We had issues at the embassy but were able to get past them. I went with my wife and our family to the embassy for her interview for the K-1 and was stunned when they took me a U.S. citizen to a room for an interview :blink: . Don't be intimdated, know your rights. If you think you are not being treated fairly, speak up, it's your right. Don't be afraid to get your congressman or a good immigration lawyer involved. You have a right to pray, at work, in public, and yes, even at the aiport. Get involved at your mosque, stand beside your brothers and sisters, and remember when living and working in a non-muslim country, a good deed, maybe a how are you doing to the guy next to ya, even just a warm smile :yes: , is a great way to make dawah, start a conversation, and helps to break down the barriars and misconceptions.

You r so right!! thank you so much for taking ur time and posting this! :thumbs:
