Thanks everyone,

things are going great, we've gone to Dinner at his brothers house here in my neighborhood, we went to Wal Mart last night, a little overwhelming, we were out and went to a pizzeria, he laughed because the pizza was so huge

he fixed my car window, what a husband, so sweet, We are SO HAPPY

thanks everyone for your prayers, and well wishes

I pray you are all with your loved ones so soon

I will keep you up to date, on life here, as soon as we start to do things around town

he wants to go to Sea World, being with him when he sees something new, its like watching a small child discovering many new things, its so sweet

I still can't believe he is here with me, we really waited a long time, but we are so comfortable together as if we were never apart

maybe because we spoke on the phone almost everyday, and when we didn't speak on the phone we wrote IM's to each other

but for the majority of the time while we were apart we spoke using Lingo

its such a good phone service, we can talk for 9 dollars a month, as long as we wanted to

if you're interested check out lingo.com

take care everyone

lots of love and wishes

Kathleen and Hassane

Hello everyone, hoping you all are doing well,

Hassane came home to me last night on January 1st,

Oh how amazing, what a reunion,

lots of gifts, some jet lag, and a monster sized Pizza tonight with the kids, he had a ball

and is now finally resting well

Thank you everyone for all of your help along the way, for all of those who personally helped me, step by step, that means You Richard, and Anie and Sheila,

and to all of you, you kept up my moral when I felt like I couldn't wait another day

I pray you are either happily with your SO or will be SO SO SO SOON

thanks again everyone

I wish you all the best and a wonderful Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year

Kathleen, Hassane

so, Lisa, r u going to wear that thing on yr head?

enjoy life,

Andreea

Okay...don't laugh at me...

I swear I saw Courtney's photo and saw her hubby's hand on her head...then I read Lisa's comment about wearing that thing on her head! (okay so i completely forgot the title of the post). I was thinking...why would she ask that! Then I realized DUH...Sorry, Blonde moment!

you're so silly!

oh oh oh, how can I forget this one?!!?!

"have you seen that movie, not without my daughter?"

I can't tell you how many times people have referred to that movie, Damn Sally Fields hehehe,

Every time I go to Morocco, or when a family member hears that my husband is Moroccan I have to hear about this movie, even If I say oh yes I saw it , they have to tell me all the details of it,

people are crazy

oh and my brother asked the Turkey question this Thanksgiving, I told him my husband doesn't celebrate T DAY I said to him, YOu do realize this is an American Holiday, he said well I thought everyone celebrates our Holidays, as if thats not adding insult to injury,

He could have just Duh'd his way out of it, but opted for an even dumber response, but truly he thought this, pretty damn sad, thats Jersey education for you

well I hope you all have had a good laugh, while I hide my head in shame

Lets see...........

Today alone I was asked

1. Do you lay down like in the movies when you pray ?

2 Why did you write Xmas, are you trying to take Christ out of Christmas ?

(which if you know X stands for Christ **i believe it is the greek way to write it** to many languages)

I wanna hear some of yours come on people MAKE ME LAUGH

I have a few more but they were from a while back.

SHARE PLEASE IT WAS A ROUGH NIGHT I NEED PLEASURE !~~!

The only thing that comes to mind right now is something that was said to my friend, during Eid,

someone said Happy Eidster to her, people say the craziest things,

I know for sure people always ask about the 72 virgins,

at work when I walk in the room people say DUCK, as if I carry bombs

my husband is a shoemaker and they asked if he made the shoes for Richard Reid, the guy who tried to light the dynamite he had in his shoe, while he was on an airplane

one guy at work says my husbands currency is Frankenscense and Muhr, and little gold bits

so as a joke , for his wedding I bought him a bottle of Frankinscense, and chocolate gold coins, and put that in a separate bag for him, his wife was so confused

if i think of something else i will write to you

Happy waiting

Congratulations

Days are moving fast Thank God...and I hope they'll approve her visa.

