just wondering. i think we have a wide variety of people here and i'm a curious girl! :thumbs: If you don't feel comfortable answering here for all to read just answer the poll! :)

Can you please word it as "spouse" instead of "husband" so that male can also vote?

I can't see my husband fit any of the categories perfectly, but I voted the one he was closest too.

As I suspected, when he got here things that he is suppose to do is not the same. Some just isn't feasible.

prays 5 times, lowers gaze, dresses modest, no smoking, no drinking, but is very quiet about his religion..not pushy or controlling with it. Fasts frequently and at Ramadan, reads quran and listens...will take it on plane to listen to...loves Allah with all his heart and soul and tries hard to live right. I was raised Christian..with similar morals and values...now converted...we share the same belief system that God is first and the center of our relationship. I feel blessed to have found my other half.

Husband doesn't smoke or drink, but is relaxed and curious about people. His best friend is Christian, he is more into doing the right thing, no matter what your belief is. He has been to America, and Europe, so of course he knows a lot of different people from different backgrounds. He does shave, so no hair on the face.

just wondering. i think we have a wide variety of people here and i'm a curious girl! :thumbs: If you don't feel comfortable answering here for all to read just answer the poll! :)

Husband was raised in a Muslim family. He rejected it early on (though never felt free/safe to say so while he was a teenager). As an adult, he now attends Catholic services with me on Sundays but has not formally "joined" the church. It's completely up to him if he wants to go through the catechisms and get baptised, etc.

We don't drink a lot, but we certainly DO enjoy a good glass of wine (or two!!) on weekends or when we gather with family/friends...

:)

Summer 2003- We met (in the U.S.) and began dating.

Summer 2004- My SO moved back to Egypt; I spent a month there with him.

December 2004- SO called my parents and got permission to ask for my hand in marriage; They said yes, of course!

Christmas 2004- I traveled back to Egypt and accepted his proposal while we were on the sands by the Red Sea...

July 2005- Got married; I moved to Egypt

Nov. 2005- Began the immigration process!!!

July 2006- Hubby's immigrant "interview" at embassy in Cairo was no interview- told to file waiver for past visa overstay

Aug. 2006- Waiver sent from Cairo to Athens

April 2007- Waiver transferred from Athens to Rome

August 2007 - I moved back to U.S. from Egypt in anticipation of waiver approval (just had a feeling!!) and to continue my career because my 2 year work contract had expired in Cairo and my wondeful job was still here waiting.

Nov. 2007- Waiver approved... thank the good Lord!!!!

Dec. 2007- Interview- but not really an interview- just had to sign the updated DS230; Told to expect visa in 2 weeks.

Jan. 2008 - Visa in hand! It actually did arrive in 2 and a half weeks... Hubby back in our home 2 days later!!!

Feb. 2008- Green Card arrives

Today and everyday- Loving life back in our home, having a blast, enjoying every moment with family and friends, praying for all of you still waiting! Miracles DO happen!!!

My husband drinks and smokes (although... he's supposed to quit smoking :unsure: ), doesn't go to the mosque or pray, and we don't eat halal meat. He fasts during Ramadan and doesn't eat pork at all.
