Samir at JFK

[esperando 0]

Ok I have come up for air. First of all Samir has been here for a week and its going great we applied for SSN and waiting on that.

Ok he took a royal jordanian flight out of Amman and they held the whole plane basically he was one of the first ones out due to his persistence but they held like 25 people. He told them so many times i will answer any questions but please my fiance is waiting in Cleveland for me and i need to get out of here and call her she must be so worried, who knows how long the others had to wait. He missed his flight on american airlines even though I gave him 5 hours between flights for immigration. They had no other flights available for two days to cleveland so we had to give up that ticket. Then I found one other flight on Continental leaving from Newark NJ and the buses where closed so he took the airport limo so it cost us 550.00 more plus the 350.00$ ticket we did not use. Of course I don't care about the money but wanted to let you guys know what happened in case it may help you with disicion making. If I had to do it again I would have taken airfrance or KML or something that took Samir through Europe maybe it would not have made a difference but thats what I would have done. Anyways hes here and all is good.

Love,

Allison

Well, congrats on your Samir getting here! That's the most important part!

Dont think going through Europe would have made much of a difference. They checked everything of mine in London since i had Henna on my hands. They only didn't strip search me! So, next time i took a direct fligth. And no more Philly either. They gave me hell here too. And NY was pretty smooth, well, at least for me. Don't know about people who aren't citizens, guess it's not smooth at all. Just thank God it's over. Some ppl still have a long way to go. Hope everything will go smoothly from now on for the both of you. And good luck!

Hi Allison. Glad you came up for a breather. I am happy you two are together and you can spend the fourth of July together. Hopefully I will have Hachemi here soon. Thanks for the POE advice.

I am so so happy for you guys. Enjoy your well earned bliss together. We haven't even reached NOA2 yet, but I have been researching flights after your post last week (it scared me thinking i may be waiting for 7 hours not knowing and then run the risk of my sweetie missing a flight transfer.). I am hoping to have him a flight with only one US stop, one close enough to where I live that I can drive there and wait for him. Air france has one that goes from morocco, paris, then final stop cincinnati which is only a 2 hour drive for me. Anyone ever have a fiance or spouse POE @ cincinnati? If I may ask (knowing you are really busy so apologies in advance), what took so long? Was he questioned that long, or just waiting to be questioned? Any unususual questions we should be prepared for?

Best of luck and all the happiness in the world to you guys!

I'm the same distance from Cincinatti and was wondering this exact same thing yesterday. Anyone have POE experiences with Cinci?
