Question about conversion

Hello everyone, I'm very into judaism, and I'm seriously considering converting to Judaism. Although I like all forms of it, I'd like to go with reform conversion. But there's a but. In my city, and the whole country, there are very little synagogues, and those that are are orthodox synagogues. In my city the synagogue is Sephardic, so basically it is orthodox.
I don't mind converting to Orthodox judaism, but later on, I'd like to move countries and probably join a reform community.

My question would be: Would my orthodox conversion be valid, and would I still be considered Jewish to the orthodox jews?

I'm not 100% theist, I want to be part of the Jewish people and follow the traditions, but I'm uncertain about existance of Gd, could I still go to Orthodox conversion?

stop defending islam, its fine to hate it

having been born in a muslim arab family who moved to france, i can tell you that muslims are full of hate. we were taught by families and muslim teachers at mosque that the end times are near and that we have to get rid of everything and everyone who is condemned by islam. we were taught that one day we should die for islam (be shahids), when they say that, they mean die while killing kufar (non muslims). also we were taught to hate gays and get rid of them. i have been disowned by all family.

i confirm that 90% of muslims hate gay people, and they don't care whether you like them or not.
obviously, most muslims won't go in crowds and kill people.

i live in europe, and the muslims terrify me, i am afraid that when they become majority, our rights will be the same as they are in saudi arabia, yemen, iran... western countries should be better at making migrants seeking asylum assimilate.

nicer muslims are those who accept science and are mostly secular.

we cant forbid them to practice their religion, either everyone has human rights or no one does. but please stop protecting the people who hate you.

i also noticed how all of this revolves around israel. you like them only because they hate israel.
supporting an ideology simply because it opposes a country you dislike is a dangerous trap. you don't have to support israeli policies to recognize that islamist groups enforce brutal, totalitarian regimes that systematically violate human rights—especially for women and the lgbtq+ community.
if your concern is human rights and liberation, it's worth looking at how minority groups are actually treated. israel is the only country in the region with legal protections, pride parades, and recognized rights for the lgbtq+ community. in contrast, islamist organizations—whether hamas, hezbollah, or the iranian regime—criminalize, torture, and execute lgbtq+ individuals. opposing israel shouldn't mean turning a blind eye to fundamentalist oppression.
israel also suffers from islamic terrorism, and if you take a look at history, you notice how israel was never the one who started a conflict, but defended instead.

my husband hit me, but im kinda wrong?

Hello, me (25M) and my husband (28M) have been together for 6 years, married for 5 months. He's also my first boyfriend and I love him so much.

We did fight previously for various reasons, more serious reasons I'd say, but in the last 2 weeks we have been fighting over the most stupid things, though it wasn't so serious, and we'd get over it quickly.

Though last night we had an argument about where should we go for winter vacation. He talked about how he wanted to go to Hurghada, Egypt for a while but I always denied it and said I didn't want to go to an Arab Muslim country because it's not safe for gay people.
Last night as we came back from the grocery store, he brought up vacation to Egypt again. He started talking about how we could hide being gay and be perfectly safe, whereas I didn't want to listen to to any of that because I strongly denied travelling there.
After he was done explaining everything, he asked me "What do you think?", and I replied "I think I really like this bag of chips" (which I was eating the whole time).

After that he got really mad, he started yelling how I'm always unserious and never listen to him, and to that I just said "Mhm" in a sarcastic way. That really wasn't nice of me, but I thought it was obvious I was joking, but he got angrier and he got on me and tried to make me look at him, but I tried to get away. Then he humped me and held my arms on the sofa so I couldn't leave, and he started complaining about everything again, calmly this time though. I don't know why but for some reason I said "Yes, you right, you're aaalwayys right and I'm always wrong", sarcastically obviously, then he slapped me SO HARD across the face and left to the bedroom. I was so shocked, my cheeks were red.
I didn't know what to do or say, I just sat on the sofa.

About an hour later he got out and started saying how sorry he was but that I shouldn't have provoked him like that, I said "We'll talk tomorrow" because I was still so shocked. Then we kinda cuddled and fell asleep. We haven't talked the whole day because he was sleeping (he's on a day off), and now I'm on 2/3 of my 12 hour shift and don't know how to approach this at home.

I know I can forgive him and that this will not happen again, but I wanna hear your opinions and advice. I also know it was wrong to say things i did and provoke him.

EDIT: I haven't opened the app in a while, and as I'm reading the comments I realized that I made a big mistake in the text itself. When he apologized, he didn't say it "I'm sorry for hitting you but you shouldn't have acted that way", it was "I'm sorry for hitting you. You shouldn't do this crap." It wasn't justifying his action, just like saying I did that, that was wrong, you did that, that was wrong too.
Idk whether or not I should share the rest, but we did get along and talked through.

is it still possible to be international student?

Hello, so, for most student visas, you'd need around 10k dollars per year just to prove you can support yourself, but what if I don't have that 10k? In savings of my own I have enough for the first year tuition, but not that 10k to prove I can support myself, my parents don't want to engage and help. Is there anything I can do?

Targeting: USA, Canada, Australia
I want to study either nursing or Mechanical Engineering.

I tried doing research on my own and answers were little to say various.

Which states are most likely to sponsor forgein RNs for EB3 visa?
If there are nurses who managed to do this, I'd love to hear your experience as well, also which state did you move to.

Hello, me and my partner have been married for over 2.5 years (we met 3 years ago, online), due to religious reasons we decided to get married quickly. However, we both were students, it was easier for my partner to finish the studies in his country of origin, therefore we decided to live seperately until we get our degrees.

In the meantime we have travelled to Rome, Madrid, Barcelona, Paris, LA and São Paulo, together, and visited each other's home towns 4 times. We kept our relationship pretty good, we chat almost everyday and videocall a lot.

We got married in Paris together, but because it would be so expensive for both our families and friends to travel to either part of the world, we got married without a celebration. He also took my surname, in order to distance himself fromhis family, it's complicated.

Now, that we both have degrees (we both are Mechanical Engineers) we want to move in together here in the US.

My question for you would be, how hard will the process be, since we didn't live together but were seperated due to studies?
How can we prove the marriage?

Citizenships: US, Serbian
