:dance::dance: hi ya'll!

Hey, to those that got out of AP, did DOS say to you it was complete? I was totally expecting Travis, or Kate or the others that I grew to know the voices of, to be the ones to tell me it was over.

The moment was anti-climatic, almost like they were avoiding saying anything. In fact, when I was confused what she said, I called back later and was just told the standard, still in AP. We learned that AP'ers will have to be very proactive.

..ok....back to dancing :dance::dance:

Jackie, congratulations . I hope you and your love will have a wonderful life together.!!!

Truly happy!!!

New life, new adventures, and a new attitude.

Moh.. calling Moh.... please let us know...

There has been some great news this week for some of my VJ friends, let's add Moh to the celebration list ;)

Hows everyone?

"you fondle my trigger then you blame my gun"

Timeline: 13 month long journey from filing to visa in hand

If you were lucky and got an approval and reunion with your loved one rather quickly; Please refrain from telling people who waited 6+ months just to get out of a service center to "chill out" or to "stop whining" It's insensitive,and unecessary. Once you walk a mile in their shoes you will understand and be heard.

Thanks!

Hi everyone!

My name is Emily, from Tulsa, Ok and my husband is Egyptian. We got married in Cairo June 2, 2008. I filed for K3 with the help of attorney, thru VSC in August of 2008. Both the I129F and the I130 were approved at the same time, on Feb 26. NVC sent our case to the Consulate in Cairo right away, and my husband just had his interview on April 23, one week ago today. We have a perfect case, from the start. He took with him to his interview tons of proof, but the CO didn't keep anything, and barely looked at any of it. He said that she was very nice and that he answered all the questions perfectly. In the end, she said to him "everything looks nice and good, but..." and he said "but?" and she said "we will call you" and gave him back his passport along with 221g paper, with NONE of the boxes marked. She said maybe 10 days, maybe a month. I have been emailing the consulate every day, and unfortunately, we are in the dark hole of AP and I am so discouraged. I have been up reading this forum for 2 nights now, and finally decided to join. I can't believe how this AP can drag on forever. I really thought we were at the end of this journey, and really am so disappointed now.

My heart goes out to each and every one of you here. I understand how completely awful this situation is, no matter where you are in the journey.

I am married to a wonderful man, and have no doubts that we will survive this separation, but I haven't seen him since last June, and hope and pray this will end soon for all of us.

Emily

Hi Emily,

Im glad you decided to join. It definatly helps to have people to wait along with you and who understand how horrific this whole process can be.

I hope your AP is not long lived. Feel free to share anytime. We're hear to listen and vent, and then celebrate when you get the good news :)

K3, IR-1, K3, IR-1, K3, IR-1, K3, IR-1. :wacko: My Husband is confusing the hell out of me which route he wants to take. I just emailed the embassy for the 3rd time in two weeks telling them we are tired of being apart and are going the K3 route and he is collecting the packet and then he msgs me this morning saying lets go for the IR-1 route my friend says never come on the K3. I told him sure honey the Embassy will really think I am nuts because we can't make up our minds. We really need an answer where we stand from the Embassy. I'm calling my Congressman today.
