Jordan Border Closed - Interview Scheduled

[Sleepy Kat 0]

There is an interview scheduled for an Iraqi fiancee in Jordan June 27, 2007, but now the borders with Iraq are closed. Can the case be moved to Syria? Or will the interview be rescheduled? Or will they grant entry into Amman for the purpose of completing the Interview?

Does anyone have any information on how the border closings / interviews are handled between Iraq and Jordan???

I suggest you contact the consulate directly and ask them - they are the only ones who can answer this:

Kitkat's answer is the best one, but I will add. Are there flights leaving fromIraq to Jordan that can be booked or what about traveling via a third country? I'm sure its possible to move the case to anoter emassy, but that will take time.

Hello....I feel your pain and know exactly what you're goping through.....my advice...

Royal Jordanian runs two daily flights from BIAP to Amman (11:30 AM & 2:30 PM) but they're not cheap...it's about $850 USD for a roundtrip ticket. If your fiance is coming from Baghdad it is a lot safer than driving as I hear the road through Anbar Province is still quite dangerous. I wouldn't risk it, plus it is still easier to get into the country through the airport than the land borders. So I reccomend flying into Queen Aliyah airport; he will still be hassled, questioned and possibly turned back but if he has a copy of the NOA-2 fro the I-129f, a copy of the letter stating he has an apointment for an interview at the embassy and an email stating what time and day his interview is they should let him through. With these documents the Jordanians should allow him entrance into the country. It is also best if he arrives just one day before the interview and is scheduled to leave the day after...that way the Jordanian won't think he is trying to come there to stay forever.

If he choses to fly he needs to book it now. The flights are usually full because the Americans (contractors, government people, etc...) use Royal Jordanian to fly between Baghdad and Amman. He can get the tickets from any tourism and traveling office or company...or the Royal Jordanian branch office located in the Meridian Palestine Hotel. Hope this helps....please let me know if you need anything else.
