Tough_Era

Too bad then

I still can do some easy moves like top rocks, windmill, some six steps, some freezes..

but i can't do powermoves, like flare, airflare, i can't do nineteen and so on.

Do you dance now and then?

Popping and locking ROFL!!!!

Oh and what did you break when you broke your "knee?" Femur, tibia, patella, or fibula? Or a combination?

I broke Lesser trochanter down to shaft of fermur.

ah. a bit of a wait then.

Yep, I can't wait.

How fun! Do you have any videos of yourself break dancing? Were you ever good at popping or locking?

Hi Julianna!

Unfortunately, didn't record myself, and was not into popping nor locking but i think there's a video of one my birthday's friend when we used to breakdancing.. Everytime i think of it i sigh for that era of my life.. Now i feel old to do stuff i used to do..

What questions were you asked ?

I'll tell you when i pass the interview.

I think he just went for his medical and translation, not his interview.

My interview is scheduled on 25th Sep.

Wow! This is a huge collection than the one i have , thank you so much.

I thought this sounded super-sketchy myself, so I read it to my (Moroccan) husband to see what he thought.

He rolled his eyes and said that we Americans take things out of context a lot and that he was probably saying that by the time he is 40, they will have so many years together that she will be family and as precious and important as a sister, mother, and grandmother. He said that most likely it just means he'd never think of leaving her because of that bond and relationship.

I don't know how realistic that would be-- at least for me!-- but will refrain from judging what I don't know.

Zagray, here's some more advice:

1. Try to think of the interview as a conversation with a good friend who has come to Morocco and doesn't know about your fiancee. Tell stories. The more stories you can tell about each other: whether it's about how you met, funny interactions, or stories as a way to answer questions, the better off.

For example, when Y was interviewed, they asked "how did you two meet?" He could have said "we met through a mutual friend who worked with my wife," and been done. But instead, he said "Well, my friend, who worked with K, was invited to dinner for taco night at K's house with her roommates. I was in town from Italy, so I came along with him. The two of us started talking after dinner and we just hit it off, so we decided to see what happens."

The CO laughed about "taco night," and seemed to think it was a sweet story.

2. Don't lie. I heard a story here once about a CO asking if his family approved, and then if his family knew that his fiancee was divorced. He said yes. The CO then called his father on the phone right there and then and asked if he knew about the fiancee being divorced. The interviewee's father didn't, so he was denied for lying.

3. Don't just memorize answers without context or a story. They can tell if you literally prepped and memorized without knowing context. I think it's better to say "Oh, I don't know what her mother does for a living, to be honest. I know she used to be a nurse and retired for a few years, and she's doing something in a hospital part-time, but I don't know what" than it is to say "she's a patient relation specialist at the ER" but have no context. I also have heard of COs asking for things like the name of the fiancee's middle school. Who, in their right mind, would know the name of their partners' middle school unless there was a really compelling story behind it? In that case, I think it would be more of a red flag for someone to rattle off the name of a middle school than it would be to say, "I don't know. I know she moved around a lot as a kid, so she was probably in Florida or Texas but I don't know the name of the school" or "somewhere in Syracuse, New York because she spent her whole life there."

4. Respect the COs. They do their jobs and they might seem or be harsh... but their goal is to protect American citizens. Think about it: you might not be doing this for fraud... but it's very common for men from MENA and other places to target bigger older divorced women for a green card. If you love your fiancee, try to think of the CO as just trying to protect her and doing their jobs. They aren't out to get you unless you've done something wrong. They're trying to keep Americans from having to go through heartbreak and heartache.

Good luck.

I read your post 3 times.. and i will read it so many times.. i like it so much cause the way you explained things is awesome.. I understood how to pass the interview.. so i'll have to tell my story naturally and not just answering the question like a robot.

I'll be extra honest.

Thank you so so much.

I saw this coming (alot of other snide remarks in other threads against age difference in marriage and peoples religious choices) and never understood the hate that this member harbored when MENA had nothing to do with her journey. Ever.

Erika u feel like cool people

I really hope people have more patience with the differences of others.....

Have fun at CASABLANCA...I only liked the Mosque by the ocean there

BTW the lady dr was a nice choice if you still have not made an appointment!

Yeah, i have been told to choose the lady Dr.

So you didn't like anything else in Casablanca, only Mosque??

Well I think she's gone now so the topic can go back on track.

You have a lot riding on this interview. Why do you want to wait until the last 15 days to practice speaking English ?

I just need to get things done like visiting the doctor and translate documents.. i'll go tomorrow to Casablanca.

By the way, Zagray, in one of your posts (can't find it now) you had mentioned how your soon-to-be wife will become more like a sister to you after the point when she reaches a certain age. Sounds like a demotion from wife status. Does she know about this ?

