Middle East and North Africa	wearing rings	It is no secret that Casa is a very tough Embassy. Any embassy in the ME is tough, but Casa seems a bit stricter. We simply advise you to not give the Embassy any room to question the validity of your K-1. Wouldn't it make better sense to just forget the ring wearing for the brief time your fiance will be spending there for his interview? In other words.....Don't burn your bridges at both ends if you don't have to. Edited by Nagishkaw, 29 August 2009 - 02:11 PM.	Nagishkaw	Not Telling	Egypt	2009-08-29 14:09:00

Middle East and North Africa	Second Interview !!!!!!!!!!!!!	As I remember, after my husbands first interview, we were placed in AP for just about 6 months. Then he was called to have a second interview. They did not keep his passport at the first interview. At the second interview he was asked for his passport, which he turned over to the CO and it was stamped that day because I called DOS about 3 hours after the interview and they told me that it was already being stamped. His visa arrived in his passport 5 days later. You will get your visa. I feel this. You should be more relaxed this time and know what to expect. Bring everything you took with you for your first interview and whatever else you have aquired since then. In our case, all the CO wanted to see was the copies of my recent phone bills.

Middle East and North Africa	Do the Research... and whatever else!	QUOTE (~Flower~ @ Sep 9 2009, 05:42 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> This is the second time that I never did get to finish unpacking my points and putting the dispute into context as I was too busy defending character assassinations. I was going to write a whole post further illustrating my points on the subject of membership behavior and go deeper to the real meat of the issue with links citing examples since I was given written permission by the individual to go there as they opened themselves up to it and further stating they really didn't care what was said about them by anyone. However, I hesitated to continue asserting my first amendment right to freedom of speech because the owner of this site kindly asked to refrain from personal attacks and the perimeters of that are vague. I also know if I did go there it would further aggravate those members who are chomping at the bits with me thus further aggravating moderators and my voice would be drown out by being pissed on again. Yelling over the top of another is not an engaging discussion. It's like a five year old putting their fingers in their ears and singing "la la la", I won't listen to you because I don't like you or what you have to say. But this is just an example of what I was getting at. So I will try to keep this as loose as possible in order to finally put it to bed. So what I will say is whether anyone likes it or not the function of free speech under our government is to invite dispute as long as what you are doing is not provoking a physical dispute. Every idea is an incitement. The first amendment protects the right to advocate abhorrent ideas as long as it doesn't intend to incite or produce illegal activity or violence, or is hate speech that demeans others based on race, color, gender, ethnicity, religion, disability, intellect, or with the intent to cause fear or bodily harm or death - it has to be an immediate threat directed toward one or more specific individuals with intent to cause listeners to fear for safety. To answer LaL's question the reason so many people complained about it is because a member incited it. They made a call to action in the daily thread at the time to the muslima sisterhood on here to protect the alpha and their religious ideals as the thread was not a reflection of MENA even though the majority were MENA members and to guide sisters back to the flock. There was more to the story then they told and lacked the display of a simple sense of fairness and objectivity portraying only one side of the fight. The context they painted pertaining to the topic was over the top. It was this perspective that was used to weave their opinions and leanings as objective facts, rather than simply what took place before ALL eyes. That’s the very definition, if you will, of a “high school mentality” or group think of a wolf pack. While some valid points were made in regards to membership safety I respectfully disagree with the tone that was taken. They were able to turn the wheels of democracy and the squeaky wheel gets the grease but Islam is not a democracy. There is no room in religious to dispute God's law with the faithful only man's interpretation of it. This is why we have separation of church and state here. They were able to enforce through continuous complaint to adminstration and imposed their religious views stifling the freedom of speech of other innocent members who merely engaging their first amendment rights and disputing the controversy brought. That was the real injustice that was done. Furthermore this behavior alienated membership and drove some away completely and many to the point of posting from time to time. Even I found myself driven to the other site they all talk about to vent my anger. I suppose I deserve some of what I get and for that I apologize again but I am tired of the headache they bring me about it and have asked numerous times for the Administration over there to completely remove my profile and all content to stop this and further aggravation they bring against me. If the ones that brought the controversy to the group wanted to make a point they could have been nice about it and given their warning and left. We are all adults and we can make our own decisions. Perhaps if they hadn't of force feed their ideals down the throats of those newer members and had taken a kinder approach then just possibly those members would have stuck around long enough and found their way to the path of Allah the way as I understand it's supposed to be. Instead they choose to continue posting to the point of harassment mocking the group, and making unrealistic request such as we go start our own website. Not one of us ever went into their Muslim thread and did to them. It was completely uncalled for. This is the real root of why they all hate me and give me continuous grief slamming me whenever they see the opportunity to. It's because I challenged Islam and question their ethics and unscrupulous methods of what they did. And then they hide behind the skirts of Islam here citing freedom of speech while suppressing my free speech as I'm in the "minority" here and they don't want the truth of just how many non-mena, non-religious women marry "their kind", which is what the group was showing and bringing out a camaraderie at a rapid pace and this drew and friendly muslimas even joined which is why it drew the alpha wolf's scent. By doing what was done it only stopped controversy among that group and gave them a sense of what they did was right when it really wasn't. This is not a personal attack as it's an old issue for me that I was forced to let go. But if they're going to bring it up as a bad thing against me then they invite an airing of the truth of the other side. The vent that has been long over due. That's the rest of it. I've said my peace. Now peace out. Best post of the day!	Nagishkaw	Not Telling	Egypt	2009-09-09 17:56:00
