Hey all. Glad it's hump day, will be happier when it's Friday. The heat is killing me. Out in it for four hours. The money is good though, don't want to pass that up. How's everyone doing here. Just checking in. Sure you guys missed me...that was a joke, don't take it seriously.
Have a great Humpty Dumpty Day!

Oh wow, where are you from? I think you have to go meet your fiance at least, otherwise, Immigrations will thinks it's fraud. How did you meet her? Online? Or are you from there? IF so, did your family put you guys together? Just curious. How long have you been in the U.S.? As far as the I864 or I134 co sponsor, you can have any co sponsor you want as long as they at least offer to support your fiance incase you can't for the next ten years . And of course, you have 90 days to marry her here. But if you are filing for a K3, I'm sure you would have filed the I130, right? Otherwise, it would be the I129F same as K3 application, but for fiance. Does this help you?
hi i meet my fiance before and i wana go get marrued over there but my quastion is when i go to the empassy i have to have the sponsor papers with me right? and i dont make enough money to soport her so my friend will do it for me
There's a lot of ifs, buts, and what's here.The reason i asked all of this is because depending on your status here in america will depend on how fast you will get your future wife here. Co sponsor as well as sponsor isnt' as easy as you think. They want the last three years, not just one current year of taxes. Also, it depends on your past relationships. Are you divorced? If so, you will need divorce papers. If your a greencard status, that will be a different catergory and time frame than if you are a U.S. Citizen. There is a lot that goes with this filing. Don't expect your wife to be here for at least another year, that's if you are married to her now. And if you consider Proxy Marriage, you being here and her being there, it won't work for Immigrations. You will have to go to your country, marry, have proof etc. Maybe you want to get an attorney for your situation?

Good point about American men leaving their wives coz they don't want to take care of children or they want another woman, etc. Happens all the time. I think that all of it's humiliating, green card or american man leaving wife, either way, the woman gets hurt. Now there are also women who do the same, and the men get hurt. I think life is a gamble, no matter which way you go.

Wow, Kelly! How long has it been that your brother in law has been waiting to get the green card? He's been here for awhile, hasn't he?

You know these I134 and I864 and the povery line income sometimes doesn't even make sense. Amman took my income but for the AOS, they said no and I make over what is mentioned on the poverty income at the USCIS site. So it sure is confusing. Someone told me to take the numbers listed at the USCIS and times it by 125%. I still came up wtih enough money for 3 in the household.

MOJO LUCK

Tammy, listen. Find a co sponsor, then u will be okay with this, i already went in with one coz i knew my income was a bit low do a severe car accident that layed me up for several years. Also, to prove the validility of ur relationship, make copies of your chat records, any phone calls made to him showing the dates and time talked. If you used a phone card, that's not good but maybe they have record of all your phone calls to him with dates and times. He should have a photo album, copies of the airline ticket or receipt showing your entrance to jordan, also a copy of your passport, anything else you might have together. You have to show them that you have been in contact with one another showing the love and connection. IM me if you wish, I would be happy to help you.
For him to be investigated would be normal now, since they didn't believe he married you for the right reasons. So prove them wrong, let them do their advanced whatevers and wait patiently. I know how hard this is on you, but Godspeed, it will happen. Just cooperate, don't give up, don't show them that you want to give up. Just keep going and give them what they want.

Good luck, Tammy and Wendy! I will be in the slumber party cheering you guys on! When my husband interviewed, he went in at 8:00 a.m and out by 10:00 a.m. It was 12 my time (CST) and out 2am my time. Hope it goes like that for your husbands.

Not intended for you Becky.