Yeah i told her once that she's my will be my wife, sister, daughter, mom.. i will love her as wife, respect her as a sister and take care of her and give her the love she needs and spoil her as my daughter and she means a lot to me as mom, She's one of my family, my half, she's the closet human to me than anyone else.. cause none of us can hate, disrespect or get rid of one of your family, siblings, dad or mom. but the wife is someone more.. I hope you got what i'm trying to explain .

So what?

She hates a specific religion and race.. she harmed people's beliefs.. She offended some people here by describing them as disgusting thing to sleep with since they're old and chubby.. because i told the truth about how my fiancee is and how old she's.. So. she took advantage of what i wrote here to harm me with her words than helping me instead.. and that's not good at all cause we're not here to harm people and she attacked me when i needed only a help under this topic.. She doesn't even know me and i don't know why she acted like that.

This topic is about to know the tricky question i may be asked by the interviewer.. But she mocked at me with one of her post instead.

Oh well, I tried Zagray. It attacked us and yet one of her sick posts got to stay...never had my posts removed anywhere. Guess i have a lot to learn lol Anyway, I am blocking from now on.

One of my thread has been deleted a long ago it reached to more than 700 replies i think in less than 4 days.

and this Romanian lady's sick person.. and she got what she was looking for.

SO, what do you mean by you're blocking from now on??

***** Many (over 30!) posts removed for personal attacks and derogatory language, or quoting same. One user thread banned and further admin action taken. Moderators cannot read every thread on VJ. When you see personal attacks, derogatory language or anything else against TOS, please use the Report button at the bottom left of every post and the next available moderator will deal with it *****

Hey ma'am!

That Romanian should delete that video..

it's offensive video..

She hates Arabic people and its religion ISLAM..

She attacks this religion cause she's ignorant

She's a racist.

and maybe she's an unbeliever, with no beliefs, Empty soul with no knowledges.

It is not worth giving this poster the spot light...concentrate on what your need for your interview!!! GOD will show others their wrong ways.

Did you find anyone to practice your English with???

Oh sorry if i didn't reply.. i didn't see 3 posts.. i don't know how come i missed them..

I will not bother myself to look for someone who may help to practice English with me... it's ok.. i'll practice it more only with fiancee.. there would be no better.

i wish u good luck inshaalah

god inshaalah will be with u in this day

u have to know all things about her daughter they will ask u too much things about her

school hoobie her friends birthday her relation with her ex father

u have to know all small little things like if she have one day issue with her mom or father they will ask u more question about the daughter than u r wife

they did this with my friends

his wife was 44 and he was 20 his wife have son they asked him about his hobies which team he play his friends

all things

they will try to know if u have real relation or not

be prepared

the most important thing is to show theme u know all about your fiancee her family and life

i wish u good luck

NB / PEOPLE WHO POST BAD COMMENT HERE DON T DESERVE ATENTION FROM U DONT RESPOND THEME AND FOCUS ON YOUR INTERVIEW THEY DONT HAVE ANY THING TO DO THATS WHY THEY R HERE TO SEND BAD COMMENT LIKE THIS AND THEY SHOW PEOPLE HOW MUCH THEY R SMALL AND IMPTY INSIDE AND NOT EDUCATED

Thank you very much.. I appreciate everything you said.

TO THIS PERSON WHO POST BAD COMMENT ABOUT OLD AGE

WILL BE OLD AGED VERY SOON CAUSE SHE HAVE BLACK SAD HEARTH

Yep, I agree . I don't know what she's been through but she seems a hater.

I was not implying that you personally used this software or some other means. I am saying: if your spoken English is so weak that you can't complete the interview in a convincing manner - while the written English in your correspondence is passable or even fluent - the consulate may suspect something. You don't want that.

Of course the consulate understands that people may feel shy or self-conscious or nervous in the interview. Many people feel this way. But you really really want them to understand that you are indeed able to communicate well with your fiancee in spoken conversations.

So as has been advised by several people here already, get all the practice in speaking that you can, so that you can show them that yes, you can speak English well enough - and then it will not be a red flag. You don't have to speak perfect English - the consulate does not expect that. You can even ask them to repeat questions or explain a word you didn't understand. Just keep practicing your conversational skills, and you will become much more comfortable at it. Good luck !

You really did encourage me. i'll not be scared of the interviewer.. I'm just scared i may not convince him when i'm truly true., and don't want to make fiancee disappointed cause she counts on me.

I'll practice English in the last 15 days before the interview comes.. Thank you so much.

i mean age differences and how much kids she have cause i have friends in us who was in same situation

She has one daughter, my fiancee is 45 and i'm 28.

And how many grandkids too?

I asked you many questions and you didn't answer me.. am i supposed to answer you now??

is there big difference between u and your fiancee

Difference in what?
