AP TRACKER

[zeha14 0]

so my wife went on Thursday. Reached the embassy at 1:30...was out by 2:30 with the VISA.....oh my God!!! After a year of this crappy process,it is finally over.. Thanks a lot to everyone on VJ. I wouldnt have gotten through this without all the advice and support.

Then we bought her ticket and out of all the airlines, we chose AIR FRANCE....So we all know what happened with the whole Ashes and airport closures. So the utter happiness plummeted pretty fast. Her flight got cancelled but some good persistent hounding of the airport officials and she got put on a direct flight from dubai to Usa. I should be seeing her in the next 12 hrs. I will update you guys with her POE experience.

Thanks again everyone and please, Update me on the spreadsheet

It seems I have the dubious honour of being the only female on the list, as well as the only one from a low-profile country...I'm more and more convinced that nobody wants to admit that my file is lost!!

Drum roll please....... I decided to call the DOS 30 minutes before they closed today just to see if anything were updated after "the call" from the embassy last week and .......................

THE LADY TOLD ME HIS VISA WAS ISSUED ON APRIL 18TH!!!!!!!!!!!!! (which was Sunday I know --- this country works Sunday-Thursday!)

The embassy has not called him yet so its not actually in his hand --- BUT THERE'S A VISA NUMBER

wow Malarie! Congrats! That is such wonderful news. Mash'Allah! We hope to hear some positive news on our behalf soon too. Here's what happened with us...

Today I called DOS to ask if there was anything new since I had called last Tuesday or Wednesday. So, the lady was shocked at how long Zaheer was in AP.. (5 and a half months) and she was like "Wow.. he has been in AP a long time." and I said "Yeah" and she was looking at his file then said "They have his Passport, right?" and I said "Yes we sent it about a month and a week ago. And she kept looking and said "Yeah.. you know... you should...." then she kept pausing then she said "Why don't you call back by the end of the week..." and I didnt hear her well so i said "Im sorry, when should I call back, I didnt hear u" and she said "Call back by friday, we should hear something by then." And I was like "Ok, are there any notes on his file recently?" and she said "Only a congressional reply on March 31, but you know that, right?" and I said "Yes, I am sure that is when my senator's office replied to me." and she said "Yeah, it's still pending but why dont you call back by friday, hopefully we will know something by then." and I said ok and thanked her and then got off the phone. So, anyhow.. thats all that happened with us. I know it was finished with AP back on the 17th of March, and then put back on it around the 22nd.. so, let's see what happens. I am hoping the "Back on AP" is just because of his passport. Wish me luck. Allah Hafiz.

Ooh, that sounds positive! Lots of great news all around. Seems like somebody woke up in Washington and realized they're taking too long. Here's hoping for the answer you want on Friday - you know the next three days are going to be agony! Best wishes for you both!
