Hello everyone. Just got back into town yesterday...I feel like I haven't slept in 4 weeks....it's true I haven't. I got to the airport 6 minutes before they closed the flight and prior to that we had a very busy week including the interview. My wife and I put about 2000 miles on the car in a few weeks...yep all in Jordan. Craziness I tell ya! I would say that's like driving 5000 miles in the US over the same period of time. We went all over Jordan sightseeing and to the medical and enterview appointments it was a 1.5 hour drive one way.

I would like to thank all those who sent their well wishes to us. I just read the threads and posts but I don't think it would be a good idea to pull up the old threads and respond individually. I sincerely appreciate everyone's prayers and positive words. Thank you SO much!

I will post a detailed description of what took place in the next few days at the medical exam and the consulate. I was fortunate to be at both and I hope that my first had experiences help others going through Amman in the future (or at least until they change the procedures...which I hope they don't do as they are much more effiecient then a few years ago. Hopefully the consulate in Iraq will open soon and take some of the burden off AMM). I am still trying to get back into things and the jet lag is killing me. I returned to a flat tire on my truck that I had to get repaired yesterday (took them 4 hours of me waiting for them to pull in my car into the garage). I have a 140 mile drive ahead of me today to get home and I will be leaving for that trek shortly. Also I have work tomorrow :o .

Short story on the visa...we were approved after a very very short interview. I would say it was less than 5 minutes. Only one question, about how we met. The passport has not been returned to us yet, but I expect it soon and ISA today.

My trip overall was great. The wedding reception was a blast! And R and I rented a flat for the weeks after the wedding and spent some quality time together.

I had the privledge and absolute pleasure of meeting JJ's husband while I was there. He's an extremely likable gentleman who is very kind and just an all around great person. You both are very lucky to have one another! Alhamdulilah. Hopefully JJ, R and I will visit you and I in Chicago in the near future. Inshallah ya rub.

Also, to 0, from K & O, were you on Delta flight DL023 from Amman yesterday/Friday night? I thought that was you holding the brown evelope in the immigration line at JFK....but wasn't certain...white and black/blue zippered sweathsirt? Appologies for not coming up to you and introducing myself...but i was already in the US citizen line. I just wasn't too sure it was you and felt a little awkward just coming up to you and saying I know you! LOL. I am actually VERY shy in person. I hope you made it through without any problems...the officers seemed ok for it being 6am. I just read now you were hoping to travel on Nov. 8 so now I'm like 90% sure it was you...so sorry again. Anyways, welcome to the United States and I wish you and K all the very best and a great life together.

Congrats to all those who have gotten approvals and visa's over the past several weeks.

WELCOME BACK!

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

Welcome back.

Can I just say I am a little confused? Your wife or fiance got the visa? Maybe I am reading this wrong, but what it sounds like is that she was your fiance, and she got the K-1, but then you got married while there. Is that correct?
