Thanks again everyone. Pat, I don't know if they did a field investigation. they never tell me what they do. In november the embassy told us that the file was sent back to embassy for processing. So they finished the US checks within the month, and then it was 4 and a half months of AP at the Embassy level. They never asked about his brothers or anythng. We think it took such a long time cuz he works for the gov't. I wish you the best of luck and Zaheer was worried about rana bhai. he said "Allah Bless him". So.. we hope to hear good news from you soon.

Thanks tara and well wishes to your husband as well. If they did a field investigation they would have come to visit your husband and his family or employer and ask questions, i guess not everyone has field investigations, glad it was smooth sailing for you all. Best of luck, Pat

Just wondering if he could claim refugee status/political assylum? I have no idea how it works...but maybe it could speed along the process for you? I'm here in Paris worried about living arrangements for 3 weeks from now - trying to make a decision about leasing another apartment and shelling out significant cash for something we don't know if we'll need (i.e., if we get the visa before then). But reading your situation and Tara/Zaheer's and Wellmux make me feel silly. I know everyone has their own frame of reference, but our 'problems' pale in comparison to yours. We're not in danger or poor health or without support.

We both wholeheartedly wish you all a speedy and positive outcome from AP. I feel good news coming for all! With Zaheer and Malarie getting their visas this week and Starlight and HotGuy getting some good news from DOS, the rest of us are just a matter of time! I think collective positive thoughts are bound to have their effect.

I'm really sorry to hear that Can he go to one of the safer cities? I suppose we forget how lucky we really are...wishing you the very best, and hoping that you hear good news very, very soon!! In the past week or so three people have recived their visas: mza001, Zaheer and now Malarie so there's every chance that it's your turn next.

He isnt allowed to apply for refugee because he is in Iraq.He can apply as refugee after he works for the us for 1 year.Or if he flees Iraq he can file.He has nowhere else to go.And where he is staying now the cousins are selling the house he is in.So he must leave there soon also.He has an interview Thursday with a securitys company whom contracts out for our military so hopefully he will get a job.But it is so dangerous because he will now be hunted for working for the us.So he may be killed.But he must do what he can to survive,he has to eat.I am sad our government went over there and started a war then left these people i this situation.So many have fled.Alen did and then was sent back to Iraq from sweden.It is so much money to flee again and then you have to have a way to support yourself.We just dont know what to do.This could take a year or so.He still has to wait for sweden to tranfer our case there after we get out of ap.Then they could require another interview and then mabe even ap again.Im so scare3d for him .And discouraged because i cant even go there and marry him and refile for spouce visa because of the war and i dont even know if we could marry there.Im just having a bad day i guess.Seems like everyone is getting ap these days and only a few are getting out.It sucks that we all must suffer because of terrorist.I pray every night for each and everyone one of you on here.May we all be reunited with our loved ones soon.Please keep us in your prayers as well.
