Does anyone out there know of any websites that will explain the I-130 visa application in Arabic? I'm getting so frustrated constantly explaining and re-explaining all the steps. I find myself snapping at him when he asks me questions, cause I know that I have answered that very question multiple times in the last couple of months. I want him to educate himself on the process so that I can talk to him about it, and actually have him know what I'm saying to him. Does anyone else have this issue, or am I being completely impatient?

Is he fluent in English? Can you send him everything in english and then he can translate it?

That's what I did. I sent him everything in English and told him to use an online translator if he didn't understand something.

I can understand that it's frustrating. But try to take a step back when you feel yourself getting upset and imagine if you were going through this complicated process and didn't really understand the why's and how's. I remember when my husband first came to the USA and things that were very easy and normal for me were strange and complicated for him. I had to constantly remind myself that I didn't just know this stuff from birth, I had to learn it too, and I'm sure my parents got sick of explaining things to me while I was learning. I think it's a great idea to find something in Arabic for him to read, but also try to keep your patience and remember that this process is complicated enough for native english speakers to understand let alone someone who is not fluent.

I mean, in all honesty, look at VJ... this board was created because of how complicated the process is and how many times do we see the same question asked about cover letters or other equally as simple topics? And, the only reason those "simple" topics are simple is because we've been through it, but the people just starting are lost, nervous and overwhelmed. Be patient, explain things as many times as it takes and in the way that you would want someone to explain it to you. Believe me, tougher times will come and you don't want to start losing patience now.

Sorry.. I'm off my soap box now.

If you have time maybe you could rewrite the steps in simple English and phrases so that he can understand!

At least he asks questions. My husband has been a lazy one about it all, was quite happy to sit back and let me figure it all out. "I trust you to handle it" he says.

Thanks for the reply. I am truly not the most patient person when it comes to walking people through things like this, so I am trying to remind myself of all the things you mentioned in here. He is going to attempt to educate himself on the process, and I am going to attempt to answer his questions in the most simple terms I can muster, no matter how many times he asks them lol

oh no! Do you ever feel a little alone in the whole process because of that? My husband has been trying really hard to understand all the steps, but sometimes the language becomes a barrier for him. I am grateful that he is at least trying though.

If you have time maybe you could rewrite the steps in simple English and phrases so that he can understand!

I could definitely give that a try..so that he has something to refer back to when he gets confused rather than calling me and asking me to explain for the millionth time haha.

I saw this post and I thought I would add something also. Recently my friend filed for her husband and she got an RFE. So she sent him the letter she got and he said he would translate it into Arabic so he could better understand what else they needed from them both. He did the online translation to Arabic then back to English and he emailed her the translation. She then emailed it to me and this is what it translates too:

Egad, si man... that's about as comprehensible as a straight translation of Spanish to English on Google Translate or any of the other translation websites, sigh man.
