I've seen a few newer members (new to me at least) with SO's from Jordan. There are so few of us on here that I thought it would be nice to get to know you all.

I'm Amal. My hubster is from Irbid, Jordan. We married in December 2004 and he arrived in the USA in December 2005. We moved from Missouri (my home state all my life) to Houston, TX in 2007 because hubster thought "the life would be so much better" here and there was no convincing him othewise. I'm a CPhT (Certified Pharmacy Technician) and have a 10 year old son.

Visited Jordan-December 2004

Interview-December 2005

Visa approved-December 2005, 1 week later after supplying "more information"

Arrived U.S.A.-December 2005

Removed Conditions-September 2008

Divorced in December 2013

I'm not new but not really "in" the crowd so much. But I'm Mariah and my husband is Amer, and he was born and lives in Amman (Quewesmeh) Jordan, but with the dreaded Gaza stamp, making him a citizen of nowhere and effectively a "prisoner" in Jordan. We married in July 08 and I was in Jordan with him until September, my 8 yo daughter has a 2 month summer visitation order with my ex husband so I was able to spend time there and we went ALL over. I also visited him there again for 20 days just over a month ago, which was nice but made it harder to leave and harder to deal with the seperation all over again after I was just about used to it.

He's a refrigeration and sheet metal fabrication specialist there and I work as a licensed nurse here in a nursing home. His interview at the embassy in Amman is in a few days now and I'm a nervous wreck.

Timeline: 13 month long journey from filing to visa in hand

If you were lucky and got an approval and reunion with your loved one rather quickly; Please refrain from telling people who waited 6+ months just to get out of a service center to "chill out" or to "stop whining" It's insensitive,and unecessary. Once you walk a mile in their shoes you will understand and be heard.

Thanks!

Hi everyone, I'm not new here neither, just not really part of the "in crowd"

My name is Kristen, met my husband (then fiance) in 2007 online and then in person. He's from Irbid, Jordan. We did the K1 process which was difficult for us (whenever is it not??!). He made his way here to San Diego, California in November 2008. We married on December 31, 2008. Things are great! :luv:

We both have no children, and plan on waiting for a few more years before we breed. :lol:

Oh, I'm a serial part-timer: teach American Sign Language (ASL) at a couple universities/colleges/adult schools. And an accountant.

Anyway, hi!

I teach ASL as it is my "natural" language, and have been teaching in the past 7 years. I happen to be Deaf, too.

Accounting, cuz I'm darn good at it. :-P

Really, my passion are languages, cultures, and FOOD. *smack lips*

Psst.... thanks for the welcome, altho I've been a member since early 2008 ;)

I feel like the real newbie here!

I am still only engaged and waiting for my fiance's visa to be approved. Our papers were received in Vermont on 1-22-09.

My fiance lives in Amman now and works for Orange (the telecommunications co.). I am in southern West Virginia and I think this is where we will stay for a while when he gets here because all of my family is here (I have 2 children 19 and 16).

I visited him in November and we haven't seen each other since then. We are praying that this processing goes smoothly and quickly as I just changed jobs and have no vacation time to go back over there!

I hired an attorney when we first started this process, but after I found this site, I fired him! But I can use any advice you all can give me!

Thanks for all the support!
