Rajaa_Reda, The Spanish Embassy is a very nice Embassy! I went two times in my life, the first one for my Student Visa, and The last one for my Immigrant Visa, and both times went very easy and fast.

It is not common that We (Spaniards) want to live in USA. We do not need Visa to travel to USA. Then, The Embassy is not very busy. Do not be afraid!

I wrote my interview experience in this topic, and you can read it: (The interview is the Post # 55)

GOOD LUCK!

Thank you , i was worried about an AP time after his interview. I guess the economics in Spain isn't very good right now and my husband's boss laid them off of work for the month now. I would really like if he got his visa soon so he can just leave and be with his family.

The funny thing is my grandmother is a Spainiard and came here I think that means i can move to Spain anytime if I can prove lineage???

UPDATE: Husband had his medical today and only had to get two shots :thumbs: I called him and he's not feeling so good but is happy they said everything was good and he is a step closer :dance:

Well, he's not a Muslim or a terrorist,

but I have LOTS of Muslim friends, have for as long as I can remember.

I respect all people....I'm only prejudiced against fools. :)

Insh Allah, I will suffer no fools.

:thumbs::yes:

I'm getting ready for the interview too... and we have a problem... we don't speak English or Portuguese... we always speak and write in Spanish (I know it's weird... :wacko: ), so ALL the e-mails/chat are in Spanish... I hope they don't ask me an official notarized translation :blink:

I don't think you will need to they would like to see that you have had ongoing communication after your marriage is all. Not what you said :star: good luck

I know broh, I know. :)

I just get a bit frustrated sometimes because there are a LOT of people

that think Muslim = Terrorist.

There's too many people that believe we're helping Iraqi people by killing them.

How the ** is invading a country and then putting bullets into their CITIZENS "helping them"?

But they don't say "Today we killed 10 Iraqi citizens", instead they say "we had INCIDENT

where 10 INSURGENTS were killed". Fcuking Joe-Six-Pack-American has no idea

what an "insurgent" is, so he's cool with it.

WHO is the terrorist?

Like Bill, I love this country, I'm just sick of some of the sh!t our government does.

They TEACH us to be afraid and to hate people that are different.

WHO is the terrorist?

OK...this isn't the place for this.

Sorry...

Return to your scheduled journey. :angry:

I got a similar soap box... 11 yrs military girl 5th generation service member muslimah hoooorrraaahhhhh :star:

I used to date a girl from Turkey, and she told me a quiet few stories of that caliber. Kinda disgusting. Even being Russian in America we get generalized not as bad ofcorse, but we were always and will be always the "Bad guys" like so many movies portray us to be.

Here is my story. I've lived problem free life, payed my taxes. One day I decided to marry this girl. But to do so would require her to come to US of A, and so it started. My problem free live turned in to free problems from USCIS! Sure things turned to unsure, certain dates turned to aproximation within months. All logical thinking was out the door, as I filed my papers withing famous Vermont Centre!

I have a 6'7" serbian male that works for me.. I had a man come into my store and was talking to him... i went back to my office for a bit and my employee comes in very mad... i asked him "what's wrong?" he said the man didn't want to buy a phone from him cause he sounded Russian...??? I said what? so the customer left i said good cause I would kicked his butt out. Following week the man came back in and bought a phone from my Cambodian employee :bonk: whatever...

Damn Rajaa, I thought I had it bad being Black.

That's some rude a$$ sh!t.

Excuse my French, but only a punk little sissy boy would do something like that to a woman pumping gas.

I guarantee the punk wouldn't have tried it if you were a man.

When I was younger I hoped...now I wish.

When I was younger I hoped people like that would never bother me.

Now that I'm older, I wish they would.

Sorry folks but I'm a little pissed off right now. Rajaa's story, and Shpat getting suspended AGAIN.

:unsure: sorry Ling Ling didn't mean to get you worked up... how did shpat get suspended again???? and you're probably right had my husband been with me i am sure he would've never done that. But if I had said anything to him IF i had punched him in the throat like I wanted to I would've been giving all Muslimahs a bad wrap.. imagine "see that's why they should be eliminated from this earth they're violent and we cannot tolerate them" is exactly what they would've said.... similar to the African American movement back in the day... do I dare say fire hoses and dogs :whistle:

still ticks me off.. but didn't mean to get your feathers ruffled Ling LIng... breath wooooosaaaaahhhhh (fav movie btw) I am good and you are good we should just work to help "educate" the not - so- good :star:

Right on Rajaa.

I'm breathing.

Did you hear someone killed my mailbox this morning? :angry:

Shpat had a thread going...posted a pic of himself sitting on the toilet.

You could tell he was on the toilet, but it was cropped in a very tasteful manner.

There was no "skin" showing, and nothing offensive about it.

But a certain mod, who had nothing to do with the thread, comes in and pulls down

a perfectly respectable picture...I got pissed, some other folks got pissed...then Shpat

lost it.

We think he's been sent to VJ's version of Guantanamo Bay.

As for being passive and being a diplomat for your culture,

I understand exactly what you mean. I've had to bite my tongue just about all my life...but I'm pretty much done.

I'm not gonna be rude to people for no reason, but I'm gonna feel free to educate as appropriate. :)

some mods here are just weird. Its like VJ is big internet popularity show, and if you arent in and you say something you get the boot. But if you are in, laws dont apply to you. Numerous posters were calling Shpat names and not even a warning went out to them.....
