Okay, so I was finally touched! Its possible that it could simply be from the inquiry from the ombudsman, but I am so tired of this that I am hoping we are finally at the next step.

BTW...you guys are the first ones I have told, I don't even dare tell my husband because it will set off a bunch of emotions for him. He has lost hope of ever getting a visa and wants to give up and have me move there. I am the one pushing it, I don't want to leave my family behind.

Insha'allah it's good news, girl ! At least you now know your paperwork isn't just sitting there gathering dust -- someone has finally looked at it.

Keep the faith -- you're in my prayers.

Yessss I am so happy to see this for you guys!!

It's about time that your turn came around. I'm sure this can only be good news. You have waited so long now... I hope you will soon follow in Chiquita's footsteps and get that Visa soon.

Good luck I am so happy for you. Have a great time in Morocco and congratulations on the movement.

I just love you guys!! You know my husband laughs at me. I get a certain look in my face as we are talking, and he knows right off what the look means. First thing he says is "Visa Journey". Of course he is always right...lol

Thanks for your words of encouragement, it gets me through the days.

haha that's funny. Hicham always knows that if I am frustrated it's because of VIsa Journey and then I usually proceed to talk about it for 20 minutes until I realize that it doesn't interest him.

He informed me that VJ is OVER in one week haha.

Sometimes we lose hope when it takes so long but that is why we have our loved ones and why we love them so much to get us through these bad times. It's also why you have VJ :D Hang in there, I pray you hear very good news soon.
