Hello everyone I writing this because I dont know what else to do. I am happy for everyone that has completed their visa journey and for everyone that has not I feel thier pain. My journey has been ongoing for the past 2 yrs and this past Dec I traveled to Africa (Conakry) for the 1stime in my life and I am happy and proud to say that I have been to my motherland. My wedding and stay there was extraordianary and I will never forget the way the whole city open thier arms to me. I love my family there and all of my new neighbors and friends that I met. My wedding date was on Dec 21,2008 and I remember my family and my beautiful wife next to me and I remember my family here in the states calling me all day and even my ex wife calling my wife because she was happy for me to finally get married again, but I also remember my Godfather/bestman Dr.Hassian sitting next to me looking like a proud parent and his phone ringing and ringing during the entire ceremony and also another uncle of my wife that was the Chief of Security there in Conakry and how his phone was ringing also, but what we later found out was they was trying to contact them and Dr Hassian because their President Conte was sick and he later died that night. So for the next few days we was under martial law because no one knew what the soldiers would do. But we was ok my family took very good care of me. Then a few days later the Capt Camara took over and took power and my wife and family said that this is a good thing, I asked them are you sure because I was in the Military myself and the military dont think like most people but for the the time being the whole country was happy everyone had lights, water , rice and sugar. Last night my wife texted me and said she could not sleep she had a nightmare she saw death all around her and people was running everywhere , I tried to reassure her that everything would be ok but I am worried myself, so I called her today and finally got through to her and I was talking to her and I could hear the gunshots from the police and the soldiers, Capt Camara who every liked 10mths does not want to give up the power(fathom that) I feel so helpless and powerless because my wife and my family is there and I am here waiting and waiting for NVC to complete our case we got a RFE because my wife didnt put that she lived in her country at the age of 16 my stupid mistake for not catching that. So far 16 people has been killed today and many more wounded. We as Americans have been living a very sheltered life as far as what is going on overseas and we are indeed blessed in so many ways and we just dont know it. So my prayers goes out to everyone here that is not with thier loveones and I hope that everyone is reunited with them asap. Now I can begin to imagine what the people in the 3rd world country is going through and the Middle East. May God Bless you all and Keep you and your loveones safe and secure
