-Where will he find a job ?

-Does he have a degree?

-What do you have in common?

-What do you like about him ?

-Where did Emma stay when I was in Tunisa?

The last question he said . Mam, I have one more question to ask.. and don't become upset, cause this is not the real situation. Its just a question, to know your answer.

-If we denied hamza his Visa Would you come to Algeria to live with him.

I said unfortunatly this can not be an option for me...because i could not take my daughter with me, as he dad would NEVER agree to this.

-So you can not leave the country with your daughter without the permission of her father. (i said thats true)

then I added that surely I would go to visit again, and we would reapply for the visa, and I said but I really hope this will not happen for us.

Then he reassured me again, that his is just a question

Did you speak with the nice Algerian man from the embassy? That's who I spoke with .... if things happen for you guys as they did for us it went like this: I received the call on a Thursday. I called the DOS the following day and they told me there was a visa number assigned!! The embassy called my now husband the followin Monday.

Crossing fingers you guys get that call -- did you contact the DOS?

Malarie

Yes, I did speak with a nice Algerian man. Im planning on calling DOS first thing morrow morning! I really hope it works for us, how it worked for you!! I love hearing things like this!! Thanks !

Thank you so much !! Hamza and I are praying too!!

This is great news!!! Sounds like things are definately going in a positive direction!!

Crossing fingers for you guys!

Malarie

Thank you!! We are getting really excited, and a lil nervous!! Cant wait to have him here.

Finally got a call back from the Embassy today. I bought a landline, so that we would have no problems with being disconnected. I think everything when great! I think it was a long call, but I felt good about it at the end. We are really hoping to hear back soon. Still feel really nervous about it all. Cant wait until its over, and i have him here!

It sounds like he will get the visa soon.........we had the same experience. The embassy called Ahmed's boss at work to see if he knew about our details, which he did, and then they called me at 3am the same day, even though I attended the interview with my husband a month earlier.

They also called my husband a second time to go over the same interview questions. I guess they just wanted to interview us separately, asking the same questions.

My husband got his visa several weeks later.

Good luck

Thats great, I hope it works the same for us. Im really anxious, to get thier return call! I am getting really excited... cause of course I can't wait for Hamza to be here. So Im hoping e wont have any let downs. thank you!

That is great news Danni!!!

I hope he gets the visa soon!!!!

Thanks you!!! We Hope so too!

Sorry to hear he was treated this way. Im glad that he could stand his ground, and get his visa. YAY for getting his visa!

Hey, dont worry. Im sure everything will be just fine. You fiance will take good care of you. Goodbyes dont have to be forever, you will see your family again. Be strong, and have an open mind. When one door closes, another opens! Good luck.

As Monica said above, you should let us know what area you will be in. You might have friends from Visajourney close by!

Danni

Sounds like progress! Good luck to you both!

Jackie

Thanks Jackie! We have hope, we will have his visa soon!!

Danni and Hhamza...I wish you good luck....I hope this is good news for you both. I enjoyed watching your videos....Thanks for sharing!

Thanks !! Im glad you enjoyed our videos too!

Awesome!!! that's great news Danni!!!

thank you.. it so good to know they are actually working on our case. We were so worried, they would let is sit for months!

hey everyone,

Some good news... I think! SOOO hamza Dad got a call from teh embassy today. I think it went well. They asked if he knew about me, and hamza and my relationship is. His dad said we are great, and in love, and everyone there knows about this. They asked about the difference in religion, and how his dad thinks about that. His dad said, that its o kay to have a different belief everyone had thier own opinion. They asked dont you want her to be Muslim. His dad said, I cant say no... but no once can force her to do anything, and the quran says this, and says everyone can have thier own belief. They asked about if we had children, and our childrens belife. His dad said they are free to raise them how they want, and I think they have a plan for this. He asked if hamza knows my family, and his dad said yes. They talk to him online,and that he met my brother in Tunisia.

The embassy also called me. UNFORTUNATLY... I got disconected twice !!!! They didnt really have a chance to ask me more, then were we met.. and what language we communicate. I called back, but then he was too busy to talk with me. Said he would call in the next couple days.

So good news, is they are working on our case... bad news... my phone service sucks! I hope this dosnt look badly upon me. I was really worried, they would think I was hanging up.

I feel a lil nervous... and excited in the same time. Cause I think things will be o kay

Danni

Sorry to hear about your loss!

