I will keep you in my prayers. This situation, although very odd, is not all too uncommon. I can see why they may be skeptical about the intentions but they definitely should have asked him to explain the whole situation from beginning to end befoer they made up their minds. Every situation has an explanation and this one is no exception. I sure wish they'd get their heads outta their butts and do the proper thing instead of being in permanent PMS mode!!!

may God bring you and your family through this with peace and ease ensha'allah.

I have to say that the USEM is probably looking at all of this like, "we have two brothers trying to get the hell out of Morocco that they'll hook up with a mother and her daughter."

I'll be praying for you all Yvette. It is such a sad situation that you, your husband, his brother and your daughter are in. I hope it all works out.

THANK YOU ALL!!! Your encouragement is sooo incredibly helpful.

I spoke to Simo again today....he will take all the paperwork again, including the most up-to-date call history, and letters that our family and friends are writing.

Last night I walked in on our son praying...he was so intent, and when he saw me, he told me he thought if he prayed real hard four more times, then daddy would be home soon. Oh My Gosh I hope so!

Anyway, we are hoping for the best...and praying that she will open her mind, heart and eyes and see this for what it truly is...a family separated.

I will be up Monday night....on VJ...so if you too cannot sleep..say HI - and as long as I am not in a fetal position on the living room floor, I will be here to talk!

Thanks again everyone!

You know it is odd that you say that too...the attorney that my daughter has hired said basically the same exact thing. He changed the area of law he practices to strictly Immigration for this reason. He has a friend (female) who went over seas and met a man...from the Middle East. She and he began a long distance relationship, and she traveled there to see him several times prior to becoming engaged. Once this happened, filed for a K1....with NO luck. She spoke to him about it, and he decided to represent her. He was soooo upset, because during this, and while networking it, he found a man who met and fell in love with a woman from Russia. They met online, he sent her presents.....this lasted for a long time. He then asked her to marry him, she agreed...and the first time they actually met, was when he went there to pick her up!! He had hired a very expensive attorney, and she was here within 6 months. Toree's attorney compared the information...and found NO difference, OTHER than she was a female from Russia and he was a man from the Middle East. It took his friend 2 years before her husband's visa was approved. :angry::blink::angry:

No rhyme....No reason!

This reminds me of how naive we were at the beginning of the process we were. What's done is done. I do agree that you should take in everything possible. I would also include letters of support from anyone and everyone for your case. Also contact your senator/congressman. I would start this ASAP. I have a feeling that your husbands concern is valid, but there is a chance we are wrong. Hang in there and never give up.

'Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming 'WOO HOO, What a Ride'

I have noticed Iraqi women get here so easily and those of us with Iraqi men wait forever. Why do they assume if it is a woman immigrant than the marriage must be real, but if it is a male immigrant than it isn't? (especially from the middle east)

For those of us waiting, I hope we all eventually get the good news we desperately need. Everyone deserves a chance at happiness regardless of other's opinions.

Married: May 28th, 2007

Arrived in the US: December 10th, 2008

Good luck

"you fondle my trigger then you blame my gun"

Timeline: 13 month long journey from filing to visa in hand

If you were lucky and got an approval and reunion with your loved one rather quickly; Please refrain from telling people who waited 6+ months just to get out of a service center to "chill out" or to "stop whining" It's insensitive,and unecessary. Once you walk a mile in their shoes you will understand and be heard.

Thanks!
