What if you WERE single again, and a good friend introduced you to someone...........? Not their fault where they were born. I certainly am not going to discount someone because of where they are from.

I had a full 2 year nightmare with USCIS, but they are just a government office, here to serve us, they don't scare me.

Well, dating a foreigner who was already here would be one thing, but the assumption would be that they would already have all the necessary documentation for being here. It's not like you could get introduced to someone on the internet and then poof let's get a visa, right? You just don't go down that path if you don't want to face the possible challenges.

Are you talking about dating/marrying another man from MENA? That I wouldn't necessarily have a problem with but having to petition for one I would have a problem with. Anyone who is a good friend to me wouldn't want to put me through more of this kind of hell.

well I thought a few people have actually have gone their second round with the visa thing... maybe not.. just curious..

I know once people "get in good" with a certain culture they like to stick around... Me? I'm partial to arabs.. for some strange reason...

Now I cant fathom ever doing this again.. but the never say never hits me.. BUT i know every single person in my life would STAB ME if i go down that route again.....

but then again i seem to be a glutton for punishment

Well, I haven't gotten my husband here YET. If something were to happen to the marriage, I can't say that I woudn't. IMO the hardest thing about going thru this process in the first place is the not knowing what is going to happen next, or when it will happen. So, being forwarned and forarmed and knowing about the wait times, RFE's, AP and all that could happen, well, I would at least know what to expect as far as the actual legalites of immigration. So I would have to say that I would highly be likely to do this over again, if the right man came along. Hopefully, I won't ever have to find out.

I believe in never saying never as well,but I just could not go through the whole immigration process again. I am not even done with this one and this is just the first round. Now we've just entered the second round and then we have naturalization to look forward to down the road .

No Thanks

I told myself when I was young I would never marry an Arab and certainly not a Muslim so I've learned never to say never.

It depends on the situation but I don't think I could say flat out no I wouldn't ever do it again.

My first husband was an immigrant, but I didnt have to peition for a visa - he got here on his own. I did have to do the whole aos stuff before. Much easier this time around (aos anyway).

How many people on here have now applied for the SECOND time for a SO??

especially from the MENA.......

AND if things go sour.. Would you ever do it again??

*i think I'll make a poll about it*

No way!

Yep M, you're right, this is my second romance with the whole Visa Journey.

Would I set out to do it again no. What God would have in store for me I don't know. I would do everything in my power to avoid however. I'm at work and rushing to get home before break fast - I'll post more later.
