And_Sam, the 4 months of phone records is not a normal requirement for AOS or ROC so I wouldn't worry about it. I believe this has to do with a second interview. Most people don't require second int

Good Morning MENA!!!

Hope everyone had a good weekend.

Well Mohamed talked with his work and they agreed to terminate his contract 6 months early (which is in 6 months). They have his passport in their corporate office and will not give it back to him before then, so even if he wanted to do the visa in KSA I'm not sure if he could without his passport. Does anyone know if Cairo will extend our approval from USCIS for another 6 months?

Im off again today to Detroit for work, and when I come back I'm taking the kids to Disney for the Halloween party.

Have a good day all!!

Good morning/afternoon! Absolutely beautiful day here. It's under 90!

So happy Amal that his family will be coming for a visit! Have they had a

chance to come to the states before? Have a wonderful time with them!!

Mandy, sorry they won't give him back his passport. I've heard from several

people that they do that as they want people to fullfill their contracts. Does he

have any plans on what to do next? Will he just stay and finish it out?

Our progress with Wael's citizenship is going pretty fast. He has his biometric

appt Oct 21. He's so excited about becoming a citizen. He's such a sweetheart.

Going to drag him away from the books this evening and go out to dinner.

Hope everyone is having a good day and a great weekend! Enjoy the rest of the day!

Amal I'm so happy your in laws are coming! I wish I could convince hubby's mom to visit, but she has no desire to come to the USA!

Jeanne~glad to hear its cooling down for ya! I actually had the windows open Friday night and hubby came home from work and the temp inside the house was 1 degree different than normal and he asked why is it so hot in the house??? LOL :rofl: I do believe he is becoming Americanized!!! How in the world will he survive when we go back to visit Egypt????:whistle: :whistle:

Well I can now honestly say that I HATE to go CAR SHOPPING!!!:bonk: We only went for a couple of hours Saturday afternoon but it was soooo PAINFULL!!! By the time we looked at a couple of cars I was ready to rip somebody's head off!!:girlwerewolf2xn:

Hmmm, I wonder if could pay somebody to go with hubby to look at cars????

Ok, I hope everybody's Monday starts out good!

The contract was for 1 year, so they have agreed to let him terminate it 6 months early, but we will have to pay. Will the embassy give us a hard time about extended our NOA2 approval until he gets back to Egypt in 6 months?
