Interview update.....

[jordanianprincess 0]

First of all, thanks to all the MENA ladies for keeping me company last night.

Ok so here are the results....I DONT KNOW

So he was interview 2 times, they asked alot of questions. I can't remember them all right now and we only spoke briefly because he had to go to a funeral. I will post an update later regarding the questions but she was rather concerned about the length of our engagmet and wanted to know why we didnt get married. She also asked alot about the priest that did our ceremony. She said our paperwork looked good.

So after both interviews the lady gave him a yellow paper that said we need additional processing that would take 4-6 weeks, she crossed out the 4-6 weeks and put 2 weeks. She gave him her card and told him that when he gets the call that the processing is done to send his paspport (they didnt keep it) to her via Aramex and that he was eligible to get the visa. I'm not clear if this means he actually got it. She didn't congratulate him or anything so I'm not sure, she was very nice to him he said and very helpful.

So right now I'm reluctant to celebrate because I'm a pesimist at heart and I want to be sure before doing so. So i guess the next step is to call DOS to find out whats going on.

Does anyone know what this yellow paper is?

I can't associate any yellow paper with amman. Might be a k-1 specific thing? See if he can scan&send it to you. Do you think she reduced the processing time because she only needs to verify that your ceremony wasn't indeed a wedding? That could be a good sign. Sorry they didn't close the deal in one shot. I really expected you to walk right through this. I hope dos has some good information for you.

Hmmmmmm a yellow paper. Not sure what that might be...

But from what you're describing, it all sounds fairly routine to me. In fact the "crossing out" of "4-6 weeks" and replacing it with "2 weeks" seems positive.

I was hoping he'd walk out with the visa, but insha'allah it's just a standard AR for name check, etc. and will be finished very soon.

Your recap of the interview was very good ! I know you're on pins and needles but hang in there JP.... I think you'll see the visa in hand very soon....

I don't know what this yellow paper is either but I know the women he had is a hard one, Faisal was lucky and only had her for two minutes and was thrown off to an older man. But a friend of mines husband had her and it was a hard interview and he's still in amman coz his wife is trying to get cosponsor with higher income. Anyway, sounds like he got the visa and that they want to do a few more checks on some things before so. So spirits up woman, looks like u will be seeing your husband soon. If you want, you can email your case directly to amman and they will answer you, say you are confused whether or not your husband will be here with you, etc. The long engagement, well, simple, you want the marriage in USA and they take to long for an interview date! Tada! Look forward to the visa girl, they wouldn't have asked for his passport by aramax in a few weeks if he didn't get it, that's my opinion.

a post it note?

they basically did the same thing to my husband (it wasn't yellow though....i don't think...) They told him 2 weeks..to bring back some information..he took info back and 2 days later they gave him his visa... I am sure it is just a standard thing and there is nothing to worry about! Much luck to both of you

Could it be the standard security check before we can issue the visa and the paper is just different in jordan than we see in other countries? I think it is optimistic news.

I am so tired I cant see the screen. I am getting too old for slumber parties I had a great time last night. MENA girls rock.

JP, I read your post this morning to Mohammed and he said this is normal. He got the same paper. You should hear something soon. His call came 12 days after the interview. I know you won't dance til after that call so we will put that debkah on hold.

Charles,

MENA interviews are not as cut & dry as other interviews. MOST receive administrative processing after the interview, which adds extra wait of 2 weeks - 2 years.

Good luck JP in getting past this quickly.

Well it sounds like it went pretty well and 2 weeks isn't so long when you look at how long you've waited this far so ok I'll 1/2 celebrate for you too!

How can you be tired? You left an hour before the results?? Just kidding. Yeah that was a fun party, even with only 4 of us there for the time I was in there. You girls are crazy but that is why I love you. Bringing extra diet to the next party since SOMEONE drank it all last night ok who's party is next?? Can't wait to hear the final word JP...

My guess is that the yellow paper is the 221g, but until you actually see it you won't know. Have your honey scan and e-mail it so you can see yourself.

Sounds like the standard stuff for an male from the Middle East, and it sounds as if it will be over with quickly. My first instinct is to congratulate you...But I understand you pessimism...
