I'm at work so I have to type quickly............

We had an immigration officer from hell! :devil:

He was on my poor husbands ***. :crying:

I figured that him being older than me was going to raise some red flags. He keep asking my husband was he married with kids back in Jordan, why is he not telling the truth about the family he left in Jordan, said the infamous line "I can't help you if you lie to me", are you sure you didn't tell anyone at the airport about your wife & kids, you know if you are lying you won't be able to bring your kids here, are you sure you are telling the truth....etc. etc.

**A little FYI: If you are Jordanian and have a wife and kids, the Jordanian government lists that information on the passport. The lawyer did explain this to the officer (and that was the ONLY time the lawyer spoke up!).

My poor husband was shook up! He has a very....very...short and nasty temper. I was so afraid that he was going to snap and curse the immigration officer out. We were in there a good 40mins. And he kept grilling my husband. The only question my husband couldn't answer was what the name of my son's school was and what my father's name is (he has never met my father).

He asked us all the regular question: where do you live, what is your phone number, when did you get married, what is your birthdate. He asked why we got married so quickly and I explained that because we are Muslim we don't believe in dating so if you see someone and you want them you have to marry them in order to be together without falling into sin. :goofy: He asked me if I knew about his culture (#######? :sleepy: ).

After all that he said he going to take some time and review the file. We were dismissed. My poor husband had a come apart at Red Lobster. :cry: I was pissed at that. I told him that the man was doing his job. I told him that our case was going to raise red flags anyway and to be prepared for an interrogation.

2 hours later...................I got the text message that our petition had been approved!!!!!! :dancing:

Well to be honest, I don't see why you are upset at Mari. She was trying to be reassuring and helpful. We all have situations that make this AOS very important. Plus, there is no way to speed up the