Oh here we go again! It seems everytime someone posts their sorrows or problems here, someone gets testy. First of all, step back and think, put on that other persons mocassins for a minute and feel what you would feel if this were happening to you. Of course, there are always two sides to a story and we appreciate both coming forward and stating their feelings. But the marriage is falling a part and when this happens, sometimes other negativity gets in the way and makes the matter worse. I think all Jackie needs right now is support or prayers. Mohammed needs support and prayers. Both are in conflict right now. We are women and tend to support only women. Let's support the fact they are two people who were in love, one from the MENA area like our own husbands, and that he is married to an American woman like we are. I learned from an American Indian one time while visiting the Wisconsin Dells. Don't judge a person until you have worn and walked in their mocassins. So hopefully, some of us can stop feeling the "shame on you" and just listen to them vent.
My prayer: IN ALLAH, MAY JACKIE AND MOHAMMED FIND THEIR WAY, FIND THEIR ROAD THAT WILL BRING PEACE AND HAPPINESS TO THE BOTH OF THEM. KEEP THEM FROM EVIL AND SHINE HIS HEAVENLY LIGHT UPON THEM, SO THAT THEY MAY OPEN THEIR EYES AND SEE THE LIGHT OF ALLAH (GOD) THROUGH THEM. WHEREVER THERE IS HATE, LET IT BE REMOVED BY THE ALMIGHTY ALLAH AND BE REPLACED WITH LOVE AND RESPECT.
Jackie and Mohammed, I hope you make the right decisions together and please, give respect to one another.
God Bless,
Andrea

Have an awesome reunion! Congratulations!

My only qestion is why does a husbnad feel he has to do this? Is he selfish and taking advantage of his wife or do they have some disconnect in what they value?
Good questions, but I have no answer for you. The only answers I have gotten is that I would be mad, which is a big lie. Maybe this is how he sees it. Maybe there is something more that has not been seen or told. But when someone lies to me, I feel they are a snake and hiding something.

I want to add that it's not this woman/man or whatever she is that is posting this sad story of her mishaps with the man she loved from Jordan. It's Jacque's relationship that shook me up. Of all the people, I really though her's was true to be. And because Jacque and I are the same age, come from the same town, born in the same hospital, had husbands from the same country and around the same age difference, it's a bit scarey. Her marriage ending and her conclusion of possibly it being from the green card is what scares the hell out of me. Some of you know her personally here, others dont. Which means some of you possibly met her husband and thought this was true to be love. So this is where my disappointment comes from. And then it ends when citizenship can be obtained from him? Maybe it's a coincidence? Maybe it's over something else? But his reaction and his immediate exit tells a different story. So Im not concerned about this woman and her loss love from Jordan. I feel for her, really I do. If she is telling the truth, she took a lot of pain! The reason all is posted here, because it was moved to allow Jacque's post for people who wish to give their sorrow for a great loss, both in love, time and effort.

I don't mind my husband sends money home to his Mom, but I don't think he needs to send money home to his sisters and brothers who are married and both have jobs. Life's a ###### sometimes but it doesn't mean we can or should support the world with our little paycheck. It didn't bother me about putting the cross away. My husband wants me Muslim. That's the bottom line. Now Jesus is strong in the Quran, too bad a lot is missed there. He's one of the greatest Prophets according to the Quran and will return in the end. So if that is the case, He should be highly respected as the Prophet Mohammed is. The only thing that really bothers me in my marriage is not being sure he married me for the green card and lieing. I hate liars! But he always thinks I'm going to be mad if he tells me the truth coz he knows I won't agree on all. But also remember, the ME man is used to doing things on their own, even some things their wives don't even know. Also, my husband was single before, now he is married, everything takes an adjustment. I've come to the conclusion, that maybe I should interview for the green card with him on September 5th and then, if he married me for the green card, he can leave. I have told him this, no secrets here. I told him don't wait around 3 years for your citizenship, I hate to be used. Wait 5 years and you can go for it on your own. So those are my decisions for now. I know what's in my heart. I express it freely to others. But you can't keep someone with you who doesn't want to be with you. I'm not saying that my husband feels this way. What I am saying, we all have to take the risks. WE got this far, so let's complete it. Also, we really don't know the entire truth. I hear that if your husband doesn't want you to live with him in his country, then he married for a green card. That's not true. Some of these men have small jobs that don't pay much and can hardly support themselves. They are also afraid that we will not adapt to their culture and lifestyle and they know ours very well and there is truth to this. I know this culture way before I married my husband, and I know how important it is to them to send money home to help the family. Now Jordan has gotten very expensive I hear. sending a 100.00 only give them 70 jds. That's #######! So if my husband wants to send money home, do it. He does pay half the bills here for now. Do I count on him saving enough money to buy a house? No, not if he is constantly sending money home. Obviously, he likes to save money on the side in his own secret pocket to send home. So when it comes time for us to grow beyond where we are now, I really can't say if he will be willing to sacrifice sending money home to buy a home here.
I met a Bosnian Muslim at the gas station a few months ago. He said, I am Muslim and it's my responsibility to help take care of my mother/family. So he and his brother put 500.00 a month together and send 1000 home to her every month.
Well, getting closer to the AOS interview. I guess the rest is up to the couselor. I will trust in God enough, that He will shine or rain on this interview. It's in his hands!

