~Jess~

We are both arabic and speak arabic with each other for the most part. Of course I have been in the US since I was 9. Where the funny stuff comes in is when you say a word and it means one thing in english and another thing in arabic.

A Kiss in eglish is a kiss, In a arabic kiss means the a female part **P**. I would be telling him give me a kiss and he gets the look on his face.

Since my Arabic is kind of Jacked up, he is usually the one correcting me and teasing me. But it is alright his turn will come .

LMAO i remember the first time George told me that! and when he was trying to teach me body parts he taught me nose and i cant pronounce the sound so when i say it it comes out

MANWHORE...........Well at least i try LOL

Yep i have been chking the warnings to see if they are updating it. things are really tense in these areas these days and i worry about going outside and downtown.

The waiver letters are going to be prepared with a lot of time and consideration, even if his lawyer does help us i want her to send us the letter she writes and i plan on putting one together incase i dont agree with hers that it is strong enough........we shall see. we need to get this i130 approved first.

Well other then not being able to understand a WORD my hubbys family says there is a word they use for these bread stick hard things and i think pretty much all snack like that, they call them ####### everytime they ask me if i want ####### i just turn red!

Well i have been in Lebanon for a mth...George's whole family is Maronite Catholic so i dont have a lot of insight on the covering beside what i see in the different places we go.........I have noticed it is a lot different then what people 'assume' not being here. It is a lot more conservative! Both his sister's daughters are college grads and his brothers kids are still in lower grade schools......basically education here depends very much on income! This is a very expensive country to live in, and the income in most jobs isnt sufficient. It is such a beautiful country and most of the women i see, i am not sure of their religion because not many i have seen are covered in any way. there are a few that are covered except their eyes and George has told me they are probably Saudi's. I guess it just depends on where ya go. i havent been to the mountains or to the east much, basically ive just been in these areas and maybe in warmer weather we will go north or east and i will see something different. im not sure........i know even in Christian families here women are expected to do a lot of things such as entertaining and things like that and the basic household things.....i am very different from this. i dont cook, George does the cooking as he is a cook for a living...i dont do dishes often he does them...i will clean up after myself and occasionally him but not often, i will do his laundry and take care of it, and i will vaccum and make things presentable, with his help! He is very accepting of this and has been for over a year, even with coming here which everyone told me he would change once we came back here.....he didnt...

Thank you all for your warm wishes and prayers!

if this is was a typical no drama case. the typical wait would have been possible 1 year. because of all the AR/AP those men comming from islamic nations normally face in the name of required "security checks".

some people can get thought it a little faster. those are people who pretty much have a normal case. this varies deponding on the embassy.. BUTTT.. your CASES... uhmmm

the factors working against you..

1. if you stay with your husband in a country for 11 months or more.

you MUST prove domicile. if you cant you just added alot of time to the WAIT you will face.

a ) you have NO job.

B) you need to have a Co SPonser.

c) the USICS already need 3 years W-2 from YOU and CO sponser.

d) this co sponser must make enough income for YOU , HUBBY and CHILD. not to mention the CO sponsers family. < this is a very hard task >

2. your husband is from islamic country. that right there is a requirement for ADMIN REVIEW can take 19 days to ENDLESS. I have seen people be on it for as long as 2 years.

3. the fact you have a waiver. add another possible year. you cant begin to get that even considerd til after the interview.

a) you applying the waivers. uhmm

4. involving another country- add MORE time to the mix.

like i said YOU need an immigration attorney your case is very COMPLEX. you are trying to make it WORSE by adding another country. really that is proble the biggest error next to not having a JOB!

if you want to see what a hardship is try researching a little more

pregancy is not a hardship, you in LEB is not a hardship, anything happening to him or family is not a hardship for him to come here.

the list goes on..

okay first of all, i come to these sites for SUPPORT not to be told no no this this that that........i HAVE RESEARCED, I DO know that they need all this stuff, I DO have a cosponser for him, this cosponser is the SAME person who sponsered him before and yes dont worry their income is WELL above sufficient.....WE ARE in contact with a lawyer and she DOES say it will take time but only about 2 to 3 years maximum. Us talking about going to another country was an idea, not a thought we were looking to really do, i came to get input on if it would make it harder. i guess you have proved your point that it would ehh? thank you have a nice day

The fact that the middle east right now is unstable is a major point working for you. There really isn't much waivers on this site or the other going through Athens and my case is the only other case going through lebanon. The thing with waivers is that they say that seperation is not a harpship so basically we have to pray that the person that makes the decision has a heart.

Thank you for your reply. yes the middle east is unstable as is the rest of the world LOL. Hopefully that will be a point in our court. I guess all i can do is hope that the officer has a heart.......who apprves these things anyway? i thought it was the discretion of the Attorney General?? yikes. lol

The Poverty Limits are actually quite low.

She has researched, see her posts.

Very few Immigration Lawyers are compotent in this field.

Thank you at least you have read my posts. yep i have researched ALOT LOL.....yea his attorney is helping us out so i guess all we can do is wait.............The proverty limits have no bearing to me, we have a sponser and co sponser and all the paperwork to go along with it

Good luck and ask them all the questions you want to ask. (can't say they will answer) But try to get as much as you can out of them. Face to Face is the easiest. The people at the embassy are pretty nice. Mustapha has not had any problems with them unlike other embassies.

Thank you. I am actually kinda excited to go there lol. It just seems like finally we are turning on the road that holds our future, while the past year we have had all detours while we were in the states........maybe one day ill be at peace.........

Yep i will ask them lots of questions, i am just hoping they dont tell us based on his past record that they cant even apprve the i130 that is my biggest fear......because getting that apprved i think could be harder then gettin the waiver apprved.....i knw that is weird to think......

Wednesday....the 22nd is Wednesday!I'm loosin it and I messed up the whole thread. Jess, I hope you guys dont go into Beirut on the wrong day becouse of me. Hopefully you are more together than I am!

Good luck Wednesday

LOL not to worry i have that date marked in every calender i own!! The embassy actually isnt located in Beirut......its only about 5mins away from us here where we are staying, it takes us about 20 mins to get to Beirut, because of all the traffic of course!

But thank you all for your support and well wishes! i will update as soon as we knw anything

Thank you so much for the goodluck thoughts! yes this is going to be a long journey, but i love him so much and i cant bear being without him.............Yes both of us have to be present at this interview........hopefully all will go well with this step and we can get the rest moving because at least if its submitted we have a chance, but just sitting on our hands isnt going to make us get back any faster! Thank you again i really am glad i found this site!

Desert fox has a point. normally the hardship has to deal with YOU.

you being with him is not a hardhip. even if you were pregante its not a hardship. you also living in LEB is also gonna make your case more complexed- like I said you could have potental have domicile issues.

one thing they asked me at my interview < USC> they asked me what would I do. if I had to live in my husbands country - if he was denied his visa. - I told them I would not get a job and I did not speak URDU life would be hard. the point is.. you are already establishing that you would not have a problem living in LEB. so think this though and dont make your case more complex. you realize its gonna already take a year at the least to sort this out.

see how many waivers are comming out of LEB and how long it took.

its taken us 1 year.

But you see i DO have a problem living here, a VERY BIG problem, i so dont want to be here, i want to be home in the United States, with my son and with my husband! I am seeking physc help because of all this and what it is doing to me..........I have read on the other site that USCIS doesnt even need to know i am living here............and some say it doesnt affect the outcome of the waiver..........we know it is going to be a lengthy process but that cant mean that we shouldnt try.........................what do you mean domicile issues? i am not pregnant at this point in the process but if i were to become that way there are alot of points around that, such as the hospital care here is expensive and the income is maybe 300-500 usd a mth, that isnt enough for anything, and the way of life isnt standard! The country is at a state of unrest and possible war could occur anytime because of all the tension between religions and other parties. it is hard for me to comphrehend being away from my husband, i didnt get married to him to be seperated from him! his lawyer is telling us that with her help we can work this thru and hopefully see the us in abut 2yrs or so, at least that isnt telling us flat out no way or that it will be 10 years

You arent doing your 601 waiver case any good by living in Leb. They are going to ask where is the hardship if you are living together. Hardships are supposed to based upon why it is a hardship for you to leave the US and live in the foreign country. Appartently there is no hardship if you are able to do exactly that.

There are plenty of USC spouses that go to be with their allien spouse during this! I have a child in the us from my first marriage and his father WILL NOT let me take him out of the country. I have a lot of other factors wrking for me. It isnt all about being together or seperate, its about the fact that I CANTT live in this country, and i cant be away from my husband and i also cant be without my family, and a language that i can understand, and things im used to, and health care that is up to standards expected by americans........a lot of other things play a role........if i werent with him they may ask if we are really in a loving commited marriage because of his other issues, i am with him however and i love him, and i am willing to do anything

First make sure you have all the papers you need and your application fee with you. Check and make sure you have everything filled out correctly. You are going to go in and give them the papers. They will look over them and most likely ( or at least that is the norm) tell you that they will call you for an appointment. If you ask them about how long that will be, you are going to get different answers from different people. Honestly, the time it will take varies. They might or might not take fingure prints that day. Make sure you have that fee also, incase they do. Just keep this in mind, the embassy in lebanon is better then most. You shouldn't wait there that long.

