DOS called me!!!!

[Elva and Ehab 0]

Hello everyone, just got home for lunch, its been a crazy long day already, OMG!!

Anyways, I called DOS, spoke with a lady named Sue, she was very polite but stated my case was still being reviewed in Cairo and once they made a decision our case would move forward. Since I didn't read the earlier posts........lol....I didn't know to sniffle a little...

So I go on with my work day.....totally disappointed........then at 12:30 I receive a call from the 202 area code number I had called earlier. I am like OMG!!! This man states he is from DOS and would like to ask me some questions about my husbands case and did I have time to answer some questions...........I am like duh......lol..........I said yes I do.

He asked how my husband and I met, did he have any family, what were the names of his parents and siblings, what was my step fathers name and my bio-fathers name, how often do we communicate and how do we communicate and what our plans were when he comes to the states.

After that he said he will recommend that our case be moved forward so my husband and I can be together to start our life and someone would contact my husband to have him send in his passport.

I asked how much longer he thought that might be and of course he couldn't promise a time-line. But I had to try...lol

But this is crazy!!! Has anyone ever had DOS call to ask these questions?

I am so excited but at the same time I will believe it when I see the VISA!!!

That lady Sue is very nice, I remember she really helped Jean when she was waiting for her visa too. Good luck!

Well, I will just say I truly did remember you last night and this morning...more than once. And many others here, as well!

I LOVE a praise report, I do, I do, I do!!!

I've read on here that others have had that happen to them as well. It was also MENA nationals. I don't think it's completely out of the norm, for MENA anyway. You guys get "special" treatment. Whether you want it or not!

It's great news that they are finally moving forward. I hope your husband hears something soon. Congratulations.

Sounds like they called and gave YOU an interview (those questions sound suspiciously like the ones asked at the consulate). But at least you know they looked at your case today. Hopefully you will be creating a visa in hand thread soon.

Good luck dear! This sounds like a step ahead.

Although I am happy for you...I don't understand why the DOS called you.

I mean, once your husband has gone through the interview process and satisfied the consulate officer, then why is your case being asked the same questions over again by someone stateside (DOS)?

Additionally, they have the power to just "move the case up" like this????

Don't get me wrong, I am happy for you....but wondering why the rest of the people in AP aren't given the same treatment.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm DO you remember the entire phone number? I have been receiving calls from a 202 area code area but I ignore numbers I do not recognize. I am sure I gave them both our cell numbers if they need us for anything. I just got this number in January. However, my daughter answered once and told them she was my daughter and they asked her if she was handling my marriage.....but I had my friend Lecie from work call them back and she asked what kind of business it was and they said it was a business called CBR. Anyway, I am a little confused. Now I am worried. But if it was DOS they should have said it when we called back.

Yes, I agree, it was an interview. He asked some of the same questions they asked my husband, I am sure to compare answeres.

If I said I knew why they called me, that would be a false statement. I won't pretend to understand their system, because they don't seem to do anything the same with each case. I don't know how you took it, but the way I took this call was they didn't trust my husband's answers so they called me to compare. Who knows, we both may be wrong....lol. Anyways, I will take what I can get at this point. We've been in AP for almost 9 months and apart from each other 15 1/2 months. I am ready for my husband and I to start our life together.

I agree !

Sounds like good news, though -- they're definitely working on your case.

Best of luck for a visa in hand very soon !
