we got our noa2 on April 18th

I took out some "intimate" details but for the most part I printed everything to be sure. I am from the mind set that "more is better" and figured that in this situation I wanted to provide an over kill rather than "we need more info" to delay any of this already lengthy process. I mean If they get off reading chat logs.....LOL.....they have my blessings

Gosh I hope we get our NOA2 soon also! What a great suprise!!!!

Carolynritesh...wow....I think I vote for your hubby!!!! he's a poster man for good behaviour in my book.......

Ritesh is a big 'feeder' also - anything he eats or cooks, he loves to share with me...

Head massages with oil...

Complete body massages...

Never missed a day in 2.5 years of calling me, no matter where in the world each of us are...

Took 10 days off of work to be by my side in the hospital through two surgeries, fed me, bathed me, changed my bed pan in emergencies, yelled at nurses and doctors when necessary, spent a day in summer weather (in India, on a motorcycle!) traveling all over town to find my blood type, nursed me back to health for two months...

Hand washed ALL the dishes after a Christmas gathering for 15 people...

Stays in the bedroom when I need some time just to myself/gives me my space...

Always thinks of my comfort and happiness first when planning trips, nights on the town, etc.

Always talks things through and never raises his voice or temper...

Is calm when I am exasperated about things in India, things to do with this process, etc.

Cute! But it does kinda look like the first guy just needs to add a rope and a couple of steers to his routine and it will be complete .......... other than that as long as they don't drink too much alcohol theyre shouldn't be many black eyes and fat lips in the morning

Bank Of America has I am sure a large list of haters....LOL.....I am in the top 10. I can't believe anyone uses them still.....They are like a spider waiting it's prey..they lure you in with seductive props and wait for you to hit a B of A trip wire in the form of numerous little tecnical rules that are probably spelled out in all the tiny fine printed documents they give you to read. Than your A@@ is theyres and you have to pay theyre bail FEES FEES and more FEEs.........Wish they would change theyre name it's embarassing.....haha

They have alot of financial backing so they can afford to play hard ball with customers and they are very cut throat. There are much more customer friendly banks to do business with.

everyone has knowledge of what is "important" to them. For some men a women being a good homemaker/ mother might be most important and if he has meager means...her willingness to live with him unser the conditions he can supply might mean all the love in the world to him. I think sometimes a woman/man might believe they are "owed" alot of love and commitent because they have financially footed the bills, but if "footing the bills" does not mean the same degree of "I love you" to the other spouse/person....it won't keep them there if other things are missing.....or somethging like that...LOL

We will enjoy each other for the first few years and after we are sick and tired and bored with all they great sex will have while traveling and making a life together.....than we will try to adopt 1-2 kids.

I don't know any man who has left a relationship that he felt loved, respected, desired etc.....

It is hard for a man to feel good about himself when he is in such a situation that this process puts him into, no job or a bad job, out of his element new everything etc..... If you combine that and the feelings that his spouse disapproves or isnt happy you will have a crisis. Thing is it's sooooooo easy to have this type of breakdown in our situations here! It is almost the PERFECT setting for a failure when you look at all the possible things to set this dynamic in motion. It is HARD work making it work and a huge test of not only love but of commitment when the loveing feeling gets buried by possible resentments along the way! I know that I have my work cut out for me when my husband and I are together I don't even own rose colored glasses so I'll be using my mirror alot LOL.....seriously...when it comes to letting someone close enough to love them, it is sooo hard not to feel somewhat insecure at times and think they are up to "no good" I have known some couples (here in the US) that have been thru alot of stuff and stayed together thru it all! I mean stuff that seems impossible to tollerate.... If asked how they got thru it and stayed together they'll say it's because they NEVER....even mention the words divorce/breaking up no matter what happens. They promised each other NEVER to go there as a solution. They have always been able to find/resolve a problem without ending "them".

Relationships are a journey in personal growth that is certain! I love it and hate it both

My husband seems to believe that if you already went thru the marriage process in morocco and had your marriage approved there, that it will be faster because they had to investigate you both prior to approving your marriage.

Inchallah... Thanks Simple Male. Me, too! i hope it goes smoothly.

Hi Brnidokiegurl,

La bas?

You are right, one thing at a time... It's just all this talk of AP lately has got me thinking....

We are studying... i'm not there yet, going next month, inchallah.

But he has a list of questions that i think i printed off of here a long time ago. He is studying... we came clean on our Red Flags... doing as best we can.

i just want it to be relatively painless! [insert praying smiley here]

As always thanks for the insight and support!