Your filling from lebanon. You probably won't need the I-129f. That for is for your husband to come to the US and wait with you while his file is being processed.

Once you drop off the papers, Get the I-601 and I-212 Forms filled out and ready. Wright your Hardship letter and get your proof together. Once you have the interview, they will tell you that you need to fill out these forms. You can hand them at that time the Waivers with all the evidence. These will be sent to Athens. (I'm still waiting on mine to be sent. It has been over 2 weeks) Athens Sorry to say drags its feet. This whole process will probably take about one year and 3 months to a year and half.

So it is impossible for the k3 to be approved for dh because he was removed and needs a waiver?? i wish we could just go back to the us while all of this is processed...........none of the people at the embassy speak very good english that i have had expirence with so far, and i dont speak arabic so i struggle a little, because i dont want dh to do all the talking and for them to think this is all for him............he had been fingerprinted while he was in the states, he has to do it again i guess.........is there a form for that? do we have to file both the 212 and 601?? we are willing to do anything and i am really hoping it doesnt take too awful long. i have a son from a previous marriege and his dad wnt let him come to be with me..........i miss him and i cant be away frm him for so long.......with all the fees we are paying for uscis it is impossible for me to travel back and forth right now..............will they take into consideration that i am here with him?? i am on a mult entry visa and since we didnt register the marriege at the leb con in ny we have to get it signed by the foriegn minister and sent there before i can apply for residency here..........yikes lol...........this is all so much. the change of everything and all this pressure. dh and i are together i understand that is important but i miss the states and my family thank you again

there is nothing stopping you from coming to the USA. you just cant bring your husband with you. depending on how long you been out of the country < 11 months or more > you will have other possible issues such as domicile issues. - so you really need the advise of an attorney. no one on VJ is qualified to give you advise in lu of having legal consultation. your case is very complexed

We are in contact with his immigration attorney that he was using during removal. she is assisting us with some of the steps.......yes i can go back to the usa anytime i want i am a USC have been all my life, born and raised. but that isnt my problem, while i dont want to be away from my family and friends, i cant be away from my husband! ive only been out of the country for 1mth and like 2 days so far.

Best site is www.immigrate2us.net for waivers, and when thinking of moving countries you need to consider which would allow you entry.

yes i am a member of that site too.

oh my goodness. that makes me feel like i am going to be stuck here forever!!!!!!! i could just cry! this all seems hopeless.

hello all i knw i am not to this step yet but i am wndering if anyone knows what Athens approval rate is?? and what the avg time line is looking like from there...............thank u

This is a lengthy process. He will have to work down there...I think it is the physician you are seeing. These papers are the for the waiver. You won't need them for the initial filling. My lawyer wanted 2500 to write the waiver. I told him to take a hike.

i am not seeing a dr here yet, but i am on the look. i need to find a dr that speaks english obviously....i am hoping we will be able to be back in the states within 2yrs but im not sure that is possible............one lawyer we talked to wanted 7000 just to touch the case!! very messy..........he has paid his other lawyer around 6000 and she hasnt done anything for him!!! so we will probably contact her a few times but other then that i think we will have to do this alone.......scarey....we are in a sticky situation and we were even told by some that there were no waivers, no chances for him to ever come back......the deportation officer told him there were.......he has a 10yr ban, i am not ready to live here 10yrs......so lets hope this waiver works!! Thanks again. Good luck with everything you are going thru and thanks for answering me, at least i knw im not alone it is helpful knwing that

I am not sure where they will process the papers. I think they process them at the embassy.

You have to apply and interview before you can apply for the Waiver. There has to be case pending. They will tell you what you need to do as each step comes. They will not tell you in advance. You might want to consult with an attorney.

Are you planning on staying there with him during the process? If so I think you can apply as living in lebanon. That process is usually faster.

The medical report of what effect physically and mentally this has caused is another thing you can put for the waiver. Are you guys registered as married in Lebanon.

And feel free to ask all the questions you have.

