more often than not are used for the couple to start their life together. And I know in my husband's family several items have been passed down as part of the mahr. So they can even be generations old. It's not always the monetary aspect, but also tradition and such with in a family.	Sinergy	Female	Romania	2008-11-18 12:56:00

US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	I-134 question	Well i sent it with the petition anyway back in November, i felt better being safe than sorry. My only concern was, should i send the same designed I-134 this time for his interview, or the new updated version.	Sinergy	Female	Romania	2006-05-24 11:05:00
US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	I-134 question	Tara, Are you sure that the form you downloaded from this site is the I-134? Or that it was the I-134 that you sent with the petition? I-134 hasn't changed since June 2004, and then only minor differences from earlier versions, so if the forms you've looked at are totally different they were not both I-134. You'll have to ask the consular officer who processes your fiance's visa application if your congressman is right or wrong - it's that consular officer's option to request an I-134 or not. Why did you include an affidavit of support with the petition? Yodrak The form i downloaded from this site for the affidavit of support looks totally different from the one i sent with the petition back in November. Is this just a new revised I-134? Or should i go back onto the uscis site and download the same one i have back in November. Im getting these ready to send to my fiance tomorrow as I was told he needed updated I-134 and the NOA2. one more q, my congressman said i dont have to send the I-134 affidavit of support, is he wrong? oh ill send it anyway to be on the safe side. Thanks, Tara Because the the info i used said i needed to send the affidavit of support with the petition, you have to prove he will be supported. And the I-134 affidavit of support i downloaded from this site is the newest version, even says exp.04-30-2007...it also says I-134 affidavit of support at the top of the form.

US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Anyone going through Bucharest Embassy	I was freaking out this week over weather or not i needed to send in an updated affidavit of support, since it is attached to the petition from November 05. I called the Embassy in Bucharest and asked them, and she was very nice and stated that if my affidavit of support was already attached to the petition i do NOT need to send a new one for the interview. I heard somewhere that we didnt need to send in the affidavit of support with the petition, which i thought i should back in November. So i basically covered a basis i didnt know i was covering.

Ed said there was a mother there who was waiting for her interview and her 9 year old daughters interview (the moms husband is here in US) so they can reunited with husband/father. Anyway Ed said they denied the 9 year old daughters visa because she didnt speak much english, but granted the mothers. The mother explained there was nowhere she could or would want to leave her daughter in Romania so she herself turned down her visa and left empty handed i find that a bit harsh.

US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	Bucharest embassy experience	Ok, well Ed finally got his visa last week on the 21st, but it was not easy at all. He said his appointment was at 1pm. He got there at 1, and by the way, the embassy is being renovated, so all interviews are being taken place in a tent outside, lil tid bit. He said it was full. People were being called and bla bla, he was like one of the last to hear his name. The first person he saw he said was a Romanian woman, who was real mean She looked at all of his papers and then told him to go sit down. He waited 30 minutes and was called again by the same woman. She told him none of the papers were good and there was nothing she could do for him. He informed her that I (the USC) had called up there 2 weeks earlier and asked EVERYTHING he needed for the interview, what originals, what copies and so forth, and what she had is what they said he needed. She said ok, and to go wait again. He waited another 30 minutes and she called him up again. She then told him the affidavit of support was wrong, that it wasnt an updated one. He informed her that i had called and asked about that as well, and was told that as long as there was one already attached to the petition, there was no need for me to send a new one for the interview. She said ok, and told him to go wait again. He waited another 30 minutes and an American lady called him up, she went through the papers with him, asked him questions about our pictures, our son, my daughter, how we met, how many times i was in Romania, bla bla. He answered all. She then asked about our Romanian marriage cert. For those who do not know the story, short version is, we got married in Romania, me under the assumption with papers that my divorce was final for 10 years, coming back to US finding out it was never legally final, therefore making our Romanian marriage invalid. So she asked him why he did not have the original marriage cert. He told her this was for a K1 visa not a K3, there was no reason to have the original, we only submitted the cert for proof of relationship. She asked him if he had ended the marriage in Romania. He said well yea, it was ended when my fiance found out her lawyer from 10 years ago screwed up and her divorse wasnt legal. She asked him if he himself ended the marriage. he said he went to the mayors office, told them the situation and they said OK. She asked if he had documentation, he said no. She said there was nothing they could do for him as far as issuing a visa. He again made his statement about talking to the mayor of the city we were married. She said OK, go sit down. He waited again some time, was called again to pay his $100, and then fingerprinting. He was called again by the American woman, he said she went through the papers again, handed him his passport with the visa printed on it, and welcomed him to the US. Yes there were a few times he thought he was gonna poo in his pants He said they were all very mean up there, maybe it was just that day i dunno, but he did it, i knew he would. And he will be here next week	Sinergy	Female	Romania	2006-06-26 21:30:00
US Embassy and Consulate Discussion	mystery envelope	I told him not to worry about it, because no, its not open enough to get paper in or out. Its not easy for him to get back there. Hed have to hop on a train at 4 in the morning and its alot for him to get there. I told him not to worry about it, because the opening isnt big and he should be fine, but if he wanted to fix it, to go to the embassy the day hes in Bucharest to get on his plane (by train schedual he has to be there 1 day early and sit around the airport anyway) to go ahead and take it back to be resealed since he will have a whole day. uh, *hello*! You never showed us E's picture before. No wonder you're anxious! I read your postings about your guy's Budapest Experience Lord love a duck--you got yourself a M-A-N Correction Bucharest but yes, i got myself a MAN And poor thing, he went thru HELL to get to that interview. I cant even begin to tell everything he had to do to get to Bucharest to the interview. And then because the interview lasted longer, he missed his train home, and had to take a late train, and between getting on that one at 6pm, and having to wait at other train stations for other trains, he didnt get home til 6am the next morning. It normally takes 5 hours by train to get from his villiage to Bucharest. Hes a trooper	Sinergy	Female	Romania	2006-06-30 20:17:00