Hey everyone,

I like that song too !!

Faithful and True, plz don't worry about scaring me. I was just scared for you. Maybe I misunderstood what you were saying, or it sounded darker, to me... then what you intended. I'm just glad that you are okay. Thanks for coming back so quickly, to let us all know you are o kay! I just hate so see anybody feeling so sad... SOOOO, I hope things are getting back on track for you, and you are feeling better

I hope everyone else is having a good day to. Good luck in all that you are doing! It was a dark rainy day here, but I work midnights.....so it made for a good sleeping day!

Danni

yay CONGRATULATIONS!!!

I am sad, but it's well ... I haven't ALWAYS been right and have made mistakes.. it's called being human.. I am very sad, but it's well ... Olivia girl.. God bless you on your new career...I wanna quit my job with the government, but my family will suffer... We are told that whether a person is approved or denied we can't tell them even though we see on the computer the answer.. those pictures i took at the concert, i bought the camera and took it back.. i really wanted to see TFF and remember.. i repent i'm not perfect but i strive for it..BBA, listen to wise counsel.. keep your eyes open as they say... Tamara, i hope and pray you get that house you wanted.. i however am searching for my house not made by human hands... i don't know what happened to annie but God bless you and your family... Andrea, thank you for your words.. not many people wanna talk about death.. but in death you are actually living forever, somewhere.. i want that somewhere for me to be in HEAVEN... i don't know everyone that posts but GOD bless you guys on your journey.. i tried in the political and religious forum to post what i believed.. it was the correct forum, but not the correct "faith" i guess that i professed.. i have never come against anyone's faith, but i have verbally attacked someone in the past but i was because of what i thought was going on and they attacked me first, for no reason.. someone i didn't even know.. no excuse though.. i repent well these people didn't know today that i wanted to die and have been feeling this way for 5 years for what i have been going through.. i've tried it at my own hand but God kept me from doing it.. i KNOW HE(GOD) is REAL.. i love music.. such a wonderful gift and a myriad of colors, like the fall i may have joked about things about spirtual things to cover up if you will of what i've experienced.. quite frightening i'm afraid.. maybe some day i will share that.. i've already lost everything... so if i am a laughing stock so be it.. anyway , i am going to step away for awhile or until God gives me instruction to come back.. i always wanted to encourage someone else no matter what their faith was.. they are GOD's creation.. how can i love God and not love my brother.. i've made friends on here and i enjoy them.. so i am shaking the dust from my feet and moving on for now.. may God bless you and keep you is my prayer.. i am a Christian and i profess JESUS as my LORD and SAVIOR!!! GOD BLESS YOU

Hey, Im not sure what to say... cause I dont really know you. I just want to make sure that you are o kay. This post scares me a bit. If you have been feeling that you want to die, for the last 5 years, it might be a good idea to seek couseling. Maybe you already have.I Hope that life becomes easier for you to handle. Try to disregaurd ppl who are being rude(easier said then done, i know). You are entitled to any belief you'd like! It sounds like you are leaving the site for a while, I do hope that you will let us know you are o kay!

Hello to all those in AP! Congratulations to those of you have finally received your visas!!! It looks like there have been quite a few in the last couple weeks! So that is good news for everyone! I just wanted to add my name to the list for AP/AR. We are in Admin Review, because they are unsure of a bonafide relationship. My fiance is from Algeria, and his interview was on 8/17/2010. We are hoping to hear back from them, with good news ... soon! Good luck to everyone

OHHHHHH!!!! This is so cute. I love it. Hamza, translated the lyrics for me. I hope you all enjoy it too!!!

I want you
I want u to be my wife
you are now the love of my heart
I'm going to bring the rings
you the bride of the brides
want u to be my love & my craziness
& for me so sweet
the love of my heart
I wanna merry you in the best way & a party its not enough
I want to make u walk on flowers & make u happy
& everyone will Envy you
the love of my heart
in my heart u will rest
& make my happiness more
& sleep under my wing
the love of my heart

I think this is the main chorus.

No news back about the email yet. I called my Congressman's office today, to see if they got a reply back... But the secretary, who has been working with me, is out of the office today. So they asked me to call back tomorrow. So hopefully tomorrow she will have some new news for me. we will see. Thanks for asking

By military exemption do you mean, for example, the card Adel has that keeps him out of the military because he's in university...is that what you mean? or should he be getting something else?

