This does not answer your question, but I just heard there's been an agreement for a 72 hour cease fire, naturally I thought of you and your husband. His interview is within that time, yes?

THANK YOU!! Yes, I was thinking the same thing. When I heard about it, I did the math and was hoping this ceasefire will stick. We shall see what happens. Thus far, from what I know, none of the ceasefires have been kept. My husband is in the West Bank, which is a different government and different situation from Gaza. However, I worry bc there have been demonstrations that have caused killings in the WB and some bad things are also happening in East Jerusalem. He has assured me he is steering clear of all the protests.

The situation in the WB scares me. The random checkpoints with the IDF holding large automatic weapons. I have been there a couple of times and even during "average" times, it is scary for me. Each time, I was detained for hours, being questioned and told to sit for hours. Until, finally, allowed to pass into the WB and can visit my husband's family. Bc of these conditions, we decided it best not to marry in the WB bc it was most likely I would not be allowed to pass the boarder unless we were married. It was a tough decision bc then no close family members could afford the trip to Jordan for our wedding.

I hope all goes okay and again, Thank you for your kind thoughts. ❤️

They didn't give me my passport back so I think I'm approved LOL.

Nobody said APPROVED, I didn't ask. Interview went well in my opinion.

They just gave me a piece of paper with info about delivery.

You sound like one of my uncles. He refuses to believe that good things could happen to him. When they do, then it's somebody's mistake. I could never win this argument with him.

You're APPROVED so there!! Live with it!!!
