Poll - how did you meet your fiance/husband

[Nasturtium 500]

Oh, I didn't even realize it was in MENA till I just reread. Sorry.

I don't mind

I was just wondering.

I write about RAI music and I had booked tickets to go to Oran to make mini documentaries about RAI and I met alot of rai singers. We met there for the first time and we were just friends at first and then we fell in love. I was going to ORAN anyway so it was all really an accident. I had bought my tickets in September of 2006 and was completely unsure as of what I was going to do there. I ended up meeting some of the biggest rai performers in North Africa...

If you are married to a Moroccan they will know these people

NASRO ( living in Florida now)

CHEBA ZAHOUANIA knows me

HOUARI DAUPHIN

CHEB REDOUANE

RAINA RAI

CHEBA DJENET

I got to see all the haunts of CHEB HASNI and made a little documentary about it. But I met my husband to be in Country and I had no idea he would eventually become my husband the first time I saw him...

I want to see your film

I met my honey through his brother, who I met on the internet.

[MrsAmera 41]

In person walking in the kasbah of marrakech and we both instantly knew we would be together after seeing each other the first time (really we did!)

[morocco4ever 63]

We met online, on a dating service. My first response to him was "Very handsome, to young, to far away". Its even a miracle I even gave him a second of my time. My sister even asked him "what did you do to break that wall my sister has around her heart?". Some things just change.

BTW, I know of several romances that have been started online that have budded into love, marriage, kids....and they are U.S. citizens already, so I fail to see why meeting in this fashion would be in any way shape or form as an "embarrasment".

I met my husband on a dating site. He found me, I had given up on the whole thing, it was my daughters ideal to make me a profile. He had a web graphics company and she like graphics so she wanted me to talk to him so that he could send us a program that she wanted. He did send us the program bit by bit and it took a few days and we would chat and then I couldn't stop wanting to spend all the time I could talking with him. We would be on mics and web cams for hours. I realized that I was having feelings for him and he for I am I freaked out and said I couldn't keep this up and tried to stay away and couldn't. He said that we could apply for a fiance visa and that it could take a year or two. I swore that I would not go to Jordan but after I was researching this whole visa process I decided that I would go to marry him and that way he could come sooner. I love my husband and he has been in the USA since June and it only gets better.

Wow, so he told YOU about the fiance visa? That's interesting because both Hicham and I had no idea what how to deal with immigration.

We met online.

[chaishai 1]

We met in person. We had a mutual friend so we were hanging out often and eventually one night we just hit it off and we were inseperable since.

Why so interesting? My husbands sister was brought over on a fiance visa by her (moroccan) fiance. How many others have family in similar situations? Why wouldn't they know about them. My husband had heard of it but he had no idea what so ever what to expect. In fact, when we got the approval for our I-130 we thought we were done and thought it was time to celebrate. How naive was that????

I don't see what is so confusing here. I said why I thought it was interesting- because Hicham and I both had no idea about immigration.

Others might know a lot about immigration. We're all different.

I didn't see anything in her post that suggested that he knows a lot about immigration. Did I miss something?
