wow... apparently i missed quite a bit of drama on the off topic thread - very sad to see all that... hmmm..

Hafiz I agree that faal4anisa got approved it looks like. :dance::dance::dance:

Mary

congrats on the approval faal4anisa!!! :thumbs:

Hafiz,

Ishteaq got his drivers license in a way yesterday. LOL He passed and the computers went down so we sat for 6 hours and then had to leave. We have to go back next week and hopefully have his shiny new DL then.

This is about all the big news that is going on now. He is working full time and I am getting the kids ready for back to school in 10 days here.

Anything new or exciting happening with you?

Mary

Yeah Ishteaq!!! Mary, tell him i said congrats on the DL!!

have a good weekend everyone :luv:

Thanks for the congrats Laney, Omid, and Imran. Tomorrow we will go and sit at DMV again. BORING......

Imran that is wonderful news that your wife is here in the USA now. Please tell her welcome to the USA from my family and have a wonderful reunion.

Mary

Everything I respond to is from personal knowledge, research or experience and I am in no means a lawyer or do I claim to be one. Everyone should read, research and be responsible for your own journey.

oh man you make me laugh, lol, if you got citizenship yaar, then you can just stay there and apply for a job at embassy. I am sure you got alot of experience going back and forth. Why come to US, you can create problems for people trying to get visas right now.

i am assuming that ds230 will generate this monday. But no use i will wait until end of august to send it in. Please make dua that my k3 goes through before that.
