:dance::dance: Hi all! Well, Zizi made his fourth and final trip to Casa....they actually issued the Visa this time! This has been an exhausting journey ladies, and the reality of it is still sinking in! We are so happy that he is really finally coming. Ours was drug out especially long for security checks and the need to get a Spanish Police Certificate. What I learned from this, that I can pass on to others to hopefully shorten your wait:

1) If you fiance has spent any significant amount (six months or more) of time outside of Morocco, work on getting your police certificate early in the process. Even if they didn't have a residency, you can get a Spanish police certificate by hiring a Spanish Lawyer.

2) Don't count on it taking the 5 months they estimate for this visa. Security checks alone can push that up to 9 months.

We had a b**** of a consulate officer who made the whole process especially stressful for us. I am so glad this is behind us now and we really can look forward to a normal life. I can hardly believe it!

Thanks to all of you that put up with my whining and incessant questions! To all those that are waiting: Your day WILL come!!!

Zuki

Thank you Noura. He'll be here in a week or so after the Eid. He's an only son and needs to attend to some needs his mom has. I feel so lucky to have him.

Thanks Charles! Hope yours goes quickly!

Congratulations. What a great way to start off the new year. :dance:

Allah tries his chosen people through many hardships, but those who persevere through adversity, surrendering themselves before the will of Allah, shall be blessed with a superb reward.

-The Prophet Muhammad (SAW), as reported by Anas bin Malik

A time will come when the sky is torn apart; when the stars scatter, and the ocean drains away; and when the graves are tossed about, and laid open. At that time every man will be told what he has done, and what he has failed to do; and every woman will be told what she has done, and what she has failed to do.

-Qur'an, Al-Infitar, Surah 82:1-5
