alrighty...so I am so happy I have finally figured out why we can never get answers from the embassies (especially Egypt) or why we wait forever...thank goodness I finally figured it out...so here it goes

their concept of handing out visas = all based on the show LOST

i dunno if you watch it or not but just think about it...

-they have been stranded on island for months/years = our hubbies/fiances are stranded and stuck in their countries on the island of AP/AR

-they cannot leave even if they want to = our loved ones cannot leave without their visas

-everytime they contact someone they get the same standard "we are here to rescue you soon" = everytime we contact an embassy they say "you are in AP...when it is over you will get your visa soon"

- the island tests their patience to survive without their loved ones = so do the magnificent MENA embassies

- the island gives them false hope with random visitors to the island who claim the end is soon = the embassies give us false hope that the waiting will end with field investigator visits to our homes

- whenever someone attempts to get off the island through boat/helicopter/whatever, they either die or something happens to prevent it through the superpowers of the island = whenever someone tells us that the visa will be issued in two weeks and we wait it kills us inside and the laziness of the embassies prevents it from happening


well just thought i would give my input...hope the show does not mess too much with their heads... rabena yehdehom...LOL...inshAllah we will all be reunited with our loved ones soon i only pray...

LOST

lolz...sounds sooo right..hahaha..

what the hell..

sarah...its a joke i am just trying to create some humor here for all of us waiting patiently for our visas no big deal ya3ny...and its a forum where people can post their beliefs and concerns as long as it is by the rules and i did not break any...unless laughing is one of them which i hope it isn't take care

OMGGG LOOOOOOOOL

OMG that is too funny dillydally!!!! I see they got to you too!!!! I thought of a few more.............

On the island many survivors have hallucinations...............in Cairo they issue visas stamped female for the males

On the island there's that horrible monster smoke that shakes you to your core.........in CAiro they have the infamous interviewer that makes men shake in their boots!!!

On the island (up until this season) that french lady's message keeps being transmitted constantly.....in Cairo they send out the same email each and every time!!!

hahaha...I love love love this show and there are too many similarities!! I think you just might be onto something..now only if we can find some more clues in the next three episodes!!!!

simply hilarious you guys!
Now, who is Ben in this whole story? LOL

heh....my fiancee will get a kick out of it when she reads it.....
my favorite episode was episode 4 this season when Desmond needs a Constant ( a contact from the past and the present) to keep from dying after crossing the boundary round the island.......Our Constants ( our fiancees) are our life lines......from another land......in another time ( zone )....
ya....LOST is a metaphor for alot of things we are going through......thanks for the read !
Ben ? -- he is " bureaucracy red tape ".....how many lives and dreams has he destroyed ?

BUSH!!!!

Awww don't be too hard on her, not everyone has a sense of humor.

I love it!
At least we already have our constants, we dont have to wonder around completly helpless
The ombudsman is Faraday maybe...lol
