Hello there Guys, just got off the phone with the Wife, the good news is finally hear and both my grandmother and wife's Visa has been approved, Yaaaa. Thank you everyone in VJ Family and also the mighty lord. I couldn't go to sleep and I told my wife that I will stay awake until I get the good news phone call.

Now its pretty much just pay the Visa Fee (Local) and my uncle will take care of that tomorrow and then it just wait for the passport to show up and I have already told my uncle and father-in-law to start to look for tickets. I will talk to my wife over the weekend and will share the interview information!

Thanks Again to VJ Family and God, soon we will be united!

Congrats Josh! I hope to be singing the same praises very soon.

I was checking out your timeline and you have a long gap between paying your DS-230 and mailing it in. What exactly were the issue/issues? I will also be dealing with "Crazy India" and hope to learn from your experiences. Thanks!

The problem was with Paperwork from wife. Someone decided to help themselves and see whats in the package, so I had to wait another month before I get the DS-230 Forms from my wife.

Josh

Thank You everyone, I hope everyone else get there Visa soon too!

Congratulations!

Allah[swt] says: “You may have someone in your mind, someone in your heart, someone in your dreams, someone in your life, but I am your someone when you have no one"He[swt] reminds us saying "O Prophet! Allah is sufficient for you and for the believers who follow you." [[Qur'an:8:4]] So when you slip and fall, remind yourself of Ar-Rahman Ar-Rahim, the One whose always there, just waiting for your Call!
