He did, he was extremely upset...

He told me that the first man was nice to him, but the second one was so mean!! He requested if he can do the interview in Arabic with the second man but he Denied his request. He asked him a few questions about me, then turn to questions about the orgin of his last name :angry:

Then in the end the CO was laughing and typing things in his computer. My Husband didn't understand these questions about his name. Then he turned around and told my husband that he couldn't give him the approval until he got something back from Washington, then gave him this form 221g. He asked for his phone number and that they would call him when it was ready...They didnt take his passport.

The wording in the back is what freaked my husband out, but I calmed him down and explained it to him.

I am still extremely upset and now I am praying this will go fast with an approval!!!

INSHALLAH... Please keep us in your thoughts

I dont' know the color, I forgot to ask, but my hubby will send me a copy of it soon, he was so upset at the moment I didn't want to keep pressing him. I did email the Embassy to find out more... So I will see what they say tomorrow.... They didn't say No , or yes, just the they couldn't give him the approval until they received something from Washington... But they didn't ask for any other documents.... I am praying for you guys too!!! And everyone who is stuck in the Black Hole

hey nita

its realy nothin to worry about.. if they are waiting for something from washington, then it is from dept of state- they will be sending ur hubys file for sec clearance... usually takes about 6-8 weeks for most cases

just call them up and chek on it and see wats up with ur case,

theyll prob just say its in admin processing- its pending

see what embassy says, and the reason visa was not issued

even we were not asked for docs, they dint deny visaor approve it, she said u will geet it after 4-6 weeks.. but were stil waiting, case isunder AP at washington :(

i know it sucks.....

Hun,

sigh, still....I am here side by side with you, we have discussed at length this early am what is going on and will wait for your voice to be on the other end of the phone again, I am heartbroken and I am going out on a limb here NOW to say something and I dont care what anyone says, because these are my principals and I am disheartned at what you said.....about the man who interviewed your luv.

VERY ANGRY HOW DARE THEY DENY HIM THAT ARABIC INTERVIEW, the guy was a #### - I wont go into the other words I said to you, but I am side by side with you just waiting to hear good news and also to give you any and all support.

My prayers inshallah
