So I wrote the governor and asked if he could get any info on our case. Received the same thing as the last email from the Embassy - which was maybe over a month ago. Said you're still in Administrative Processing, no way to know how long it will take, blah, blah, blah. So we've really had enough of this and I'm thinking of going to Cairo for 2 weeks. I don't travel on planes well and was wondering if anyone would be traveling around the same time. I'm thinking of leaving the US about Novembe 2nd or 3rd and returning approximately November 16th or so. Please let me know if you'd be interested in going the same time.

I'm wondering the Cairo will let the Administrative Processing go for longer than one year? In the letter from the governor, they said that they don't know what's done in Administrative Processing - isn't that the buggest mystery ever.

I can't go until next May at the earliest :crying: It's coming up on the tourist season in Florida and I just started a new job :cry:

I know there are some people going in November, but I can't remember either.... I'm sure they will post soon

I don't remember you being from Boston! :)

I wish I could go. My husband keeps asking me if I can come during Christmastime again. I hate that he asked that 'cause I don't want to think that he still won't be here by then. :( I really don't know what I'll do if this goes much past January. I mean I promised my girls that I won't go again for a year or two but my husband really really misses me and i really really miss him. :crying:

Hi, we've been talking about me going there again, but we said we would discuss this after EID. Anytime after October 26 is good for me, but we haven't really set a date yet, that's why I waited to reply you. But when we check out for tickets, i'll definitely have your date in mind. At least to go there (i think my stay there would be longer). By the way, even if we get different flights , we can at least try to meet up in the airport, and exchange info, insha Allah. Plus we can make plans to picket the embassy :protest: together! :jest: JK

We tried to avoid me going there (to save money), but this visa thing is taking longer than expected. I'm still hoping and praying the visa will be here before he buys the ticket.

Anyway, if i do go, it would be great to see some VJ members there and hook up, cause i do consider you all my family too.

Hugs,

Ayesha (F)

Hey I'm up for that. We will be staying in Gisa right by the pyrimids. And that would be so cool if there is other VJ members there at the same time.