That is all Hamza has . A card saying he is exempt, because hes is in the University. BUT... they didn't ask for it. I would take it anyways. We actually called, the embassy to ask about this. I asked, if he has no record of being in the military, does he need to bring anything, about this. They said no, don't worry about it. So I think its not a big deal.

Danni

Good Luck!! Safe travels !!

okay look buddy just try to be normal they will start talking in franch with u & if u did not understand franch they will ask u which language that makes u feel better to talk with even if u talk arabic they will bring a translator for you i saw some people who was interviewing in arabic but i think if u talk in english of franch will be more better ...just be honest & don't be nervous its so easy just try to give them the right information & don't care about them english its not hard its an easy english & she talk slow & u can ask them to repeats the question when u don't understand it & believe me i was worried too but when i get there i said this is the moment we was wainting me & my girl since a couple months or years ...& i start i think about all the time i had with my fiance & how much i do love her & how much i want to be with her & i better be strong & be responsible in a positive way which make me have this visa ...i think u know what i mean & believe me all will be just fine

good luck !

hamza

Hey,

Good luck for your interview ! Try not to be nervous. Try to think of questions they may ask based on information that you gave them, from any forms you filled out. Talk to your wife, and think about any red flags you may have, that they may ask you about (EX. Age Difference, religious differences, divorces) Most of the information they will ask you, can be found in the information you already sent in, from paper work. Just be honest in your answers, and everything will be Okay. Make sure you get a bite to eat, before you leave for the interview, b/c you may be there for a while. If there is a question you don't understand, make sure you ask them to repeat it.... cause you don't want to give a wrong answer, due to a misunderstanding. If you don't know the answer to a question, you can say you don't know. Its better then making up an answer, and being wrong (in my opinion).

Good luck!

Danni

Hello, MENA ppl

I just thought I would join in, and say hello to everyone. I hope everyone had a good day, and is getting settled in nicely for the night. I also wanted to share a photo that Hamza (My fiance) made for my daughter. He is really good with the photoshopping so he did Emma ( my daughter) as a genie in a lamp! I think its Cute. He bought her this belly dancing outfit, when I went to see him in Tunisia.

Thanks for the feedback everyone

“He that can have Patience, can have what he will”

“All good things come to he who waits”

“Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.”

“Patience is the key to paradise”

002.153 Al-Baqara
YUSUFALI: O ye who believe! seek help with patient perseverance and prayer; for Allah is with those who patiently persevere.

Romans 12:12
Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.

I was just sitting here, thinking about how horrible it is to wait, and not have a sure date to look forward to Because patience is a virtue, i need MUCH more of. Anyway, we all know this is a hard thing to do... wait, and no one likes it. When my daughter complains, about something, or about not having something I play the guilt trip on her...."Emma, you shouldn't complain. Think about children, who do not have anything. You have so much. This usually works on her, b/c she is such a thoughtful lil girl (just needs reminded sometimes) Now, I'm sitting here doing a guilt trip on myself. So, I have to wait for my fiance a lil longer. There are worse things I could be waiting for. There are worse things others are waiting for

- I could be waiting for a loved one to come back from war....will they come back?
- I could be waiting for a heart transplant
- I could be a new mother waiting for her prematurely born baby to breath through her own lungs.
- I could be someone who has survived a natural disaster, waiting for relief
- I could be an Orphan, waiting for someone to adopt me, and make me feel loved
- I could be an abused child, waiting for someone to save me!
- I could be someone with limited financial resources, waiting for the next time they can afford to feed their crying children.

I could be waiting for these things, but I am not. I am waiting for my fiance who loves me, and who I'm sure I will be with, and have a bright future with. I am lucky to be waiting for this! So I am happy, and fortunate to have Hamza to wait for...otherwise there would be nothing I am waiting for... and God might find me something else to wait for, and it might not come in the form of a handsome Algerian.


Good luck to everyone waiting. I just started waiting. SOOOOOO, gimme a couple months I might change my tune BUT...I think this thought will jump start my waiting, on a good note

Hoping everyone has a short wait!

One thing to keep in mind, is the affidavit of support you will need, when filing for him to come back. I think you will have to prove you can support him, when you move back. So if you will not have an income of your own, you will most likely need a co-sponsor. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. I seem to remember a post from another VJ'er who moved to be with there SO, and is unable to move back now due to financial issues, and not having a co-sponser.

I wish you the best of luck !!
