Thanks for reminding me Mare, thankfully I did not have to pay any money BUT the emotional toll was often unbearable while you wait for response to your paperwork...things like that. The going back and forth just for a few bits of time together. Painful...then rushing home to a computer??!! to "chat" with your fiancee/husband?? It's difficult and embarresing.I remember as it traveled around my office that my husband didn't even live with me...How humiliated I felt. I kept making excuses that he is "away" working etc...

And you reminded me how they HAVE to keep contact with their countrymen!! Just last night, (Oscar night) I said: "Baby, how long have you been home??, I thought I saw your car parked outside since 11:30, he came inside the house round 12:30am...he said O, I was just chatting with my friend. These friends will disrupt your alone time to no end! Never once do they say, sorry I am with my family, talk to you later. So many times while trying to eat dinner the phone rings, that I simply eat w/o him as he will chat for HOURS!

Find one video of them marrying us in Morrocco wedding....yet, you will see countless movie of their marrying their own ladies. If we just woke up, we would be the better for it. Not the worst.

Remember, if he discusses ANYTHING sexual with you, he is not sincere. If he ask for jeans, cell phone, or $$ for operation...block him. If he is much younger than you, he is just making fun of you. Tell him you are interested in converting to Islam...see if he will teach you the beauty of the religion. Tell him to give you his background information and that you know many Morrocan in your town who can verify...see how long it will last. They should not turn from these questions as they do the SAME to find out about a potential spouse's family. If you REALLY have the ways and means to travel there, don't let him know , then go, then call when you are there, then be prepared with plan B.
