your sister-in-law

I realize your concern, but your sister-in-law must make her own choices. Its interesting how you said she has never been married because she is morbidly obese....Is that why YOU think she has never been married? She probably is vulnerable but should never feel that she should compromise who she is because of her weight. And no, if you are thinking I am obese, I am not. I am just concerned how people paint others with their own brush.

I am married to a Moroccan man and visited that country on two occasions. The ceremony you speak of is where they use "Henna" to put designs on the wife to be.........It's washable and nothing like a tatoo. The country is beautiful and I had a wonderful time with my husband and his family. We were not married at the time but he has since come to the US. No, he did not need me to get a "green card" He was able to do everything in Morocco because he was not a fugitive, criminal or anything of the sort.

If it will ease your mind, he will not be able to come to the US even if your sister in law were to sponsor him. Homeland Security will make sure of that. The red tape since 9-11 is incredible and believe me, if he does plan to come to the US he better be ready to go through tons of red tape before his arrival. The question is "can he handle it AND will he bail out of the process before its all over"?

good luck to your sister-in-law