Good Luck to you and your wife crazy man

I pray all goes well

take good care

Kathleen

I just got the news less than an hour ago

he will be traveling home,

and calling me when he gets there so when I get more news I will pass it on

all I do know is they had a lot of questions for him, being that we had filed for fiance petition about three or more years ago,

Thank you everyone for your prayers and well wishes

this is so wonderful

WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Good Luck to everyone

Kathleen and Hassane

finally we will be together after all of these years

They have no reason to deny his visa, but they have a reason to deny my wifes..

Shpat be positive, you've done everything you needed to do,

Hello everyone, hoping you are all doing well,

just an update, my husband had his medical last Thursday, and he will have his interview in 11 days, wooohooooooo

take care

Kat

22 days until his interview..... what else do i do?

make sure alarm clock works not to oversleep on interview day.

actually, I set three... regular alarm, cellphone, and lil alarm...

Thanks I'll be sure to tell Hassane to do that, he won't even sleep I am sure of it

he will travel to Casablanca the day before the interview and stay at a hotel there, then have the interview bright and early the next morning,

I will call him bright and early too, I will not let him miss this appointment, not as hard as we worked and as long as we waited

this process is very trying and tiring

Hallo from Berlin,

Well, I have to talk long for the whole thing and what has happened to us. Visa got rejected due to short amount of years we have been married. Consular said you should have at least 10 years to get approval

I am kidding.

Lets see, I am trying to be detailed (architectural explanation)

I flew with Delta. from San Diego to JFK and JFK to Rome. Since I have been flying with them for long time I am a premium member. They upgraded both of my flights to business class. (That was one of the best parts)

I got to Rome at 8 A.M. and Mimche at 11 A.M. and we were going to fly at 5 P.M. to Naples but because of the strike for AlItalia everything was cancelled and we didn't know till 7 P.M. and then we took the train with two other American Guy and Gal and came to Naples and arrived at Midnight. (This was all Monday)

On Tuesday, She had Medical at 8:15 A.M. and we got there around 8 and everything was done by 11. X-ray and measurements (She had all the Vaccines in Iran) and 180 Euro of our money.

On Wednesday Interview appointment was at 9 A.M. and we managed to meet the 8:45.

Front door and Security and all that and then we sat and saw all the people from medical day.

There was this guy had his desk in the lobby and was checking applicants documents. After couple of people we met with him and he said where are you documents. I told him that I have submitted everything and embassy should have all of them and he had this question mark on top of his head.

We sat again and we were called for her fingerprints. She looked at the file and went through everything and asked for original birth certificate and the rest was fine till she said “go pay this $400 and have a sit” my turn to have a big question mark.

I told here that I have paid the $400 and NVC has received it but she said there is no record of it what so ever therefore I have to pay it again. She said if you have already paid the fee we can email NVC and ask them to email us back your record of payment.

I told her that I am not willing to stay in this city for another day and I will give her the website for payment. I didn’t have it with me and I went back to Hotel and got it and then went back to embassy and she logged on in my account and said, there is no other problems and wait for consular to call you.

Consular (SHE) called us and then flip thru documents page and ask couple questions and told us to pick up your visa today at 5 PM.

That was it. Visa in Passport and is valid for one year.

Congratulations everyone (Specially to Nimche and Mimche) (Thank you)

Any questions are welcome.

Peace

CONGRATULATIONS

23 days until my husbands interview,

on Thursday he should receive via DHL all info from my side, providing all sorts of proof, 16 lbs of proof, hehehe, so many phone bills, emails, receipts, all types of things

he has all pics of us, plus receipts, emails and letters, I hope we have enough proof, I can't imagine that it won't be enough, there are some things that I don't have like receipts for our wedding rings, but i never thought to have that,

well good luck to everyone out there, that is about to have there interview, and for those who are still waiting to be approved, hang in there, its a long process, but be patient, when you feel like you are about to lose it log on here and you'll see you are not alone
