I got an email from the embassy this morning. They said my husband's visa has been issued and he has to be in the States by March 9, 2014.

Most of you know our story. We were in AP 16 months when our visa got denied because the embassy said we were not legally married because I am a Christian and he is Muslim. We hired an immigration attorney and won our appeal. Our case was sent back to the embassy where we were kept in AP almost another 2 years.

My husband is strong and he kept our marriage together through the long wait.

I want to thank all my friends on visa journey that supported us and encouraged us through the years.

Thank you all for your well wishes. My husband still can't believe it. He is afraid the embassy made a mistake. I know he will have the passport with visa in a few days.
