My heart is so broken reading this thread
! -
I do believe that most middle eastern men have big misconceptions about life in America... They think all Americans are "rich" and as if to say we having money just rolling out of our pockets. is there a better opportunity for my husband in America? absolutely! but... he has no concept of working, which scares me. I am going back to America without a dime to my name, I have to re-establish myself completely. and I certainly need his help.. I continue to wonder if he is going to stay in this "fantasy like" dream of arriving there, and things just given to him on a sliver platter.
I often think also... once the newness wears off of all the thrill of this... all that will be left is him wanting to retuen back to Egypt. He's made several comments that have made me think that he is not going to live his life long term there. And.. we are not even in America yet.. and he has told me many times, he will return here every year to visit with his family, which is fine of course, and understandable... but you see... iinstead of thinking about future plans with his life in US.... hes already thinking about when hes going to return here to visit...
So.. I dont know...I have a happy relationship.. but I stay sad on the inside alot and keep it to myself .. my feelings about this .
I suppose we will just have to see what the outcome will be once we get back

Thanks guys!
I am hoping not to stay here in Egypt much longer. as soon as my husband gets his visa... we r OUT OF HERE
LOLI do hope you enjoy your time here with your husband Olivia, but Im sure you will... I don't regret coming here, or even staying as long as I have. but I must say, I am ready to go back home now. Im glad that its finally over.

First of all, let me thank everyone for all the help I received here on VJ. and thank you for all ur kind regards :x
I sent Mosaad's packet back on April 17, 09, the embassy here in Cairo received it April 18, 09.. April 23, 09 Mosaad got a call on his cell from the embassy, asking him if he could come in on April 26, 09 for his interview. of couse he said yes. they said ok, great, we will send u out the appointment letter..we received the appointment letter April 24,09.
We arrived at the embassy late the morning of April 26 , due to a problem we had on the micro bus ( long story)
We got there at 8:30am... they looked at his interview letter outside the embassy, and said go ahead in. We went in, got our number to be called. and about 10 minutes after arriving . Mosaad was called to the window. it was an Egyptian woman, she asked for his original birth certificate, and his original military certificate. she was there with his file , collecting all his papers. Then he was asked to go and pay DHL, and pay the fee for the Visa application. and he was told , sit down and his number would be called again.. so we proceeded to pay the DHL and Visa app fee. and sat down, about 10/15 minutes later, he was called again. This time it was an American woman, and she took his fingerprints.. the fingerprints were electronically taken on a machine. he was told to sit back down, and his number would be called again.
Well, this time, we waited about an hour or so.. before they called his number... there were many guys ahead of him, and unfortunately most of them were completing the interviews and leaving with papers that stated , either there was not sufficient evidence, or their case was going under review to USCIS.
so to say the least, we got a bit discougaged, thinking maybe something was gonna go wrong with our case.
They called his number, and we proceeded to the window.. .it was an American woman, late 20's, long dark hair, (wavy) green eyes, and very kind looking.
Let me give you a list of questions ( not in order) that she asked Myself and Mosaad
Jill:
1. How long have you lived in Egypt
2. When did obtain your divorce
3. Is your ex husband currently a permanant resident/US citizen
4. Who is __________ ( joint sponsor)
5. Are you still sponsoring your ex husband?
6. Have you met all of Mosaad's family?
7. Are you close to his family?
8. Why have you been living here this long?
9. Do you work here , or did you work in USA?
10.Did you sign a rental agreement in USA? ( yes, btw)
11.Are you seeking US employment currently?
Mosaad:
1. Tell me about your arrest ( Mosaad was arrested once, so we had to write an explanation explaining)
2. What is Jill's Birth date
3. What city was she born in
4. What is Jill's mothers name
5. What is Jill's mothers birthdate ( why in the world she asked that, we don't know, LOL, but he didnt know the answer and the IO said, np)
6.Does Jill's mother approve of your marriage ?
7.How does your family feel about Jill?
8.What do you plan on doing in USA?
9. Did you have a wedding party?
10. How many and who attended?
just a brief run down on the pics.... This IO looked at every single picture we had, and I mean looked, and asked who every person in the picture was. she spent atleast a good 5 mintues commenting/looking at our pictures.
11.What do you love about your wife?
12. Have you been married before ?
13. Do you plan to marry again ? ( which struck me as odd, but that's what she asked LOL ) Mosaad said.. this is my first and last ... and he chuckled .. and the IO looked at me, and said wow.. what a catch LOL
I might of missed a question or 2, but it seemed like a string of questions we were asked.. the IO was very polite and calm, and laughed alot with us.
At the end of the interview, she said, well it seems like everything looks good, and in order, Im going to keep your passport Mosaad, and you will receive your visa in 2 weeks.
she said, congratulations and do you have any questions.. we said no, thank you so much. and that was it.
We were at the embassy from 8:30 am until 12:00pm
For anyone going thru DCF here in Egypt... as long as you have all the required paperwork and everything is in order, and you follow all instructions... and your of course legit
your interview should be fine. it is for sure a nerve-racking day, but just tell the truth, and be calm. and things should run smoothly.I can't speak for anyone else, but I feel I need to stress pictures... pictures with the family and also wedding pics... my IO seemed pretty interested with those. so if you don't have any, I would certainly invest some time in taking some with your husband's family.
and all questions asked on the DS 230, please know the answers .. they will ask you questions off of your visa application.
Good luck to all that are waiting, if I can be of any help to anyone here in Egypt, please feel free to let me know.
