Saudiwife, did you two marry legally here in the USA? Do you know if your husband's parents had already arranged a marriage for him?

We must! There aren't too many professional footballers born in Morocco. Most are born in Europe. I'm so curious...Taarabt? Zairi? My son is a future Moroccan footballer according to his father.

Having babies is the most amazing thing in this life; we just need to prepare ourselves for that day before it comes. Never be sad and think about something that is not in your hands.

Good luck

Welcome back! You haven't been around here in a while. You should give us an update! How have things been since you came here? Any kids? Job? How did you settle in?

None of my posts have ever been helpful. Be forewarned.

Hopefully he will be naturalized by then. Btw, he had his finger prints done 1 week ago & today he was notified that he is in line to be scheduled for his interview & to be expecting the interview letter!

None at all? Like not even to work or attend school? My husband and I are attending school together at the moment.

My brother is a professional soccer player and I am his manager, as you know the US Passport will allow me to travel anywhere I may start managing other players in the world. I dont think I have time to go back to School.

I am excited to discover the rest of the world after getting my US Passport..

Oh how fun! My husband loves soccer and played for a while as team captain of his little team. His cousin is a sports announcer based out of somewhere or another... UAE? and was announcing the World Cup stuff in 2006 I think it was. You can see how well I remember this event lol. Do you prefer managing to paying? Did you have a favorite position? Ammar was one of the backs if I recall correctly. We haven't gone through naturalization because we're not sure we want to get involved in the tax liability side of him being a USC. On the other hand, we do like the idea of him being able to travel-- that would be our motivation for it.

Oh-- does this mean we know who your brother is? That's so cool :)
