Opinions please....I called for my monthly call to the csc and the guy told me that we should hear something in 2-3 weeks....Ive not been given a time frame before...we are in background checks or so they say. Im trying not to get excited....who thinks that he actually saw something on my file? Im grasping at straws here!


You sent your petition in December of 2006? blink.gif I assume you must have had a name match with a bad guy. I sure hope they release you from purgatory soon!

By the way, have you requested assistance from your senator or congressman? If not I think a little congressional attention is long overdue.

Congressman Deal has been "looking" into it since August...CSC hasnt yet answered his inquiries. The have told us in months past that we are in name checks, then background checks, now this 2-3 week thing. Did I mention that the CSC is actually the headquarters of hell here on earth?

When you are way past the timeline it is impossible not to stress and wonder...I do enjoy the time I spend online with my fiance, but forgive me if after 3 years of being together and then deciding to go on this journey Id much rather get to know him more here in person than online...I also believe that if everyone that went way beyond the 6 month processing time they uscis has themselves laid out...writing to the ombudsman, congressman, senators, petitions, emailing the vice president then it wouldnt be the voice of one lone frustrated soul...it would be seen as the epidemic of lethargy on belhalf of the csc that it is!

Looking at your timeline---have you no NOA 2 yet??? Or just not an updated timeline?

No noa2 yet.

Middle East and North Africavisa in hand
From what Ive seen if you get a good agency the tickets are cheaper there than online. When I was going over, the online tickets were about 350 more than what I got through an agency. Agencies get them through consolidators(spelled right???) anyway this is how it is usually cheaper that way. Congratulations again!!! I cant wait till I am posting the same!!!!

Middle East and North AfricaFlight Ticket Morocco
Assalamo aliakum,
When I flew in to Casablanca in November, I used a travel agent outside of Chicago called My Travel Agent. They beat any ticket I found online by at least 500 because they use consolidators.Their number is 847) 677-7550 if you want to try. Monika is who I dealt with. They handle mostly Czech Germany etc but did a really great job on Morocco to. I couldnt pay with credit card...I had to overnight a check, but for saving 500 it was well worth it. If your going in summer months it will be higher I guess but maybe you could still save!!!
chasnikFemaleMorocco2007-03-24 06:13:00
Middle East and North AfricaCzech Airline?
If you found a cheaper fare with them by all means take it!!!(even if it wasnt cheaper Id take it) The service that you get with Air France Lufthanza etc leaves the others in the dirt. My ex husband is from Czech and he always flies with them when going home.
chasnikFemaleMorocco2007-03-31 06:33:00
Middle East and North AfricaDid you know that SO from the Middle East
I do not think I look like a security threat... I'm white and have a VERY pronounced southern accent. Before I went to visit Mohammed in Morocco Id never left the country much less been on a plane. I get sent from the lines everyone is in with a manilla folder to a little room. Me and another guy in the room. After staring at me for a bit this lady(and I only say that because she was female and I try to not be crude) starts asking me ?'s. Where I went...why....how long was I there, did I meet his family...what did we do..I was handling it pretty well given the fact it had been 24 hrs since I had slept. Finally she pushed a button she asked me if he paid me to come there. I warred inside for a few minutes I mean she was a government official, but then I thought screw it Im american I have worked and paid taxes since I was 15. I asked do you mean is he paying me to marry him?? Or did he buy my ticket? She said the first...I took a deep breath and told her I paid for my ticket...she said but is he giving you money?? She had a wedding band on..so I asked her...did you have to give your husband money to marry you? Are trying to say to my face as an american citizen that I cant be in love and would need someone just looking for a way to America to be getting married???I just want to make sure I have this right because I want to make sure my lawyer gets the whole story when I get out of this room and call him at home on Saturday night at 10:30 to tell him how a tax paying american citizen is being made to feel like useless garbage. She handed me my passprt and told me to have a good night.

Middle East and North AfricaAnyone else hate this question as much as I do?
I've found that alot of the people I know especially people at work use the "So whens he coming" to offer support...even though it is in a twisted makes me want to smack them kind of way. :innocent: Letting me know I guess that they are there for me(and I choose to believe this because Id cry constantly otherwise)because really if youve never been through this process who'd believe it was so hard?? But some of the people in my family(southern holy rollers talking in tongues) they use it to kind of goad me. Whenever I say anything about Mohammed the kids and I my parents are like you dont even know if he's coming. Inshallah he will be. And they are like it isnt easy for his kind to get in...Umm the human kind??? He is in for a BIG culture shock when he gets here!!!
chasnikFemaleMorocco2007-04-06 18:51:00
Middle East and North AfricaHave your husbands friends married American?
Ok heres my opinion on this... you know what they say about opinions.... :devil: in todays society alot of people meet online, whether it be across the country or across the world. And having been in Morocco honestly there isnt a plethera of opportunity there, so it makes sense to me that the men there look elsewhere. When I was there Mohammed took me to the cyber his friend owned to introduce me. There were NO women there. Alot of that I think is that its ok for a muslim man to marry a christian woman but society wise not the other way around. What alot of people do I think though is rush in... you know meet, oh he loves, engaged, bring him here. No matter where it is you have to take time to get to know each other. The new does wear off. Mohammed and I have 2 years now... and as you all know it isnt easy to find something to talk about day in day out when your in the same house much less staring at each other on a screen. But we do it not so he can come to America, but so we can be together...here if he gets a visa, there if he doesnt. So red flag for friends that come here? No it doesnt do it for me... it doesnt matter what came before... it matters what is now and what you make of it in the future.

Middle East and North AfricaCasablanca Consulate closed "indefinitely"

:lol: Your Mohamed sounds like my Mohamed....it will happen when Allah wants. Meanwhile I would be freaking out like a mad woman.


Mohammed is telling me that everything has it's time and this is part of our destiny to wait. He says that they will reopen soon....I hate that calm #######. I am not calm I am freaking out. Not just about them closing, but my families safety there.AAAAGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!! :(

Exactly....when Allah wants that it will be....Im not real good at waiting anyway...and waiting for something this important then some idiots are over there blowing up my chances of being with the man I love....Mohammed has told me to quit reading the news because I spaz... :crying:

Middle East and North Africaitty bitty baby steps in the returned petition process
Keep your chin up!!! Everytime I whine or complain about it taking so long, Mohammed says we are seasoning our love(ok well in his english this isnt exactly what he says but Im paraphrasing here!!!)When I ask him to explain he says anyone can fall in love when its easy and live, but when you have to fight and struggle to be together you come to realize how much it means. Just hold on to your love.....6 days more or 6 months more what is it really when you look at 50 more years together???

Middle East and North Africawhat to take to the interview

Chasnik,

you've filed before for the same person and was denied? I didn't realize. How long ago did you file? Was it a K1? I'm asking because you would have needed to include a waiver with your packet. Did you know to do that?

The k1 was denied here on the basis that we hadnt met in the previous 2 years. I had a stupid lawyer who said that I could get a waiver of that due to work/kids issues. Not true dont believe this even if a lawyer tells you. So alot of heartache and money later here we are again. They did give us so many days to appeal, a deadline which my lawyer missed. So here we are, different lawyer.
chasnikFemaleMorocco2007-04-25 04:43:00
Middle East and North Africawhat to take to the interview
I used a 3 ring binder and albumn pages that had places beside to write captions. Your way looks more professional...maybe I should redo...but from what Mohammed has heard most times they do not really look at alot of additional evidence. My case would be the one time they wanted everything else though if I didnt send it.