Now I am confused LOL. With a stand alone I-130 Cr1 visa doesn't the applicant/USC still have to file an adjustment of status before 2 years of entry?

When he texts me with "Mrs. __________ (his last name), When we are IMing and I think he isn't paying attenton to me and I start to get upset...and he sends me what he was preoccupied with and it's a picture he just took of me with his web cam that he decorated with roses and twinkles and it's so beautiful it melts me . When he tells me if he has a good job here in the USA he does not want me to work, and I realise he is sooo sweet but has no idea how hard and expensive it is here. When I try to prepare him for how this culture is (so sexually provocative) so he won't be shocked by our lack of modesty and boldness, and I mention things that are almost every guy I have ever known's fantasy with girls (ehem) and he is shocked and says he never heard of that before and it seems bad for our culture! I feel like I am the luckiest girl in the world to find such a man because I did not think any guy in this world still thought like him still exhisted! Hope he isn't ruined when he comes here LOL

What were we talking about???????

but what if the screen names you see on his msn are "titiesjiggler and seemyrocks or angeleyedkitty" etc hhhhh

There's a saying "flirting is cheatings second cousin"

I think if it's a joint email address you give out it doesn't seem as bad as if it's a personal address.

interesting how many guys I thought were just friends suddenly dissappeared when I got married. I can't think of a reason to give out my email unless it's business related and than I wouldn't have to hide it. If your spouse says they NEVER chat online to the opposite sex "flirting" than believe them, but I don't think they should give out theyre email or msn, yahoo etc to the oposite sex. That seems too intimate. A forum is different or community chit chat seems harmless. But thats me

Feb 4th. I posted it as soon as I got it. Maybe the post got lost hhhhhhh

we have not talked about sending any money home to morocco yet. But I am hoping he can reimburse me for all the $$$$ I am having to go thru in travel and visa fee's first as well as our expenses together here after he comes to the US...before we think of something like helping others. On the other question tho......My husband is an accountant in his country. Does anyone know if there is any possibility of his getting work in the states in that field or what is reguired to become lic. here? [

I agree-- our family unit comes first, then the extended. I married knowing he would support the extended, and he made sure he's be able to to both before he came. He's been here 8 months and has yet to send anything home. he refuses to use our money to send home to them and feels it should be something "extra" that he does. He got us more orless on track now, and we're on the 3 or less year plan. So as much as I sometimes thinnk, wow, if we were to save asll that money he would make from a second job... maybe we could do this faster... at the same time I get it-- basic needs are basic needs. With two disabled adult brothers (cerebral palsy and severe brain damage), there is ALWAYS going to be a need there-- even if both sisters got jobs (one has one now, one is full-time caretaker for the others) there would still be a need. It's just about how to make it all work in the end. I'm glad to see he put us first though and cintinues to do so. He's not interested in sacrificing that. Anyway, culturally, it's your responsibility to your wife and children first, extended family second.

Dec 24th also and they recieved it a few days after. Have not recieved any news yet either. Martiniolive

I sent mine Via USPS "priority mail" conformation requested. It was mailed to the address listed on the gov web site 60680-1029. After reading all of the posts here I expected it to come back to me but instead i checked using my delivery confirmation number on my reciept on the USPS web site and it says my parcel was recieved in chicago 60666 on 12/20/07 at 10:45pm and delivered in chicago 60680 on 12/21/07 at 1:51 pm

I sent the I-130 only

Hey I just checked with USPS web site and according to the delivery conformation reciept my papers have been delivered...and that is to the proported bad address that some are getting returned...so don't know what to think about it now except that I must have done the right thing?????

Same here I sent mine 3 weeks ago and am still waiting to get it back with the "return to sender" so that I may resubmit it to the correct zipcode. I have considered resending a new package as well accept that I am short of originals haha...but might be worth the try.

Address is on the page where the I-130 is downloaded from.

Hahahahah thats the WRONG address..as I stated

I am in line with everyone else waiting for my I-130 petition to be returned to me so that I can resubmit it to the correct address. After all of my hard work and carefully following all of the instructions given by the USCIS on their web site!

I just find it cruel that the organization that is supposed to be helping USC's by giving proper information and guidelines is continuing to list inaccurate filing instructions/wrong address on their web site. Why don't the just tell everyone to hold off sending any petitions until further notice? They can just say they are so backed up and unable to process any more petitions that they prefer not to recieve anymore for a while. other information such as closed dates etc... is being updated daily but not the correct mailing address.
