AWWWW Thanks/Shokran everyone. This board is just awesome i can't say that enough.

Ok update..Anmar bought his tickets Will be here Feb 9th. Flying from Queen Alia to Chicago and on the Omaha Nebraska. Where I will meet him. I wished it was sooner, but i have no days off until next week. and that is the only time he can get a flight anyways. I thought maybe he can find a flight sooner which might be more expensive for him and I offered to pay for it, but he told me NO! and i say pay half and he said NO! He told me all he wants is to be in his wife's hug. I am just so happy today I don't know what to do with myself

Again big thank you to everyone especially the girls from Yalla Middle East! You girls rock!!!

Hi every one First I am wondering why things have to be in this way ..this is really Hard ..Iam very tired I can't do anything everything around me is tastless ..I can hardly eat and i cry most of the time ..although i talk to my husband everyday But I MISS HIm terribly ...this is really unfair !!!!

Me and Mark married 4 months ago and we applied for I-130 at the 28 of Dec 2005 and then we applied for I-129F at the 29 of January ...

I know we still have too much time of waiting But the idea of seeing people who have waited for 8 to 2 years drives me CRAZY...it's not easy for Mark to come to Egypt every few months since he has to work !!

and also it's very hard for us not to be together !!!

I am very tired and depressed ..I have a question of you guys ..Do you think contacting a senator can make things faster ???

[color=#CC0000]I LOVE YOU MARK ALWAYS AND FOREVER [/color][/s]

First, let me welcome you to the Middle East/North African Forum. It's always good to see new people join. We also have a thread at the top of this page called yallah middle east and many people from egypt post there.

I have been in your situation also, and it is very difficult to be away from your significant other. My husband processed thru Amman Jordan, and i can definitely say this is the slowest consulate in the Middle East. As for Egypt I think it varies, some people wait for a short time and some wait for a long time depending on name checks. We have several people who are processing thru egypt..Amyerlu..Her and her Fiance just had an successful Interview in Cairo, but now have to wait for the name check to clear.

If you have any more questions you can post your own thread or join us in the yallah middle east.

Again let me welcome you and hope your journey goes quickly

Hi and Welcome....

Short answer, probably not.. unless your case runs its course and you run into problems you can't overcome alone. Thats just how long it takes and at least you have realistic view of whats ahead. Many get started without knowing how long this really takes and I think that makes things harder.

Don't cry. Its okay. We have all been waiting out the process so another good thing is you found an informed group (several from Egypt) that knows why you are frustrated.

If you like, I can add your journey to our cheerleading thread and keep track of your progress.

Welcome again

And Angel...Way to go!

Welcome and Mabruk!

Insha'allah, your time apart will fly by . . . I know it is hard because I have had to wait awhile myself . . . ONE year anniversary next Monday and almost one year apart . . . but I will be seeing him in 11 days, Insha'allah (flight to Cairo on March 2). I also have problems travelling to Egypt very often due to work obligations and that makes me feel bad too . . . but it is just something that I have to deal with. Insha'llah, when Ahmed gets here, we will forget all of the pain.

Also, I am not sure about how long egyptian women have to wait to get a visa after the interview. In other countries considered high-risk by the U.S., the female applicants appear to get a visa almost the same day as the interview (if they are approved, LOL).

Like Angel said, be sure to post in the Yalla ME topic which is pinned at the top. BTW, where in Egypt do you live?
