Hey guys......I just want to say THANKS to all of your for the well wishes (F)(F)

Ok , so this is what happened .............before this .....I was a total mess after talking to my husband on the phone July 31st. Now WE are both stronger than ever and NOBODY can or will keep us apart....insha allaah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sorry for taking so long to get back to everybody..........many hugs to all.......

salaam to all,

Okay, I am a bit more composed now than alot earlier. I have talked to my husband in full detail and he scanned and sent me the papers that he was given. Okay this is what it says.........

We got a 221g documentation pending........

There are 2 documents that ..are needed to be resubmitted.

Our co-sponsor is my Grandfather and he does have enough to sponsor, but for some reason, it's not good enough for the CO that interviewed Qasim. I have to again go ahead and do another I-864 and get that sent out again. ( this is my mistake cause I didn't send in enough income info :( ) but I got it now and going to resend it to Qasim.

Secondly..... my husband was married before and they said that his divorce decree does not """conform to Pakistani law"" My husbands eldest bro is a lawyer and it was done according to the Pakistani Law with his bro's help. Qasim again asked his bro, once home from embassy about the papers and he was like YES they are of Pakistan Law. IDK what they want from us?? Also Qasim is taking care of this and has already spoke to several lawyers there, so lets see what happens.

We just hope and pray that once we turn in all the documents .....we are approved and AP is over and visa in hand.....insha allaah

Also, of course we knew there would be AP and Qasim was told that would take a min of 6 wks. That was no surprise.

Okay guys get this >>>

the CO asked Qasim>> Why don't you live with your wife ?? ((Umm duhh what do you think we are trying to do here ))

Why don't you live in another country with your wife?? WTH??

The only other questions about our relationship was >>> how did we meet? , where did you marry? Why does your mom live there? and do we talk? ( of course everyday on phone and computer) but the rest of the questions......were about his first wife *sighs*

Right now, I'm really tired and I hope you can make heads or tails of this post........if not............sorry. I am just emotionally and mentally exhausted right now.

Anybody else that has been in this situation?? Please help!!!!!!!
