He could show up on your wedding anniversary date and get the IR1. Just have a copy of the marriage certificate to show the CBP to make sure they stamp the passport correctly.

I'll be brutally honest here. He waited 10 months in AP. Does this last obligation REALLY matter that much? He's leaving the country.... Better to be in the USA before that visa expires!

LOL... Honestly at this point waiting for the IR1 barely seems to matter... like I just want him here now! But I have a bit more sense than that and he better too lol or I married the wrong man. >.<

hehe waiting on the IR1 is a good idea. Waiting until the last day to travel is not :)

I agree you'd save yourself a good $590 and no need to prove you have a genuine relationship again in 2 years.

the embassy tells him without a doubt there is absolutely no way around this March 17 deadline [without a big hassle].

He can redo the medical and have the validility extended.

One way ticket to the US

Sometimes it's cheaper to buy a round trip ticekt and just let the return journey expire ;)

It's amazing how many questions can be resolved with a 2 minute Google search...

Redoing anything in Egypt and dealing with Egyptian consulate is a big hassle... I'm hoping dearly that DH will just let this obligation slide although it means alot to him.

I wish I could explain the stupidity of trying to get the Xray alone redone. You can only get the Xray done at these times. The DR only reads the xrays on these two days and may not get to all of them in a day. You can only pick up Xrays between this and this time when such and such is available. We can leave them at the desk for you to pick up but if you want someone to pick them up for you it has to be during this and that time when this and that and she is available...

Unreal I tell ya.

Just in case anyone wants to know for future reference-- 230$ Visa fee, redo whole medical, and relinquish that precious passport and visa back to the darned embassy.... NO WAI No how. We'd probably get a second AP.

And I'll be darned if they didn't call us 3 times on the phone today. First time ever to get a phone call... And they emailed him after the first 2 calls weren't answered, and called directly after he emailed them back. o.O

Pigs fly?
