I am much better now after almost a year in America  because I now drive my own car after failing 5 times in behind the wheel driving test but when I got my licence I realized that everything would be good , now I drive to work , sometimes I drive my kids back from school as I used to do back home , I go shopping and I also enrolled in a city college to obtain a teaching credential .

Now I got a care provider job in a senior living facility , you are right I have no friends in my work place , no socialization at all , but I make friends with the seniors I love them a lot they need somebody to talk to same as my need to be talked to , I tried to find a job in any animal shelter because my husband refused to have a dog in the house but I couldn't find any , I am OK now with the seniors. Thanks for sharing your experience with me.

Thanks a lot. I will try hard to be patient for the sake of my husband and the kids although I missed my job in Egypt a lot. 

Well it's been 2 months since we came here, my two kids already joined public schools they are happy and already made friends , my elder son in high school  is busy most of the time the gym and the track field so he is ok , my younger son is in middle school he is happy with the school as they don't have any home assignment unlike Egypt he used to spend three or four hours doing his assignment till he fell asleep on his desk , but here he does nothing when he comes home from school just playing music or surfing the internet or making videos , but for me I don't like his school , I am in the teaching career and I am that sort of people who want to see their kids sitting at their desks doing homework.
Till now I couldn't find a job , there are plenty of jobs but not near where I live , I want a job near where I live , max.15 min driving not an hour driving as I used to be back home . So I feel a little bit bored cause I am a career woman, my husband wants me to work from home as he does, but I need to go out and meet people , I like talking to people and make friends . I missed my dogs a lot , I left them with my sister and she is so happy because they keep them busy most of the time my sister and her husband live all alone by themselves their kids are grown up and live in another country. Whenever she talks to me about the dogs and what they do , I feel jealous  cause I miss them a lot. Staying at home most of the time gets on my nerve ,and I have a feeling if I can not get a job that help me earn my living and talk to other people apart from my husband , I may think of going back home . 

Why these countries can't come in right now , do you know why ? These seven countries neither its citizen committed a terrorist attack in any country or killed a US citizen , while there are other countries which are not on the list some of its citizen committed terrorist attack and killed hundreds of USC  . The question now why the countries whose citizen killed American and other nationalities are not on the list , while innocent countries who have domestic political issues are on the list.

I already paid for the green card before travelingto USA. 
The visa itself is a temporary GC valid for one year .the stamp is just a proof that you entered the country. 
We will find out soon what politics do to us. Very bad indeed and very disappointed to have that feeling the moment you stepped in American soil 

Because of what is going on and people with green card were sent home or stopped from getting on a plane really scared me , I can not imagine after 18 months of waiting to join my husband then I find myself out of the country after giving away everything in my homeland : car , house , job ....

Hi VJ
I am posting now from my home in San Francisco . It was a very tiring and painful experience . we arrived at SFC  airport on 26 just a day before signing the executive order . They took my sealed package and passport and kept me for 5 hours and a half . Asking me where I was born , then of my both parents , my job in Egypt although all these information were there already . than I was asked to wait till they get an a reply , a reply means an order whether to let me in or send me back . and after waiting for long they gave us our passport and said OK you can go and collect your baggage , but I noticed that the stamp in my passport is faded and the term admitted is not there , while it is very clear in my kids passports , and inside the stamp the officer wrote IR1  D/S
I don't know what D/S means . Now after what happened the next day of preventing even GC holders from entering the country I am not sure whether I will get my green card or not  or even my social security.

Thanks a lot for your input , to my surprise when I went to Aramex to pick up my son's passport I found out that all the passports were there , they do not update the ceac.state.gov web site

As long as she doesn't want you to apply for AOS for her and she would rather go back home , that means she hates being there , and I don't think she intends to cause you harm , all what she wants is to go back to her home country , I think she doesn't feel safe with you there , help her go back home and don't worry about your house , it obvious that you didn't even try to talk to her about what bothers her or made her change that way .

The passports take 3 weeks to reach Aramix , if they already took your passports . BTW the ceac.state.gov  doesn't regularly update the website , we already got the visa in our passports and my younger son's status still in AP

Congratulations , I really love window 15 , people there are more friendly than other windows . The GC fees not $165 anymore we paid $220 , or may be we were overcharged.

As long as you are not a resident in Egypt and you don't have a residency stamp in your passport  then you can not apply for a spousal visa , you need to apply for it from your homeland . I know that you are in love with your fiance , and any advice won't help . I've been living in Egypt all my life and I know how Egyptian men think , your fiance would never ever marry elder Egyptian woman not even one year older than him , this is the Egyptian mentality . Even if you decide to get married in Egypt the Egyptian law never allow that age gap maximum 22 years . So give it a try and tell your fiance that you decide to relocate in Egypt and never go back to America and see what he will do . 

Hi VJ members
We are relocating within 3 weeks from now , and I want to enroll my 2 kids 16 and 13 in Schools in California , I need to know what documents needed from their schools here  to be submitted to the school there in California. 

Thanks Lord , finally I found a good home for my two dogs they will keep them for me till my husband get recovered and discuss the matter once more with him . Actually they offer to keep them for good.
