Type of Meeting: Addressing INS Request for ML-DA “Meeting in Person”
Meeting Facilitator: None
Invitees: Da, Bob, Sophee, Suroyya, ML
Review: (April/May2016): INS has sent a letter and has offered an opportunity to exempt the meeting requirement between DA and ML in person, if documentation is provided to justify it. The justification must be of Islamic and Thai culture, in nature. The Islamic views on meeting in person is believed to waive this requirement, upon approval from an Imam, in that there is no “meeting & dating” in Islam, and only family agreements and arrangements for marriage. The following depicts the recent key issues that must be finalized, documented in a letter, and approved by an Imam and/or the family, for submittal to INS, as a waiver to its request for a “Meeting in Person”.
Open issues
Coffee Shop Issue: ML has reiterated that no family related request should come his way until the marriage is well established first.
Cellular Phone Issue: ML has asked that all request, related to & asked of him; e.g. items requiring to be budgeted and funded by him, to go through him for approval first.
New business
Living Space: The existing residence has been modified to address the segregation of the living space between Mother and ML-DA. DA has agreed to this arrangement as long as pets are kept within the Mother’s Unit.
Dowery: This is being negotiated. Da has asked for $9K.
