some people define jealousy as a true sign of emotion and love not just another of way of control! arab men if they re in love they do get jealous about their wives! and they want their wives to be jealous too!! its the culture, and i guess if u wanna marry someone from this kinda of culture u kinda need to embrace it! as it is essential. one more thing if ur husband/fiancee isnt jealous at all it only means too things, whether he trusts u an incredible amount or he doesnt love u at all! or doesnt care and hes just using u! i know those words must be harsh! thats my experience anyway... I thought my simo was controlling by his jealousy and i remmeber once we were walkin in the city centre in london, and this guy winked at me, and simo saw it, he got really red and angry he went back pushed the guy in an empty alley and was about to break his teeth, while saying you!! HOW DARE YOU DO THAT TO MY GIRL!!! to be honnest i got scared, but at the same time i knew only one thing that if he didnt love me he wudnt do that, he'll just ignore it.... few months down the line, i complained to simo about his jealousy, he understood it, and he gave me EXACTLY what i wanted, and guess what, i wasnt happy i wanted his freaky jealousy back, bcoz he was tooooo damn protective and sexy at the same time! Jealousy is not a mean of control, is just that arab guys take too much pride in their women and they just cant stand if other men around them!! Jealousy is another way to express love....well at least in arab men's dictionary!!

peace alllll

congratulations!! how did u find out? my fiance's passport got picked up yesterday!!

many thanks everyone! passport was sent to the embassy so waiting on the visa to be delivered!

Well we met in Scotland! mmm was soo romantic!

hi there, I think we re in the same situation! my fiance just got his visa from london. Hes moroccan and on a student visa in the uk. hes been living there for five years too!! so Technically yes you can! it will all go wrong, if ur fiance's uk visa expires before getting his interview, if u see what i mean. hope this help

many thanks

Thanks so much guys. Now i have a little bit of hope and a little bit of uncertainty. Unfortunately, his visa expires in Mid Jan of 2009, but he is going to apply for extension since his finals aren't till the next month. But i'm thinking the copies i sent of his passport show expiration date in january. ahhh...i know its better to be patient... but with everything in the air..not knowing what's going to happen is really scary I haven't seen him for 2 years :-(...thanks again...

and congrats on ur fiance getting his visa. Where did he get his visa to?

oooooh I seee. Well my fiance just got a two years work permit from the UK home office bcoz he just graduated! soo his visa is valid till August 2010! soo that was not so bad. as i said the only uncertainty is if hes uk visa expires then ud gonna have to put a formal request to transfer ur case to SRI LANKA. but between us, u wudnt want that, as the London embassy seems to be pretty smooth and laid back. and he got his visa to the USA where we gonna be happy forever!!!

hope this helpss

Welll! before y'all jump in and start preaching, why don't u try to put yourselves into the guy's shoes!! you have no idea of how hard it is being on a Student visa. Paying massive fees for university, bills, food and so on! he saw an opportunity and went for it! that was all done in the past. I have one thing to say, none of these people who left posts on this thread are immigration experts but only have limited and narrow knowledge on immigration policies. The best thing today, is to tell him to hire a very good lawyer and spend some cash! all the best

Many thanks everyone!!

HI Tammy!!! my prayers are with you!

My fiancee just graduated from LSE! and just started work last week, " after interview! and they did not bother asking him about it

Thank you " Laura+Tom " and "SusieK".

Hi guys my fiance went for his interview on Monday the 15th of Septembre in LONDON , and he was told that he was put on AP. That did not bother us because he was not really planning to come over until the second week of December. Yesterday Thursday the 25th he recieved a letter from the embassy stating that his AP has been cleared and was asked to forward his passport to the Embassy via the courier. Roughly it took us 7 working days in AP. He was a bit worried as he had 5 police certificates from different countries, so that was not really a problem.

Have a nice day people!!!

Just thought I would do an update, since it's been so long, hope that I've got most people, but i know I'm missing loads of approveds, but this list was helpful to me when I was getting ready for interview, so I thought it was worth keeping it up to date.

Sad Eyes...........................................2008-02-25 Stuck in AP - hopefully not for long!

On another website a guy contacted me to ask some questions about London because his fiance was not given the visa. He was pretty lost and didn't know anything about the process and had a big wedding scheduled. I told him about AP that is common in other countries and that's what it sounded like, even though in my short time here I had never heard of it in London. .They told him it could be 8 weeks and he messaged later that it was. I got him directed over here to VJ, so just searched and luckily he's using the same user name and has done a lengthy post on the subject. Here's his experience:

Thank you sooo much Nick-Nick , you're help is greatly appreciated.

I guess i got lucky for AP. Kamal went for his interview and everything was great, but when the interviewer saw that his passport was new, she sent it thru for some more AP. It took 6 days!!!

Hi Turia! was this in Casa? as my fiance had his interview in London?

AP is just a killer. it drains u, its like u get sooo motivated for the interview and at the end, the CO tells u with a smile, that evrything seem to be in order and than u breath and then he goes BUT we need to do some further checks! and thats when the pain starts. its like ur put in a doctor's waitin room full of people and Dont know how long each one will take to get treated! but we just have to wait and wait.

OMG! is it taking this long?? my fiance went for his interview in london yesterday! and they said hes in AP too. I hope that it won't take long! ths is really worrying and whats killing me is that u can do nothing about it! its homeland security procedure!

Thanks all for the support! got nothing to do bu wait!

Did your fiance interview at the US Embassy in London or Casablanca? I see the Morrocco flag, so just need some clarification.

Either way, it is not at all unusual for US/Morroccan couples to be placed in administrative processing. No comfort to you, I am sure. However, it is better than a down-right denial. There is not much you can do but wait out the process. i wish you the best of luck for a speedy AP!

My Fiance is a Moroccan National, He s been living in London for five years! and the interview was at the london embassy

My fiance's Interview was in London, as he's currently working over there! wud that make any difference??

Wait, was your interview in Casablanca, or somewhere else?

My fiance's interview was in london! would that make any difference?

My fiance got a blue slip today, because his application requires further processing. This is what has been said.

" Your immigrant visa application requires additional administrative processing bfore a visa can be issued. This processing cannot be waived and we cannot issue a visa until the processing is comlete. When the admnistrative processing is complete, we will advise yoy by phone/email. We regret that we are unable to provide you with any guidance as to how long the processin of your case will take. While the visa is being processed, there is no mechanism for "status check" "

What really worries me is how long the administrative processing will take. Its not like we need to provide an extra documents, its just the embassy's thingy.

Can anyone help/advise on this occasion? did anyone go under the same process?

Many thanks
