Finally we got approved yesterday

[doodlebugg 10]

The real test isn't the USCIS, it's the consulate. Good luck there, if I remember right you are going to need it.

Do they contact the exwife who got you here at all? I always wondered about that. I mean God forbid my husband did something like this I would hope the USCIS would contact me to ask what really happened. If not they really need some revamping.

Bridget, relax please . you also can say congrats so i can be able to say it to you later on when you finish with your spouse visa. thanks guys

My spouse is here, thank you, and if we God forbid split up he'll be headed right back to Egypt thankyouverymuch.

He came here from Egypt because he married a USC. He fell in love with a gril from Egypt while married (cough cough), divorced the USC as soon as he was able to petition legally for the Egyptian and now got approved. I would hope that this would have sent a huge red flag to the USCIS and that they would have contacted the ex to hear her side of the story but I guess that's just wishful thinking on my part. Sorry I'm b!tchy today and not politcally correct. This stuff just rubs me the wrong way.

Scared with my spouse? hahahaha that's a good one! I have never ever been scared about my spouse in the least bit, we are very very secure. Yes you met in the US but you were not here forever at that point, you got married and got a visa from that marriage. The whole reason you were able to petition for your new love is because of your ex wife.

No doods they don't contact the ex-wife. Once the man gets 10 year card, he can petiton for another. If he has citizenship, then he's on the fast track.

well as with most cases in Egypt months and moths of AP. No one knows your past intentions but you, and on paper it does not read well. It s a hard process and there is no way of knowing what is to come The consulate will now review the papers in their hands.

[Ihavequestions 419]

No worries gals, I guess we don't know the whole story so the best we can do is say congrats and remember karma is a funny creature

Actually, Karma - you know my good friend, yeah, she's a beyotch!!!! :rofl::rofl:

We don't know the whole story, but those of us who know know that men and women in Egypt don't talk "just as friends."

Kada, kada, kada...

I do have a bit of a karma story to share. I know an Egyptian woman who was totally shat upon by her ex-husband. Short version: They got visitors visas, he did talak before they left Egypt, she travelled with anyway because their intention was to overstay their visas ("What? Everybody does it!" Yeah, that's what she had to say about it...). Ex finds a woman to marry, for a visa of courrse, and puts her on a plane back to Egypt. She's been here for six years while he stays in the States with their children, after divorcing wife #2 after he got his papers straight. Anyway, she's applied for a visitor's visa twice now and, of course, has been denied twide. Well, she just married an Egyptian-American (who married an American woman and divorced her when he got his papers) and, taban, he applied for her visa right away. Her plan? This is what she told me: To divorce husband number 2 and move into a house on the same street as her first ex, the one who divorced her and shipped her back so he could get a visa. One of the things she got out of her brief stay in America was a deep appreciation for girl power. Is what she's doing right? No, of course it isn't. But it's her way of getting them BOTH back.

I don't get why she'd want to move into a house on the same street as her first ex. Is it to be closer to the kids? And why on earth would she leave her own children in another country?

No wonder I had to wait a year and 4 months for my husband to get here.

Maybe she'll move on the same street as her first ex to spite him. That's the impression I got. I suspect, however, that the plan is to remarry the first ex because she's Muslim and they can't marry again until she marries another.

Why did she leave her children in a foreign country? Because they were divorced and he got custody of the children, which is his right as an Egyptian father. Why would he not keep them in the US with all of the rights and benefits that come along with it.

Why did she do any of it? Because he told her to, that's why. Being a good Egyptian wife, she does what she's told.

Of course this is a perfect example of why people wait and wait and wait for their spouses. The fraud rate is high. The fraud rate is high because the desire to "go to America" is high. Sure, some want to do it for the economic opportunity, but a larger percentage of people, here in Egypt anyway, view a citizenship and living in the US as a status symbol. If someone couldn't make it into doctor or engineer school (the ultimate status symbol for any parent), the next best thing they can do is go to America. In a place where the neighbor's opinions matter, a child who is living in the US and, taban, sending money home as a symbol of their success (just stand inside of a money exchange and see the amount of US dollars and Euros that are converted into Egyptian pounds and you will understand how sending money home is expected) is almost as good. It doesn't matter that he had to lie through his teeth and/or use a woman to get there, and it doesn't matter that he's living in a closet with 30 other MENA men while he works 60 hours a week in his minimum wage job. What matters to his family (because the neighbors hear all about it) is their son is in America.

This woman I know doesn't seem to think there will be any waiting outside of normal processing and that she'll be in the US in December.

hi aymsgirl

i tried to send you msg many times to thank you but it always say your inbox full

i hope you got it here thank you for your letter

good luck

I thought in his original post he said he met and married the first wife in the US. They had troubles and divorced after 6 years. He was a LPR then. Then after he became a USC he went back to Egypt and married someone that he knew from childhood.

I don't remember him saying he fell in love with the girl while he was married to the first wife????? I was also under the impression that he was an LPR for awhile before he got divorced, since he said 6 years.

Did I miss something? Cause if he started an affair with the current wife, while still married to the first, that is very, very, WRONG!

Karma indeed!!!!

[notime4haterz 0]

How very interesting....

Lets take a poll:

How many would wack it off??????

Honestly, unless I had children with the guy, I wouldn't care. Because if someone does wrong, it comes back on them. And usually the bad thing that happens to them, is a million times worse than what they did to you.

I would pick myself up so fast and find myself a better man, he wouldn't even remember I was ever married to him. I would not show him one ounce of anger. Bad people feed off of anger. They love seeing other people get angry.

And correct me if I'm wrong. I was still really young when the whole Lorraina Bobbit thing happened. But didn't her husband end up getting a surgery and becoming famous? I thought I remember something like a fan club of women that wanted to be with him after the incident (perhaps out of pity)?

[sereia 0]

HAHA yeah! Can you imagine if you really did whack it off, then your husband gets famous from it?! He writes a book, appears on all the magazine covers, gets interviewed by Barbara Walters, and makes millions of dollars alongside his new MENA wife.....all while you rot in prison? ooooh not the revenge you thought of!
