I started this journey in july of 2005.And went threw the amman embassy in jordan.We heard bad stories of this one woman there that no matter what proof you had she made your life a living hell.Well i can confirm this to be true.When my husband went for his interview she had him in there for 2 hours pounding the questions to him.He was denied for sponcer reasons but was sworn in before he left.And she smiled a devel smile as she did so as if to make his pain of being so close hit harder.We did sponcer after sponcer.Even once she denied us again because the sponcer was two dollars under what he was to make in a year.We didn't give up.I even sent an e-mail to this woman telling her she will not do to us what she had done to so many.IN the end he got the visa and she made him spend even more money and time getting new things we already did.She even waitied 2 weeks 2 tell him the visa was there for him.He will be here on tuesday and it doesn't see real to me.We won we think but in the end did we really win?Along the way we lost in real.We lost ourselves each of us went into deep depression and in the end it turned out to be a fight due to pride almost a war in a way.Now when he comes it won't be as it was when we first started this hard journey we are now differant people that need to get to know eachother all over again.We did realize that one thing didn't change and that was the fact the love was still there deep inside lost in blood and tears and way to many sleepless nights.I haven't been on this site in almost a year but was shocked to see that the support for one another isn't the same as when i was on. I can in a way understand this since i have passed such a hard road.But when i was on threw all my tears there was always others there for me to listen to all i cryed over and thats what this site is really about not who knows more about the visa thing than another.It's about pulling together with people who are going threw the same things as you to feel your not alone in this.For those who have been waiting what feels like a lifetime i understand and can feel for you but if your love is real you will finish your journey.And for those who are having there case sent back the the usa were there is love there is always a way.And if you really believe in that love you will be together in the end as ashraf and i will be in a few more days.Stand together everyone be kind to eachother you all are passing the same feeling in one way or another and may each of you always walk in the light.

Congratulations to the both of you !

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

Congratulations on finally getting the visa! You are both battle-scarred, and for good reason. The adjustment period isn't easy, whether you've had a fast journey or not, and you've both been exhausted and beaten up by the process. You may even feel a sort of let-down because you've been in fighting mode with DOS for so long, and suddenly you don't have to fight them anymore. So it's back to real, normal life that's been sitting on the back burner for too long, and that may feel strange at first. But please take heart because you can find your way back to the people you were in the beginning. Those people aren't really gone. Take it as easy as possible when he arrives. There are bound to be some ups and downs, culture shock for him and adjustment for you as well. I'll tell you, I've seen some value in relationship counseling, not just for when things are really in trouble either. We did six weeks of premarital counseling when my then-fiance first arrived, mostly to please my parents because we felt things were going along pretty well ourselves. But we relaxed with the counselor and articulated some things to each other that hadn't come out before, she taught us some communication skills we didn't already have, and I think it has helped us with the adjustment in the long run. Just something to consider. I'm happy for you, and I believe your new life together can be everything you have hoped for for so long. Be patient with yourselves and with each other. Enjoy each other. Best wishes to you both. (F)