We will be registerd as married here soon. we have to take our marriage certificate to the foriegn minister and have it sent to ny.......then we get it back and i can file for my residency........so the medical report can be from any licensed phys? i want to stay here with him. he is my everything.......my family means a great deal to me and i want my son here but the law wont let him come...................he did have a lawyer when we were in the states and she wants 600 just to write the hardship letter.......plus the fees to send it and all that......the other lawyers i have talked to want thousands of dollars just to look at the case.......with all the money we are going to put into this we will be broke before we come back to the us........is it okay for him to work here or will that delay things because he is making money???....thank you!!

will the inital forms be processed here or are they going to send them back to new york?? we were married in the states and i am only here on a visit visa so how does the filing work? i am sorry to ask so many questions.............

well i guess it isnt really worth the money in applying for the k3 if he wont get it........do you think anyone can assist us in telling us what processes we will need?? yes George speaks very good english, i am hoping that this all goes smoothly....................

getting a physc report because of the serious emotional and health affects this is having on me, does that count and do i have to go to a special physc one they approve or any and just get copies of all the reports and the time line in my continuing therapy?

Thank you.

You don't have to file a fiance Visa. The I-130 is for marriage and usually takes about 2-3 months for the process from there. Or at least it used to take about to months. It is actually quicker to file from there. If you think his family is interfering too much, have him talk to them. I get the impression from you that they are reasonable people and they will understand. I am sure he knows how to deal with his family. It might be better if you guys can afford to get your own place. Dealing with another country will only cause you more problems.

Why don't you spend this time preparing your letter of hardship. Keep your self busy. lebanon is a beautiful place with a lot of places to go. Have him take you out. There are beautiful places by the water. If you keep stressing about this stuff, it will drive you crazy.

Thank you for the reply....we have an appt set for Feb 22 at 9am to file the application, the I130....what should we expect that day? any ideas? both of us have to be present.......when i called to make the appt after waiting on hold for 30 mins the man asked for my name, his name and the date we got married....and then said the time of our appt.....and told us to make sure we have everything. i am just wondering how long it will take from there and what to expect after that..........................so we dont have to file an I129f too?? this is all so confusing

hi and thank you for the replies. i am just curious why we would have to file for a fiancee visa when we are already married and we got married in the usa?? we got married while George was in removal proceedings and i came with him. its not that his family doesnt support the marriege. actually they do, and they are very loving. its just i am american and i am not used to how families work here and everyone wants to know everything............................we will stay here in lebanon but i guess maybe consider moving to a diff apartment. .........i am very confused

you have alot going on in your situation. I-130 and I-129f is what YOU need to file.

yes it sayes for fiancee but. its NOT jsut for fiancee. I think really since you have deportation proceeding issues, marriage... whole lot of drama.. you need to seek the advise of an attorney. good luck

yikes that is alot to take in...some say yes i need to file both some say no...when i called the embassy to make our appt to file they said we needed to file the 130 and gave us an appt to do so....in the states he had a lawyer but it is kind of difficult to use that lawyer when we are both living in Lebanon.......thank you for the reply

so how is the filing done for say Lebanon? where is all of the paperwork processed?? i am so confused at the moment....dh and i have been married since June, we got married in the us, we are going to file the I130 with the Beirut Embassy the 22nd is our appointment to do that....where will it be sent?? how are things processed like that??? and what about filing the waivers when we have to? will the embassy here be the ones telling us what to do next? do we file all the papers we have t with them?? we just moved here Jan 17th. i have a mult entry visa and can renew it, and in the meantime we are getting my residency.. but that wont be for sometime...im just so confused.

hi and thank you for the replies. i am just curious why we would have to file for a fiancee visa when we are already married and we got married in the usa?? we got married while George was in removal proceedings and i came with him. its not that his family doesnt support the marriege. actually they do, and they are very loving. its just i am american and i am not used to how families work here and everyone wants to know everything............................we will stay here in lebanon but i guess maybe consider moving to a diff apartment. .........i am very confused

i am wondering how if at all it would affect us if we decided to move to a 3rd country while doing our paperwork.....i am seriously having issues living here in lebanon especially because his family wants to be in every decision we make.......they are so loving and kind and i respect them but this is our lives and the decisions we make will affect us forever........anyway.....how would we go about moving to the 3rd country if it wouldnt be a problem, and how would we file our paperwrk in that country to cme back to the us?? we are about to start filing our 130 and know we will have to file a waiver after that is dne.............anyone have any insight please let me know thank you thank you......and any good ideas on what country wuld be good

WOW! I don't know what to say. I think it's great you moved to Lebanon with him. I'm surprised you were able to do so quickly. It must be really difficult leaving your child behind. How old is s/he? Who is caring for him/her while you're away? I don't know of a situation like yours, so I can't offer any advice. I will say good luck. I have heard Lebanon is a beautiful country. You should try to see as much of it as possible while living there.

