This can be an issue at the interview in some MENA countries. Where will your fiance be interviewing? That will help you get specific feedback from other members that have experience with the same embassy/consulate.

We went through the same thing. We had no problem with getting it approved and he will be here on Halloween. Good luck to you.

Hello,

I think that many of us who are married to a muslim, but not muslim ourselves have not had problems about this in geting our visa's. However they will most likley ask your fiance about this at the interview... I know they asked mine, they also did an interview with me over the phone and asked me about this as well (they asked me about alot more then this, too) Here are some of the things that we were asked regarding religion

-They asked what's my religion?

-What's Hamza religion?

-Will you ever convert ?

-Does he talk about converting ?

-Do I want kids?

-How many ?

-What will their religion be ?

-What do hamza parents think about this?

-What do my parents think about this ?

-Do you think hamza parents are very conservative?

They also asked explained how a person can have a religious ceremony, without being legally married.

-Then he asked if I experienced anything like this (no, i didn't)

B/C religion is such a big factor over in MENA countries (Im assuming your SO is from MENA) this plays a big role in relationships, and so the CO is trying to discover any inconsistencies with the cultural norm. Anyway, everything ended well Im sure it will for you too!

Good luck

Thank you all for the response. It is nice to see othersgoing through a similar situation. I am very careful what do but, it just seems right. people who go through these relationships must be the strongest emotionally in the world. I dont think it is easy but, I pray it will be worth it. I am starting the process to file for the K1 visa. I hope it goes smoothly.

What is meant to be will be.

Many blessing to those who helped me:).

Hello, again. I know this is not directly related to the K1 process. However, I have a question to those married to someone who is not their own religion and plan or have children. Is this a challenge to have children if you are another religion.

This is somewhat of a concern for me. I only want a good life with as little issues/problems as possible. Any advice, suggestions would be helpful/interesting.

Please reposnd only if you are in that current situation.

Kind Regards and Blessings.

Marriage in itself it challenging. Add culture & religion is a whole nother challenge. My hubby & I are both Christian w/no children- just constantly working on it My sister is a christian and her hubby is muslim from India/now American citizen. They have 2 daughters - Esther nearly 6 & Anna 2 1/2 yrs old. He goes to the mosque on Fridays, she and the girls go to church on Sundays. They are respectful to each other -and each does their own thing w/regards to what they believe & how they practice it. Im sure anytime religion is discussed its a touchy subject but they do love & respect each other even though they do not believe the same. He participates in the family gatherings for the holidays with her & all of us. He's very much a part of our family. We all love him to pieces! And my sister does cook meals for him & buys dates during ramadan when hes ready to break the fast. He is a wonderful provider for my sister & their daughters, very respectful to my mom & step dad, a wonderful brother in law that will do anything for anyone. My thoughts are this: If you want it to work, then you BOTH have to make it work. And I can clearly see in regards to my sister and her hubby- they do!

Hello again,

My Husband and I dont have children together yet. I do have a daughter, who he helps to father though. As of now we don't have many problems with religion, he does his thing, and I do mine, and my daughter follows my religion...and we do all holidays together. We have talked about how we are going to raise our future children when we have them. We talked aboutthis before we got married, and after, and still now. We know that we are going to try to teach our children both religions, and once they are older let them choose for themselves. I know that this will be our greatest challenge in our relationship, and with our future children... but it is something we will have to work thru, and make comprimises about. Hopefully we can teach them to see the good in both religions, and teach them to be open to learning, and choosing for themselves. I think thats the best we can do, and i think thats all we can do when it comes to our children.... do the best we can, and pray they will make they right choices for themselves. Sometimes I wonder if I had been given an option in religion, or was educated on all religions if I would have choosen something different for myself. Since I was only taught one religion my whole life, it is ingrained in me now and has always made perfect sense...but if I had knowlege, and the option of another choice... would I have chosen the same? Anyway, Im not sure if having two religions will be a gift, or not. Time will tell, but I am sure we will have some bumps in the road. Both religions have so much good in them, so at least we are sure we can teach them good morals, and values.