You know my fiance also spoke of sending money to his family. He is not here yet and one time he told me . You know what ? I said what? the first pay check i get i really want to send my parents to mecca for prilgrimage. Do you mind? I thought to myself. All the sacrifices i made for him and he is thinking of his family first that isnt even sending him money for schooling in this other country that he lives in
. This past few days has made me think alot about things especially after so many posts about fraud. I broke up with him about one month ago. I really think i made the right decision. I think i would of been another stitistic in some book. Our petiton got denied about one year ago and maybe it was for the best.
That's right!

I have to say, reading all of this this past week has made me think alot about my marriage and my life with my husband. At times, I think my husband really, truly loves me and other times, I think he's doing this marriage to support his family back home and get the green card. This morning, he woke up crabby. He hasn't been able to sleep all that well, waking up at odd hours. Maybe his conscious is not clear, like sending more money to Jordan behind my back. Anyway, I have this cross that's been special to me, left it on my bed board along with the rosary I bought in Jordan on my first visit. He said this morning, THROW IT OUT! GET RID OF IT! I said, what you think it's keeping you from sleeping? He looked at me and said, I'M NOT CHRISTIAN, THROW IT OUT!" I didn't throw it out, even though all is in my heart, figures don't mean anything to me, I just kept it there to ward off any evil thingys, I put it in a drawer. So, it seems as time goes by, he keeps changing. I told him, if you ask me to get rid of my dogs, it will be you I get rid of coz im not changing my entire life for you. Remember, we brought them here, and yes they left their families, awe! But, they didn't want us to really live there. So really, they benefited more than we did by coming to America.
Peace

Why hate agreeing with me? I, and a few others, know something lots of other women here don't know and many don't want to hear.
Green-eyed, what is this suppose to mean? I mean, if you know something other than us american girls on MENA, can you share it with us?

Welcome back JP! Jackie, I am still mourning your loss. I can't even begin to tell you how much it's effected my life.
Why does it seem Egyptians/Arabs don't like dogs , and does anyone have any experience with how your SO adapted to your dog once they came.
in Middle East and North Africa

When my husband was in Jordan, he would always visit with my two min pins online. When he came here, he was ok and then he started not liking their noses to touch him, or their tongue, etc. He also stated he did not like small dogs and wanted me to trade in my two min pins for a large dog. One day I came home with another min pin in which i rescued from previous owners who just wanted to get rid of him so they could get another chihauaha, or however u spell it, lol. I still have my three and he wants me to get rid of at least one. He said the average american family has one to two dogs. Now Im a professional dog walker/pet care, etc. and I sure do see alot of american families with 3 dogs. Anyway, they dont' sleep in the bedroom anymore, that's where my husband prays, so no way can they go in there. I miss them in there. so they now sleep with my daughter and I also board a lot of dogs too. I get good money for it and he doesn't seem to mind that. He doesn't like the small dogs. As long as they don't sleep with him or touch him, he's cool. It's too bad though, I feel like I have angels around me all the time. So I don't believe at all in the Hadith. I believe the Hadith is man written and it contradicts the Quran.
Kelly, you have a special husband. It's great that Soyfan loves the dogs.
