Update

[Private 1]

Calm down people have been through worse, you will get. I swear I think that god tests us with the patiances. You are in a better position than alot of us.

Yes, I am sure I have annoyed people, however all of the personal details of our lives are not known to board members for obvious reasons and although it may seem my position is rosey to some, it is not so rosey for us at this point in time. I thank you for your patience and I'll try to refrain from saying more.

This "test" is not just about the visa.

I think you took me the wrong way, but I have to say this test is way more than the visa. I think it goes beyond me and you.

Right, this is your life, your husband, your family on the line. We get that. We know the stress you are under. We also know you have to hang in there which ever way you can to keep youself inching your way through the day. You have to keep coming here and being our "wet blanket" because you have to find strength to support Mohammed also. It's coming Jean....girl ...i know you can;t accept that because you are conserving all your emotions just to get through this next hour and the one after that. everyday you are moving a little closer to the finish line.

Try your hardest not to compare your case with others... it will only make you more frustrated.

I did misunderstand. I apologize. I managed to twist my back this morning and am in mega ouchies with it and not thinking too clearly. Desk chairs don't tend to help. Goes to show its never a good idea to ask the question "what else could go wrong" cuz it inevitably will be answered.

Visualize what will go right. It's powerful.

Wise words Rebecca! While waiting, I would envision what Mohammeds first sights would be in America. I planned the route home and planned our first few meals. I know it's hard now to look too far ahead, but it may be very theraputic.

Update from the Embassy for those who just cannot look away from this train wreck (sorry Rahma). The latest email:

Dear Madam,

We are still looking into the case.

WOO HOO! The level of urgency and concern just gives you goose bumps, doesn't it? They don't even know WHERE his visa is! Well I shall certainly sleep tight tonight knowing they are "looking into it." This might even be funny if it was happening on tv...

again... pay not attention to that little man behind the curtain. He still can't find his a** with both hands.

I have been positvely visualizing this entire process but at this time I am too withdrawn and nervous to do anything but hold my breath. And grit my teeth.

You know I have been following you case. You have a lot of patience. If I were in your shoes, I would try to focus on going to see my SO. I know this visa is important and travel is expensive. However the best thing to do (God willing) is to go see him. Wish I could help you in some way. My heart goes out to you.

You know Jean, The fact that the sent you an email makes me think something good is going to come out of this. They could just ignore you (like Casa does ) and they haven;t told you there is a problem with checks which could be an easy answer to let you leave them alone. Keep after them. Sounds like the right hand doesnl;t know what the left hand is doing and you and Mohammed are payig the price of incompetance.

Come on Cairo just print the darn visa!

Jean,

Hang in there and try not to allow this process to ruin your life. As you are aware, I've been on this visa ride for a long time. Throughout the years, I've learned not to believe anything the Embassy, INS, or Consulates say. I have continue my life and make regular visits to my honey. The way I see it, the visa did not create our relationship. I have a SO because he was sent to me by the Grace of God and what God creates no man can destroy. Please continue to be strong and this too shall pass.

I pray your honey gets the visa soon and enter the country without incident. Amen.

Take Care.

Hang in there Jean

[Ta Ta 1]

You are both in my prayers. I know this is hard, just hold on a little longer

and exhale and visualize like it was suggested, it really does work.

I am just crawling out of my hole from the recent AP/AR shock.

Keep hoding on, it will come !

Email from DOS says no more security checks have been ordered so I suppose that's good news. When this is all finished (if it EVER is) I will explain why this has been so traumatic on both of us. Maybe. Suffice it to say this is not a simple case of sitting on our comfy sofas waiting for a bureaucratic process to work through to completion. Again I want to say a very sincere and heartfelt thank you to everyone for your prayers and support and know that I am offering mine as well to you even if I don't post it here.
