Thank you ladies!! You are the best!! I would have gone insane without your support, you have been of a great help to me through this.. Love you all xxxx

Sharifah, I LOVE the new waiting couch hehe..

Things have gone a lot crazier for me at home, but it was a perfect timing being fasting for a whole month.. I was calm hopeful and peaceful alhamdulillah.. John helped me A LOT through this.. He listens for hours, bears with my moods, always reminds me of how things will be when we don't have to deal with this again... I wouldn't say things got better with family... They didn't.. But I'm handling it better and being calm... I still do care about my family and hope things will get better one day...

Thank you HLM, Amanda, Betsy, Kenza, Jeanne, Sandrila, Amy, Lisa, Sharifah, Andrea, and Beth..

Amanda, I love the new screen name. B) I bet hubby calls you Amoon

Morning ladies!!! Sharifah, yes we tracked the DHL package. The embassy kept telling me it was close to being ready and then they send they would send it with DHL and that night I saw the tracking information change. Hubby had it the next morning!!! Now we just have to decide when he will arrive!!! We are thinking early to mid October. Have a great day ladies!!!!

Aya I wish you all the best! And yes, my hubby calls me Amoon. He has called me that from the beginning and it stuck.

I am a little depressed....this time last year I was preparing myself to go to Jordan. But that means we are just a few weeks away from our 1 year anniversary. Its funny how I look now and say, wow a year already..where did it go?!! But when we were waiting on USCIS & NVC it seemed like an eternity. So keep your heads up ladies and stay strong...your time will come very soon although it doesn't feel like it. I pray God blesses each one of you immensely.

Have a great Hump Day.

Morning all, Iwish I could say its a good morning, but its not, I called NVC and was told our CR-1 is also in AP. Its hopeless now, I wish I ccould just crawl under a rock. K3 in AP since 08-11-09 and now this am, told same for CR1. I give up, its not meant to be.

ladies, after 5 calls, I got a supervisor Ms. Lila, she pulled my K3 petition I-129F and took it out of AP and sending to embassy. She told me to call her Friday for a update to see if already sent to Paris, but she did pull it, after tears, and choking on phone, she told me to breath, its going to be alright. She was a very nice lady, and made sure I understood to call and ask for her on Friday.

Dont know what will happen with the CR1, she herself did not understand why in AP, she is also moving that petition into final review now herself. Someone please tell me she was real, that she told me the truth.

See...don't loose faith. Everything works out for good for those who serve the Lord. Keep praying and trusting in God.

Beth! Thats great news!! I believe it because the latest trend for AP at NVC is around 20 days and you've already gone past that, so I would trust that she pulled it out.

And even if you want the CR1, its not going to be in AP that much longer.

This is great and Im so happy for you.

:makes stern look: I dont EVER wanna hear "I give up" again...understand?!

Yes Mom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love you all!!!

Aww Beth how stressing! Yet, alhamdullilah the supervisor sent the K3 to the embassy!! I am glad to hear that. Although, I don't understand why the CR1 got put in AP. I thought, that only K1 and K3 get AP.

I really hope the CR1 will be at case complete soon. It really is the better visa to get, although I know you have a time crunch. What about the extention for your man's residency card? What has he done so far to do that? Keep us posted honey. Hugs.

Further update: AP for CR1 does not mean the AP hell we all know. AP for CR1 means its in final review, last desk before case complete.

Why in the hell could a operator tell me this???, this is what the supervisor basically told me as I think it all over now, and a VJer also confirmed this, she too went thru same nightmare of hearing those words AP, The AP is sooooo mis-representated, and can scare the hell out of a person. So Ive learned a lesson, the worst a person hears is not always what it means. I do thank my lucky stars I got a supervisor who had a heart, took her time with me, and actually did something, and not just look in the system and read what was in it.

Hubby is trying to take a teaching position with a school in France, teaching English, I asked him Who will teach you English, he laughed and so did I , I needed that. Actually his English is superb!!! We will figure this out, and he also wont ever let me give up. he is my rock and the super glue that holds me together. Thank you all, I know Im whiney at times, its just my nerves are shot with this whole mess.

Hugs to all, and Amanda, thank you Hon!!(((((((((((((((((((()))))))))))))))))))) Hugs!!!
