  1. I do have a couple of questions. You can message them to me, if you don't wnat to answer on the post.

    1. Why did your husband need a waiver. what was his problem. Did he have an overstay or something else. Did he go through the courts in America.

    2. Are you also Lebanese.

    3. Do you guys have any children.

    I am trying to figure out reasons your case is taking so long.

    Good Luck. keep me updated

  2. It is rare to find someone going through lebanon. I hope your wait ends soon.

    My waiver was denied in 2006 in the middle of the war. So I gave up on it and didn't apeal or anything. I moved to lebanon and waited out the rest of the time. My husbands 10 years just ended in the end of august and they put us is AP after that. They told him everything looks good and he just has to wait. They told us to contact them if they don't contact us in 10 weeks. It has been 8 weeks now. So in a couple of weeks I will contact them. They information I have gotten from people here that have gone through this and someone is that AP takes between 1 week and 6 weeks. But you know that with AP each case is different.

    This AP has frozen our lives. We can't move forward, all we can do is wait to start our lives.

    So do you live is lebanon or the USA.

    Good Luck

  3. I have to go to an internet cafe to use the internet now. I don't have it at home. I can't check in that often. I am fine with the denial. At least now we can make real plans and move on with our lives. I will be in lebanon for about another 4 years. That is when we can file and get our approval in the future with our case. Thanks for the congrats guys.

    Jess we will have to get together when things calm down for me. Ramadan in starting right now and you know newlyweds, everyone and and there mother want to visit. Good luck everyone.

  4. Which leads me to another question......my sister told me that she just had a patient who was in the same boat as me and she told her (reminds me of the commercial for that shampoo....'and they told two friends, and they told two friends, and so on and so on.' lol) that when i die, if i am married in egypt, the law states that my estate is split equally amount his relatives and my daughters. I don't want that. I want my daughters to get the bulk of it. Can ya put a clause in for that?

    I'm thinking of hiring an egyptian lawyer 'cause these things are so technical.

    I don't know about egyptian law, but religiously inheratance goes to him and your children, If you have no children, to him and your family and if he is not around to your children and your family. But you can also write a will specifiying how you want your inheratance split. Another thing is the if you live in the west where you would have no recorse for inforcing the inheratance you can go by the Countries law. Again I don't know egyptian law states.

    Good luck ladies with the contract... :D My hbib just shown me my part of my mahr in the webcam last night... Wow surprised me... :hehe::blush:

    hmmmm.... i wonder if i will get a mahr? :whistle: not gonna ask abt that one.... he seems to be leaving most of this marriage and contract stuff up to me - if there's a mahr.... it's gotta be all him! B)

    In order for a marriage contract to be valid, there has to be Mahr.

  5. i've got pots of hot wax waiting for all of you.... i do it all day at my office! wooooooooohooooo... hoo hoo and all! :blush::lol::lol::thumbs::yes::whistle: yep, sure do - and ppl pay me good money to rip that hair out - btw, it's not just egyptians that like that ;)

    Your evil!!!you enjoy people's pain?. I think we should make the men wax. Trust me one time and they will tell we can be as hairy as we want as long as they never have to do that again. Can you imagine the screaming and crying from the Men? :lol::devil:

    By the way, trying telling an arabic woman that you use the raizer and see the shock and dismay on her face. :o

    They seen the hair on my arms and they didn't know how to tell me as we didn't speak each others language that it needed to be removed, so this just got my hand and took me to the sink and shaved it off. I guess it is usually waxed off but I think they where not sure how I would take that. I have never had my eybrows doen with a thread but I have now, oh lets not forget my mustach, yeah the threaded that off also. See I have a lot to learn and I try and learn something everday to better myself.

    Is this perhaps their culture and not their religion? As far as I understand it, waxing/shaving/plucking/removing/shaping the eyebrows is haraam.

    I've never heard anything that says you have to shave your arms either :huh: I think you're a better person than me coz I would have been offended and stopped them.

    The removal of the hair is a cultural thing. I think some sects believe that the Eyebrows are Haram to be shaped. I guess it depends which school of thoughts you follow.

  6. 100% insane.... how can someone go from being so rude to being so gosh darn sweet?

    this should be a no-brainer coming from you, sarah! :yes:

    Sowy to burst your bubble but I have never openly accused someone of fraud, called them drugs addicts or told everyone someone hates Islam etc.

    what you've cited is not the quintessence of rudeness ... maybe if you cogitate for a bit you'll realize that you are not without fault.

    I never said that I'm perfect or without fault but I never run my mouth and go around accusing people of things that I have no right to accuse them of such as the things I listed above. Maybe you need to go back and read her posts? Mmmk now.

    there is no need for me to reread anyone's post ... i have a very good memory! :thumbs: i also never denied that she is an extremely rude person. your statement was not about accusations but about rudeness, which you have been an equal contributor.

    this is the only forum that likes to use the term 'police' when your behavior gets called into question. there is a difference with being outright rude and making a truthful statement. sorry if many have mistaken the truth as coming across as rude, i forgot that your forum is 'do as i say, not as i do'.

    it's quite disturbing though to see a group of women who used to be so supportive of one another turn into a pack of metaphorical cannibals. i'm not the only one who has noticed, i'm just one of the rare few that will actually make a public comment regarding such.

    you can take my post here and spin it as much as you like, but the fact remains that you have not been a shining example of what your relationships, religion, and/or faith should in fact be.

    Thanks Mom!

    I think everyone in this forum needs to take a moment to thank gimy, shon, and charles for helping us have more clarity in our lives and for reminding us how to act. What would we do without you?

    Thanks Charles :thumbs::lol:
