Addressing possible red flags in i-130 -- EGYPT

[Nasturtium 500]

I had a pet rabbit once that adored pancakes (dry, no syrup.) True story.

Now wondering... how did I discover this ? Trying to remember...

Were you trying to recreate photos of Oolong, maybe?

I had pancakes yesterday. Only had enough for a half-batch, and I had them all. Clearly, we're doomed.

Perhaps the same way I discovered my cat liked Cheez-Its, which I can't recall either.

Puddles adores bread, cake, and other baked goods. Oh and cereal. I discovered because he whines constantly until I give it to him. He gets one crumb, which is clearly cruelty.

ALL Arab men are high maintenance! Don't forget the cologne !

so true. I have to tell my husband constantly to cut back on it, he uses enough to choke a horse

Sorry, hon, I got you beat. Waffles every weekend...or if not waffles, waffle-iron hashbrowns (more surface area for brown crispy stuff!). Waffles= love.

My husband got me a double waffle iron two Eids ago, but still prefers pancakes!

Puddles sounds like me...

Ha. My husband got me wearing perfume. I was NEVER a perfume girl...

Everyone here has given very good advice, they are only looking out for you best interest. This process isn't for the faint of heart, take it from someone who had HUGE red flags.. We have a big age difference, 21 years, I am older, different religions, married on first visit, I am divorced with children, so we had lots of red flags, and I am sure there were more I just can't think of them all at the moment .We were able to overcome them all with much time spent together before he arrived. I didn't find visa journey until after my husband's petition was approved and he was at the NVC. Spending the summer there is a good idea, and can only help you. Take the advice the women here have given, they are all seasoned veterans and know well what they speak of. Good luck!

Haha, never wore perfume either until I went to Jordan and everyone gave me perfume as gifts. Now I have enough to sell

So funny how all of our husbands are different even when some stereotypes seem to ring true (in a lot of cases). My husband only wears cologne if we're going out somewhere or if I request it (if we're just staying home). Before me, he rarely if ever wore cologne. He does, however, goe heavy on the deodorant so it almost smells like he has cologne on lol. My father, who is not Arab, does the same thing - cakes on the deodorant lol. It's funny how alike my father and my husband are in little weird ways.

I, on the other hand, love perfume and have several kinds but I'm very sensitive to strong smells so I have to shop around in order to find one that works for me.

Yeah. My husband loves cologne, but he wears 1-2 squirts. It's not overpowering, no eyes water, none of that. But it will give me a headache. I like perfume a lot, but only have certain ones I can wear without feeling ill. Un Jardin sur le Nil represent! :>

Yep that's how much Mo wears, also. He's also sensitive to strong perfumes so he only wears one kind of cologne.

Un Jardin sur le Nil club!!

My husband wears it only when he goes out, he was putting a lot on especially when going to job interviews. I had to explain to him that most men here don't wear cologne all the time, and if they do it is subtle, that he doesn't want to overcome the person interviewing him with fumes and have to perform CPR because the poor person can;t breathe Now when he puts it on he sprays it in the air and walks through it. He got that little trick from me. He is addicted to the spray deodorant too, but I don't mind. I myself like to wear body spray, jasmine is my favorite, reminds me of Jordan. Speaking of that, does anyone know if jasmine will grow and survive if I plant it outside in the Northeast? We live in New Hampshire. I've Googled it and can't find 2 people who agree if it will survive or not
