I was up this morning at 2:00 AM feeding my one month old daughter and changing an explosive poopy diaper when my cell phone rang... Since Fadi is stil in Baghdad the first words out of my mouth were, "Are you OK??" All he said was, "I've got good news...I just got my Visa." HALLELUJA!! It only took 17 months!! Fu*king immigration. I still HATE the Amman embassy, but I am so happy that the VIsa journey (journey my ###, more like a trip through the third ring of HELL) is finally over. All we've got to do now is get him out of Iraq and on a plane bound for the red, white and blue. Thank you all for your continued support.

Julianna - I'm sure your SO will be following mine shortly. Good luck with yoru upcoming interview and in dealing with the cro-magnun retards the Amman embassy refers to as staff.

Wooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!! Awesome!

My husband was just deiend his promotion due to internal politics (he publishes "too much" and gets "too many contracts" and makes them look bad, but the reason they stated was "he may leave someday" (ummm doesn't everyone leave their job someday?!?!?!?) and they violated his contract by doing this), and he told me he is so mad when he gets done teaching this semester he will leave even before the total semester time is up as long as he has that visa! So that's June 3!!! I hope he gets the visa. HOPE.

None of my posts have ever been helpful. Be forewarned.

Congrats! I am so so happy for you both. :thumbs::dance:

BTW* Did he work for our gov't in Iraq?

He has worked as a translator for the Army, Marines and "government" since the war broke out and has been receiveing personal death threats for over a year now...you'd THINK that might help him to get a Visa or at least EXPEDITE the process a LITTLE but no...no special treatment of any kind...gotta love the way our government uses and abuses people...no wonder everyone hates us.
