He is sleeping now so I can update. I had the phone interrogation via the POE and he was held for two hours of intense questions. They said he married me for greencard, he was going back and not allowed into USA, they wanted every detail of how we met, the chat room, dates, when I applied for him, his residence here, and alot more questions. He was so scared and they almost held him too late to get his flight from Atlanta to Birmingham. Delta has lost his luggage and now it is found and should be here sometime before midnight now. It has been such a horrible experience.

We know they need to ask questions but they were obnoxious and rude to both of us. I am so glad that he is finally home and we are relieved that the past is behind us now. I am sorry but it has been world wind here. No luggage, kids graduations this am, and on phone trying to find luggage and now I am here to update.

Thanks to all for their support and prayers,

Mary

What a rotten welcome to America :(

My guess is the "lost luggage" is actually being gone over with a fine-toothed comb, and will re-surface once they get tired of poking through his shaving cream and toothbrush.

Thank God he's home safe now. Insha'allah that was the worst experience he will ever have to face in the U.S., and everything will be much better from here on.

Thanks for the update, and please extend to Ishteaq our heart-felt "Welcome to America"

Oh Mary. I am so so sorry to hear they did this to the two of you after all this. I cannot believe after all the screenings and judgements that are placed during the visa process that these apes at POE can pull this. Is this a usual occurence? Do they seriously interrogate AGAIN at POE???

Well, outrage aside, I am so so happy to hear you have your darling in your arms. After a day or two you will both forget all these unpleasantries and settle into your life together. You are both in my prayers always.
