Hi Everyone, I know if my husband reads this he will get mad. He really tries to discourage me from posting on VJ for reasons of this very topic. He feels that most of the couples on here (most, not

First and foremost, I'm not here to denigrate anyone and telling it like it has always been my style on VJ. Just sayin'. The sad part of immigration-based relationships is perception. Everyone from

:ot: I really, really want a piece of cake that is in your picture. Just sayin'. :devil:

I agree! That cake has been part of my "we're totally going to have a glam wedding and red will be the main color" inspiration since my fiance proposed.

Maybe one day I should think about asking him whether he likes red. :devil: Nah. :whistle:

The practice cakes sure were yummy. Maybe we'll have a small stateside ceremony in the US in a year or so for my family so I can make the real one. I think I'll make all my co-workers fat practicing in the mean time. LOL. :rofl:

Sarah - how are you guys doing? think you will get any sleep tonight?

Thinking of you and wishing you all good things!

We're doing really well! My fiance is the single most calm person I've ever met.. spent the evening watchin Three Kings and drinking sodas :D He FINALLY went out late this afternoon and got some clothes to go to the interview in, after I nagged him for a month about it. I don't know about sleep tonight tho, I don't sleep too much at night anyway, and there's a funeral going on outside our window.. They'll be reciting the Qu'ran all night.. It's kinda comforting and relaxing tho ^_^

Thanks to everyone for your prayers and well wishes. God willing, everything will be ok in a few hours.. :clock:

Well, he got approved, but they need him to bring them a I 864a from my stepfather, because he co-mingles assets with my mom, who is the joint sponsor.. And here's something that totally baffles me- they want him to have a second physical exam. He just had the first one last week! So we have to pay for that ####### a second time! Anyone have a clue why they'd do that?!

They really grilled him. He was the very last person in the room, and waited 4 hours to be seen. They asked him about my work history, my education, his relationship with our daughter, my favorite food, about my mother's second marriage, my criminal record, why I didn't finish college, about my ex husband and our marriage.. and the kicker- what he doesn't like about me. He told them he doesn't like that "I b%tch and complain too much, like my mother" :rofl: That made them laugh :lol: He was interviewed by 2 women, one he said looked Moroccan but had an American accent, and he said a woman with light red hair stood behind her and commiserated with her during the interview. Several times, they asked him to sit in the waiting area while they discussed further lines of questioning for him. It was tough, but he made it.. I'll post more details later...
