prince of egypt had a second interview visa was received 3 weeks later

and sunnyandkleo after 5.5 months had a second interview and received the visa 2 weeks later

I really feel this will never end

:crying: cry me a river

I think MANY of us feel your pain! It will end, eventually, that's for certain...

When my hubby went in to sign his DS230 last week and pay for shipping of the passport/visa, he was told it would arrive in 2 weeks. One week down, one to go (assuming their time line is...ahem...accurate). Each day feels like an eternity now that it's so close (especially after 2+ years of the waiting game)!!!

I wish you and your SO the best. Keep the faith- I know it can be so hard sometimes to see the light at the end of the tunnel, but, trust that it is there! :)

Summer 2003- We met (in the U.S.) and began dating.

Summer 2004- My SO moved back to Egypt; I spent a month there with him.

December 2004- SO called my parents and got permission to ask for my hand in marriage; They said yes, of course!

Christmas 2004- I traveled back to Egypt and accepted his proposal while we were on the sands by the Red Sea...

July 2005- Got married; I moved to Egypt

Nov. 2005- Began the immigration process!!!

July 2006- Hubby's immigrant "interview" at embassy in Cairo was no interview- told to file waiver for past visa overstay

Aug. 2006- Waiver sent from Cairo to Athens

April 2007- Waiver transferred from Athens to Rome

August 2007 - I moved back to U.S. from Egypt in anticipation of waiver approval (just had a feeling!!) and to continue my career because my 2 year work contract had expired in Cairo and my wondeful job was still here waiting.

Nov. 2007- Waiver approved... thank the good Lord!!!!

Dec. 2007- Interview- but not really an interview- just had to sign the updated DS230; Told to expect visa in 2 weeks.

Jan. 2008 - Visa in hand! It actually did arrive in 2 and a half weeks... Hubby back in our home 2 days later!!!

Feb. 2008- Green Card arrives

Today and everyday- Loving life back in our home, having a blast, enjoying every moment with family and friends, praying for all of you still waiting! Miracles DO happen!!!
