Brahim and I met when I was volunteering in Morocco in 2006. He was in the US on a J-1 in 2007 and we went through a lot to get the home-residency rule waived (best advice: don't listen to people who say that it's impossible to get a J-1 waiver!). We were finally able to apply for the K-1 in 2008, and things have gone much faster since then. It's been a very long process, but we can finally see the light! Inshallah, we will be together soon.
Wow, you've been waiting a month?? yikes! and they took his passport? that's a good sign, they didn't take Ahmed's. maybe i'll wait a couple of weeks, then email them? good luck to you...
