Hey Joe How are ya ?

I hope that everything is going ok with you .Did your fiancee get her visa yet ?

Good luck everyone and i hope that we all will hear good news soon .

She finally just got the visa re-issued just yesterday. She had to re-do all the labs and medical, (and get 6 shots again) then take the results back to the embassy. Then, they gave her the visa again! It is good until July, and she is palnning on coming in June, as her son is in school until then.

Any news on your case?

Joe

Unfortunately no. I got two letters from my both senator's offices as a reply from the embassy in Islamabad. They said "We have received your request for information about Mr. Ahmed's case and it is still under Necessary Administrative Processing which can neither be Expedited nor Waived." Then it says they will contact us when it is finished. So.. unfortunately, AP can't be sped up at all. Or else I wouldn't be stuck here in USA all alone about to give birth and still waiting for my hubby for the last 4 months.

Joe- that's great news! Congrats! Hopefully June will come soon!

HotGuy- that is good news! I am sure it is a bittersweet announcement- you are near the end; but you are still in AP. Hang in there. I think of you often and pray things happen soon.

To everyone else in AP- I know it is tough. Hang in there! In your darkest times believe it will happen. Once it does happen, it will be unexpected and happen so quick. We were watching the updates on the embassy site- but that isn't accurate. They still do not show us being done and it is going on 3 weeks later... so, you just never know when you are going to get that life-changing phone call.

Praying for everyone-

Baj

ah. the longing....

Hey everyone.. quick question. Anyone here been called by the Embassy and asked to submit any additional info besides Passport? We are waiting in AP for 4 months now. I called DOS today and they said they have been trying to call my hubby but he is not receiving the calls. Strange. they have his correct phone number, I don't know why they aren't being able to contact him. They said for 2 weeks they were trying to call him. So I asked them if they are just requesting info or what? And she said she doesn't know but probably requesting info. But maybe could be passport too? Insha'Allah. I am hoping it is the passport. I called them back to ask if it was still pending and they said as far as they see its still pending they have just been trying to call him. So... if anyone has been contacted by embassy and asked anything, what has it been and how long after that did you hear back form them? Please, any info helps. It has been so long since I left Pakistan and I am gonna have a c-section on March 18th! I wish Zaheer could be here for the baby but now it doesn't seem that way. Well, take care all and Allah Hafiz.

Hi Patricia. You enjoying the cold weather? Hehe. It has been in the 40s here in Palm beach. Bet Donald Trump has his snow-hair on. Anyhow. Yeah, I am wondering if they want his brothers/sisters info. i sent them an email like a month ago pertaining to the way the spelled his name and told them his brothers names too. Not his sisters, though. I said that all his brothers names are spelled Ahmed and his father's name and his uncles' names. Basically his father's whole side of the family is all spelled Ahmed. Well, whatever it is they want... I am ready to oblige them. Yeah, strange... they said they been calling him on his cell but he has never gotten any call from Islamabad numbers. Yes, I have sent them many emails about the pregnancy. Since the interview, we have been emailing them about it, and even the congressman's office has been keeping them "reminded" about my due date. I was 20 weeks pregnant at the interview, so they were able to see it with their own eyes. We brought all medical reports and ultrasounds but of course they didn't ask to see any evidence. So. Insha'Allah it is for the passport. Oh, Allah is Most Great, whatever it is they want. At least they have contacted us. Thank you so much to you and Rana brother. Because you have helped us so much through these stressful times. I am sure I still have some waiting time left, of course.. but at least I have you two to share experiences with. Isn't it so odd how all of us who take so long: You/Rana, Sibtain, Me/Zaheer..... all from Florida?? very strange. Maybe Florida has angered the embassy somehow. hehehe... well, wish us luck. i continue to pray for you everyday. Please keep us in your prayers. I am not too worried about the C-section anymore.. but I wish zaheer could be here to say Azaan in her ear in person. Seems like he will have to do it over the phone instead. I wonder if Jupiter Hospital has Wi-Fi access? LoL. Gotta love Skype. Take care, Patricia, and all of the rest of ou in AP with me. Keep us in your prayers.. you are surely in ours. Allah Hafiz.. and God Bless.
