Yvette how how you doing today???

[Sandrila 1]

Well...it is me again! Seems I to need to be here more and more these days.

As some of you know, Simo had his interview on the 9th. It did not go well, and the woman was horrendous (pretty much status quo these days). He received the form stating additional process was needed.

Well....he got a call today, and it went like this:

Caller: Are you Said El Moujahid?

Said: Yes I am

Caller: Can you come to the consulate on Oct. 21st at 2:00?

Said: Yes I am able....do I need to bring anything?

Caller: No

That is all! Nothing else! Tonight when we were talking, he told me about the call by saying, "I think I have bad news...but am not sure". He told me about the call...and then went silent. He told me for the first time his heart hurts...and that this woman may keep us apart.

Our son (he is adopting him..already carries his last name), asked "why does daddy look so sad mommy?" I told him in very general terms that he needs to go for another interview. His next response was "Is daddy coming home now?" I told him not yet....he went to bed crying and the remainder of my talk with Simo was soo sad.

You would think our visa would be pretty straight forward...it has taken a very long time to process, almost a year, but we did not receive any RFE's, when they finally did touch each form, it went through. Our problem is this......

Last year my youngest daughter (then...19) and my son (then ...5), went to Morocco for 2 months. For months before this, all of our Moroccan family and me and the kids would talk online everyday. A couple months prior to us actually leaving for Morocco, it was evident that my daughter and my husband's brother liked each other. Well when we got there, Simo and I immediately started on the wedding plans and obtaining a marriage certificate. As all of you who were married there know....it is a go go go go situation...we basically were not at home for 2 weeks. During this time, Toree and Rachid and my sister-in-laws were spending all their time together. Towards the end....Rachid came to me and told me he was in love with Toree and he knew it was different, but would I mind. ANYONE who would see these two together, would know without a shadow of a doubt that they were in love. Rachid thinks the sun rises because Toree gets up in the morning. How could I object to this??? Toree was going to stay there, but after much research realized it would be very difficult for her to continue with college. Simo and I discussed with them that we thought they should file for a K1 visa and live in the states. In the meantime, life goes on...we are all sooooo happy, and then we have to leave. This was the day I felt my heart being ripped from my chest and left in Nador, where we boarded a ferry for Spain, to come back to the U.S.

On 10/28 the USCIS received my I130 application (processed finally on 01/23), and then in the first week of February, Toree filed the I129F for Rachid. In the application, we told them how they met....and that an application was on file for Simo. We truly NEVER once thought anything about it. It was simple...strange...but simple: Toree and Rachid met and fell in love, because Simo and I did! No alterior motives....nothing. I was gone....she was in this country, with no one to talk to but Rachid and their sisters! They already liked one another, and realized there how much! We were tracking the progress of both petitions, and then Toree went out in July to see Rachid; while she was there they got the Packet 3 (before ours), and Rachid had 9 days between receiving it and going for his interview. They rushed to get everything together and Toree came home, and Rachid left for Casa. The woman who interviewed him never once looked at one piece of evidence that he took: not 1 picture, not 1 letter, not 1 call history...nothing! She asked him over and over again about Simo and me. She then stated they could not find his medical report and would call him when they did.

Shortly after, Simo receives his Packet 3....for an interview on 10/09. After 3 1/2 weeks of no news, and no medical report, Rachid goes back to Casa to have another exam. While he is there, the consulate calls and says he needs to be there the NEXT day at 2:00. Simo gathers Rachids binder, pics and paperwork, jumps on the next train and takes it to him. In the next interview, again she only asks about Simo and me. In both interviews, she NEVER asked 1 question ...nothing at all about Rachid and Toree. There were a couple times when she asked a question that he determined could have a couple different answers....he asked for an interpretor and she said no...English only. He asked why, and she said because she said so (asked the immigration attorney toree is hiring about this....totally illegal). He was told then that it was denied and being sent back to the USCIS, because he did not adequately prove their relationship. SERIOUSLY???? How could he when she refused to look at any evidence or ask one question about THIS relationship!

So now we fast forward to Oct. 9...Simo's interview. She asked him if he was aware he married a very poor woman, and how was I going to support him. He stated he was an Infrastructure Manager and Data Processing Technician and was sure he would find work in this field; that as a husband and wife we would work together (keep in mind I am a Director of Property Management, and in addition to a salary also receive my home, utilities and phone for free....she told him that did not count; yet the USCIS guidelines specify that it does). She then kept asking him why he "liked" me...he responded over and over that he did not like me he loved me. She then took all our pics, letter, emails, IM's and said he could leave and they would be in contact with him.

Then today he gets this call....... In all of this...he has remained so positive. He would remind me that we are meant to be together...and that it is God's will (Insh'allah). But tonight, I have never seen him like this. I reminded him of our times together in Morocco, to try to pull him out of it; how do I do that, when I feel like screaming inside??

I know this is a bizarre case.....some of you are probably picking your jaws up off the keyboard right now....but it just is what it is.

Anyway....I fully intend to be a complete nervous wreck Monday night....sleep? Yeah! What is that again....have a very vague memory of it!

If he is refused, my son and I will be meeting him in Spain, in January....where we will do what we need to, until we can ALL come back to the states...Said, Yvette and Christian El Moujahid.

Thank you in advance for your prayers!

Crying has become such a huge part of my everyday life now.......

Yvette

Let's see ...

Had nightmares last night...but still got up for work

Have not ate today...AS IF I can't afford to lose a meal or 100!!

Took me twice as long to reconcile the office payroll...up-side, everyone left me alone

Cried alone...up-side, everyone left me alone

I have already spoke to Simo today, he called me at work, and we visited online right when I got home. I will do the exact same thing as last time...count down each hour until I hear something.

Thank you all for being here......Yvette
