:dance: :dance: I am extremely happy to announce that Esmat's visa was approved!!!!!!!!! :dance::dance::dance:

His interview time was 8:00 a.m. I talked with him before I went to sleep at 12:30 a.m. my time. I figured I would hear from him around 4-5 a.m. My alarm went off at 6:30 a.m. and he still had not called....I called his cell phone which was still turned off.....then called his brother's phone that I know was waiting for him and just as I called his brother Esmat was returning to the car from the embassy!!! He was in there for 5 and half hours waiting...for an interview that took no more than 15 minutes.

Esmat said when the interview started he gave the consulate officer everything he had brought. The man quickly glanced at it. He asked Esmat:

Why did you get married to Debra?

Where does Debra work?

Do you know about Debra's 2 children and what do you think of them?

Do you have pictures of you and Debra together?

The man asked about the pictures but he did not look at any of them.

The visa was approved and overall Esmat was very satisfied with his interview at the Amman Embassy...except for the extremely long wait.

And now I can't believe my sweet husband will be here soon!!! I have missed him so much our whole first year of marriage.

Thanks to all for your support, laughs and the comfort you all provide just by being there for me and each other. I know our experience would have been a lot harder if it weren't for this site and all of the advice and things I learned from reading through the forums and talking to others here. You guys are great!! I am not going anywhere, by the way!

Have a great day!

Thanks everyone!!

Yeaaahhh....gosh the feeling of relief today is incredible....it feels so XXXXXXX great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now I still have 2 things to be semi-anxious about.....waiting for the actual visa to be in his hand....and waiting for his flight to get here....he hasn't scheduled it yet...we are playing it safe and waiting until he has his passport back to schedule anything. Flights are readily available within a day or two so I think we will be ok with him getting it scheduled quick once he gets his passport back.

Ash- You don't know how bad I can't wait to go hang out and chat with ya while the guys chat and do argeelah and just relax with a gigantic smile on my face and true happiness in my heart because I will finally be LIVING AGAIN!!!!

Hmmm...I smell my dreams coming true...they are sososossoso close now!! :dance::dance:
