I updated the tracker. I hope the AP is over quickly at least you were prepared for the AP. I think that makes it a lot easier. Find peace in that you are one step closer to the end of you visa journey. Good Luck

Thank you (F)

Sorry to hear that Joe! I am sure you were all on a high- which came screeching downward once you figured out she opened something she shouldn't. Hope the initial shock of that is over now- and you realize that it is just a matter of a little time to correct it, but the main approval is DONE. For that, congratulations. :D

Muhammad and Maryam- Welcome to AP. ("additional pain" as I have heard others say) Hope you are not here long! :P

My update: Embassy called for passport last Tuesday. SO was told to go to DHL on Sunday. The mail didn't come through. They told him to come Monday- they didn't get through everything. They told him to come Tuesday; no luck today either. Each day he waited hours. What is up with DHL? :wacko:

I am hearing that ALL paperwork goes through them now and there are SO many packages that it takes time to sort and deliver. Makes me nervous as they see it in the system as being there, but for some reason can't get it to him. Argh. Insha'Allah tomorrow. At least we know it is approved! yeah! 9 months of AP.

Have a wonderful evening!

CONGRATS- finally!!!!! Just a tip- don't open the envelope marked "do not open" inside the package, like my gal did...

Maybe Mohamed is next... :) Good luck to all waiting- it's coming...
