Lol...you all make me laugh.

Here is the latest update>>

He was at the consulate yesterday from 2pm-5pm. (His appt was at 3pm)

I called him at 4:45 thinking he was on his way home...wrong... :crying: ...there were 4 men still waiting including him.

I said OMG darling, why is it taking so long??? He had no idea but was assured he would get his visa according to what the consulate told him and the others.

Well... at 5:15 he calls me...no visa, consulate closed, come back Monday. I kinda knew that was gonna happen when I spoke with him earlier. But he was told he would get it. Liars!

So my poor sick husband is staying in casa until Monday.

He has a stomach virus or something causing him severe stomach pain, nausea and diarrhea. It is a long trip back to his city. He would just be getting back home and leaving again Sunday night. I told him if he wanted to go back home to please do so. He had brought no clothing or personl supplies with him. He can buy some or stay with family to wash his clothes if he is up to it. I know it is hot there.

I asked him what time he was to be back at the consulate...at 3 pm again!! Two hours before closing. Darn, the trains are loaded in the afternoon! Oh well, we are learning more patience, right?

His ticket is paid for, we just need to get a darn visa!!! Maybe he will be here next week??? I am so hoping, but then again I picked up so much overtime I might not get to see him much. Thats ok, he can camp in the parking structure and I'll visit him there on my breaks!!! JK.

I am not complaining to much I hope :D .

this has been a very long long experience for us to say the least. At least we now see light at the end of it.

Thanks to everyone!!!

Oh he just said he is feeling better today, whew I am so relieved to hear that!

I see you posting! TYPE FASTER! TYPE FASTER!

lol...yes I am trying!!

I am very dyslexic, so forgive all the typosssssssssssss

Atif told me to tell you both Congratulations! and he advised that you have your husband go early so hopefully he will be seen sooner. :D [Although his appt was at 11am and he didn't get in the interview until 4pm of that day.]

I'm SOOOOO happy for you. :dance::dance: You have been a blessing to me when we had the problems back in Feb and March of this year. I pray that you will be together as fast as possible.

Chiquita,

If they gave him an appointment for 3 p.m. at Monday then he might not be able to go to early, but if I was him I'd go at least 2 p.m. If they only gave him the suggestion to go at 3 p.m. if I was him I'd go when they open and tell them he'd gladly wait, maybe that will help insure he gets it. Hope he feels better by Monday if not that they have a handy bathroom at the Consulate for him to use.

But you know what they told him so you can figure out how much you can push it.

If I was you I'd send them an e-mail saying you are sending your husband early and hope they will get everything processed fast for him and that you appreciate all the help so you both can finally breath and have it in hand. It sure can't hurt but be nice about it and talk them into it.

Wish the best.

Paula

Thanks. I am going to ask him to go early. I wonder if going at 8 would be ok? If not then there is no use for him to go until after lunch, say like 1pm. That would be great if he could get it earlier.

He would avoid the rush hour croud until he gets to Fes. I asked him to ask his brother to pick him up in Fes.
