oh my heart goes out to you michelle. this is a similar story that has happened to me. except my experience was involved with a tunisian. i met this tunisian man off the computer. he also was so charming and promising. i happen to have been 16 years older than this man.

i made 3 trips to his country in tunisia. i paid for all his attorney fees to enter usa on a fiance visa and marry within 90 days after his arrival. well to make a long story short. he did arrive, but.... there was no wedding. he went back to tunisia. left me broken hearted and drained. now this experience has set my life back 12,000 dollars in debt and with no trust for any men ever! i only wish somene would have warned me beforehand that with a big age gap is not common for arabs muslims.
