First of all, I CANNOT believe that I remembered my VJ name or password since it's been forever since I've been on VJ.

Hicham and I married in 2001 and some of you may remember him going home to Morocco to be with his mom and he ended up getting stuck there for 4 years. He finally came home March '08. We went to Maroc for BIL's wedding and Hicham's passport was taken simply because they (USCIS) has his name wrong in their system. Delayed our citizenship process but he finally took his oath in September/October last year, I think. Been a crazy year.

We have a precious 6 year old son and our expecting a little girl in July. Been an amazing journey for both of us and it's not been easy at times, but we've stuck together and are still going strong.

As someone said earlier, I still keep in touch with old VJers via Facebook.

GREAT to see you WoM!!!!! You were such a help to us and it's great to see you are still doing well.

Well, I just wrote and then managed to delete, a long post. So, I'll just say a quick hello and add that it is nice to see old names. I have been mainly a lurker since around 2005. Our visa journey was much different than most here. In fact, when I found this forum I just assumed everyone would have a story similar to ours, having met and married in the US, hit an (ahem...) immigration snag and moved to MENA to apply for an I-601 waiver. I was amazed to learn that women (for the most part) were meeting MENA men on line and filing for them. So, despite the fact that we have immigration long behind us and that I rarely have anything to contribute here, I cannot help but peek in from time to time both to see if anyone is going through Algiers or filing a waiver and also out of totally nosy curiosity about how these relationships work, or don't. Apologies for the nosy part, but really, it remains fascinating to me. I wish everyone well and must say that, as a pretty quiet observer for years, I see this forum, despite a whole lot of crazy, as a sharp, supportive community for most people and seeing old members stick around is testament to that.
