Jenn- I miss you!

Peezey- I miss you too!

WOM- I love your pictures as usual... I don't know where you get them but they crack me up.


Sarah

I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee Outback! I had a blast! Went out for dinner, smoked argileh, and watch all the american idol rejects! Did you find a place?


MBP - Got a date set yet?

Peezey - I drove by that nail salon yesterday, it does look really nice!

Hope everyone has a good day!

Good morning all


Happy Thursday

Good morning!

This morning I have to organize all of my emails at work. Looks like I haven't sorted through them since the beginning of November - yikes! This may take a while....


Miss you too, Sarah! Sorry I missed you. We fell asleep shortly after Idol!

Have a great day, everyone!

JP reminded me it was a long time since we had a proper start to the daily thread...so enjoy everyone....






come out and enjoy!

I'm too tired for coffee. I am going to need a new time zone to keep up with the nightly chats Going to pack my girl's lunch, wait for my friend to come pick her up who is driving today, and go back to bed

Well- our plans are a bit usual for most people here. Texas requires a 3 day waiting period so we will be married within the first 5 working days of his arrival in the courthouse. Then AOS paperwork will get started. No one is invited. We re not announcing ourselves as married. It's just the legal thing USCIS forces us to do.

Then after Idir as been here a little while, settled in, gotten to know my friends, made some friends of his own, we wil have a wedding party. Maybe April or May- I have a couple of friends getting married and of course can;t step on those toes- esp since one has become a full blown bridezilla and our guest list is similar.

At this wedding party we will not exchange any vows, but will sign a wedding contract, have food, a traditional american style. cake, music, dancing. a mix of both cultures.

I do want to register our marriage in Morocco rather than do allthe running around it takes to get married there, so we may end up at the Mosqe for the marriage too LOL I have to look into that.

When we return to Morocco, we will throw a small party for family and close friends- but not a traditional Moroccan blow out wedding.

maybe that was more than you asked for JP?




I simply can't imagine why you are so tired this morning?

Sounds like I missed all the fun!

That's what I get for sleeping!

We crashed after Idol last night too. She-Who-Rarely-Watches-TV has now become addicted to Idol thanks to her husband who appeared on Cairo's version of this a few years ago. I think I have more fun watching his face then the show, though. It really cracks him up.

This whole name change thing is totally frustrating me. I want to get the AOS papers sent already! Now with Moh's job and him not on my bank account yet, still waiting for his social security card, I'm not sure how he'll cash his first pay check. I'm going to cross my fingers that the card will beat the first check and it will be a non-issue.

Can't he just sign the check over to you? Then you can cash it or do as you wish with it.

My head hurts. Is it time to go home yet?

Hey all, hope that everyone is having a good Thursday...almost the weekend!!!

Just a random question that has been on my mind ever since I found this site. Do you think that the consulate officers ever log onto this website to check up on people or to see the reviews of their consulates? Because I used to be on a pre-med board similar to this where students share their experiences interviewing at various medical schools, and I know now that the medical schools do check out these websites (and others like facebook and myspace) during the application period. What do you guys think?

I've heard rumors of people at their interviews being asked about things that they had revealed on VJ. But I don't know if these are just VJ urban legends...

i have it from a very reliable source that such isn't just a legend.......

ugh my DV-R didn't record idol last night!:(

good morning everyone. hope you stay warm.

Yea, it's my Friday! Three day weekend

How on earth, unless you use your full first and last name, would they even know it was you posting? I think it must be an urban legend unless someone willingly offered up the posts as being theirs.

is a first name needed? age, location, listings on the timeline. it's not difficult to match up who is who, is it? add in a first name and a pic and someone's job just got way easier. then just a simple search to see what they have been talking about. and no, you don't even have to log in to do this....

Well, not to scare you or anything, but I'm pretty sure you're the only Bridget from Boston who will be filing for a spousal visa for Usama from Egypt who got married on December 28, 2006. You see what I mean?

That's true.

Why would it matter?

I mean, they now most about us anyway, and if they match their files to some posts here- what new would they learn?
That people are waiting for their visas?

And I seriously doubt that the staff at USCIS has nothing better to do than scanning the hundreds of immigration forums that exist to find specific posts...
Maybe- if they suspect fraud, but even then- I can't imagine that it happens on a regular basis.

I CAN, however, imagine that some IOs read on immigration forums. To see what's happening. Maybe to find fraud.

Well for starters they'd learn that my digestive system does not do well when i eat eggplant.

Now that's a damning revelation if I've ever heard one!

I'm pretty sure they'd be able to track my menstrual cycle too.

Guess I missed a bunch of drama yesterday, while being happy about the new car!

I might even be happier today because the sun is shining, the roads are dry and the temp is going up . . . and I am going to Cairo at the end of February, LOL!!!

I dunno why but it just cracked me up when you posted about that yesterday Sorry!!!

and factoring the lack of manpower to handle the huge number of cases- i doubt they care that much.

perhaps that's some of the hold-up?

that everything is going sooo slow because they get caught up in the drama of VJ ????

okay crossaints and coffee for breakfast...any one hungry for lunch

Okay, I have my homepage set to Google. All of a sudden when it comes up the font is huge!! I don't know what's going on as I haven't changed anything. Anyone know how I can keep the page from being read at 100 yards? I've looked around but can't find any setting to change.

LOLOL This is what my eyes caught first, I thought, sheesh, so much for the ticket to TX I bought!!! j/k!!!!!!

YUM!!! You *had* to post that, didn't you? Now my beef/veggie soup seems so unfulfilling!

hehehe, but it isn't so far from Dallas/san Antonio or Louisiana that some others couldn't drive over!!!

MMMMMMMMM, I haven't had a proper wake up thread in ages! j/k, thanks sweet pea!



I'm so excited for you! When is he coming?




I simply can't imagine why you are so tired this morning?
