I just called DOS too.. no updates.. she even refused to give me the date for most recent update which was sometime duringt his week as told by the operato y'day... gosh they need to make up their mind for what information to give and what not.. I always wish for Sarah too but I hardly ever get her on phone!!!

yep lets look forward to tomorrow :-)

Scatch that last message! 2 minutes before I posted it, I had received the following from the Embassy.

Ms. WhidbeyGirl,

We can offer you an interview date of 24 Sep at 1500hr if that will work with your schedule? If not let us know and we will look for another date. As before remember to bring anything you feel will support your case. Just give us a reply to this e-mail attention Eligibility Review Unit.

oh thats nice... but don't they have anything sooner than that for you?!!?

oh well, good luck..I went for his interview and we were so happy that I did.. just you being there would make a great difference. :-)

I gave them two options for weeks I could be there and they took the furthest one out. Of course the first option was next week . I can't leave work before the 10th of each month and others have vacation through the 20th so the 24th was the next date I was available.

Best of luck whidbeygirl!

Smooth sailing!

hahaha ok this is embarassing but I have to share.. I called again y'day!! LOL I dont know what was I thinking but I got out of work around4:45 and thought hmm lets check .. MY BAD... I got this really mean operator on phone and she almost made me cry.. geuss what she said... AP PENDING... I was like NO WAY, the visa was issued y'day I am just calling to verify that.. these are her words: "you think I dont know what I am doing here?! It's PENDING until he gets the passport in his hands.. in the meantime anything can happen which can cause in suspenstion of the visa and because of people like you, we don't tell that visa has been issued until you recieve the call from embassy." I was sooo heart broken that the only thing I could say was "alrite thank you"

I mean come on.. yeah we understand that the process takes long n blahblah but at least be nice.. seriously, everytime I spoke to Sarah or Jessica I ended the phone call smiling and most of the tiem all they said was, "AP PENDING, you can call back anytime you wish" at least I wasn't about to choke on my own tears!

ahhh well, NO MORE DOS FOR US.. it's over!

WOW!!!! That scares the living daylights out of me too now! But hey, isn't your hubby picking up the passport today? So its gonna be in his hands TODAY! call back till you get the same one and give her a piece of your mind!

BTW which airlines did your hubby get a rate of 51k from? and whats the route?

[waiting4approval 2]

That was scary.. I seriously hoped and prayed that she doesn't mess it up.. she just sounded so angry!

Anyways, he picked up the passport today... yayyyyy and is now hunting for the ticket.. I don't recall talking about a ticket for 51k.. But last I heard (about 30 mins ago) he found one for Kuwait Airways for 52k in two weeks.. I have asked to find an earlier seat, if possible, but if not then Kuwait it is on Sept. 11, 2009.. NOT confirmed yet though!

WOW! yeah congrats!

9/11 is not a good thought, waiting a few days is better than being stuck in investigation.

of course you never know if that investigation will end at the airport or not!