As far as living with family/in-laws, the language barrier might turn out to be a blessing. Just smile and go about your business. You will pick up some Arabic along the way. I would think there are community organization where you could go for classes. Depending on where you live, you might be able to find a job assuming you have the necessary paperwork. There's also the option of volunteering in a church or school.

Best wishes.

it is very difficult leaving him behind. he is 5. he is wife his bio dad at the moment. i miss him so much but thank goodness for the internet....i will be going to visit him when i can...........they speak some english, especially his nieces because they studied at the American Uni of Beirut..........i am not sure about taking a job because i dnt want uscis to think i want to be here.......i want to be back in the us. Thank u for your reply

Actually I am suprised that his family doesn't speak english. do they speak French. Lebanon is a beautiful country, escpecially in the spring. Take advantage of the beach over there.

George's case is complicated. Start getting the stuff ready for the waiver right now. Go over examples of hardship letters. Leaving you son behind is a good example of what you need to put in there.

What area are you staying in right now.

We are staying with his sister...she lives in Rabieh. it is such a nice quiet area...we go to Beirut a lot because his niece is still in college...........they do speak some english, not the whole family but at least the ones we are staying with...the family gatherings are the worst part for me cause i sit there and am so quiet and they are all talking and going on and on and im clueless...dh fills me in usually, but it would be so nice to knw what is being said when it is being said ykwim?

i plan to get the waiver started as soon as i can see some examples. right nw i am lucky to keep the pc runnin long enuf to type these posts lol..........soon. we will begin to file the first papers as soon as they give us an appt. they are all filled out....Thank yu for your post.

Sorry to hear about your problems things can work out. Atleast your together that is the important part. Did you mean she is lesbian or a person from Lebanon that part had me confused?

i meant to say my hubbys ex wife is a lesbian, he didnt knw that fact at first...lol what a thing to forget to mention before you exchange vows with someone! id like to smack the daylights out of that girl!!

Thank u for the reply

hey everyone. just wanted to post to see if any americans are living here in lebanon? i have posted a few times and had stated i was mvin here to be with my hubby cause he was being deported. we got here about a mth ago. it is so pretty but i am having prbls with the lang barrier and his family. they are a warm and loving Christian family but things are tense sometimes nt being able to talk a lot. i miss the states and cant wait to be able to go home obviously. we will start filing paperwrk next week....and then we wait....hopefully nt for too long...i will post more when the pc is more stable. it likes to restart on its own and we dont knw why.....

hey i am gonna take my chances that the pc wont cut out again...the electric isnt all that stable here....

anyway George lived in the states for 4.5yrs and got married to a woman for convience i guess, his distant family set them up...however she was a lesbian and he didnt learn that until she started giving him prblms...they went to the interviews, then she began asking for mny, he told her no but bought her a car because she was in college......the lasttt interview the immigration officier bombarded her with threats and she signed against him....he admitted the convience and was sentenced to 6mths jail...they let him out on bond and let him remain for another yr and he applied for withholding...in that time while being prcessed i met him and we fell in love........his withholding was denied and he appealed to buy us time, we got married in ny on june 11, his appeal was denied in Oct, and he was ordered removed.....we went the first time when they were going to take him into custody on dec 7th..i couldnt bare them taking him so close to xmas so i begged the officer for an extensin...it was approved..30 more days with my lve.....i knew the 2nd time when he had to report for custody i couldnt go because i was so sad......well he went jan 4th...the officer immid asked where his wife was lol he told him i was home sick with terror for being without him....the officer went and talked with someone and came back, told him if he could pay for his own ticket they would give him papers to give the american embassy here and he would be able to fly with me....he of course agreed and the officer even let him call me from his personal cell phn to tell me he was comin home and flying with me i was soooo happy!!!!!......we flew here on Jan 10th..............we are living with his sister and 2 nieces....they are wonderful...i wish i knew arabic tho.......................we will file the i130 and then we will need a waiver 601..................................he plead guilty to marriege fraud and was told he couldnt come back for 10yrs without approval from the attorney general...................but the officer told him it was waivable..........i have a son from my first marriege i couldnt bring with me..........hopefully that will help!............i will write more when i can! hpefully we can get to know each other that would be nice.
