I LOVE this shirt and it's on sale but does anyone know what sort of material viscose is? Specifically is it heavy or light enough for spring/summer?
http://www.shukronline.com/wb1901.htmlviscose is a very soft material, definitely great for summer and spring...

Happy Hump Day!!!!!!!!!!!!
What paperwork etc do I need Jack to bring with him to continue our journey after he arrives here. I see Cheryl said he will need a birth certificate translated into English. Is there anything else?
I hope we get more visa news today.

anything and everything you could think of! lol...and it's better to do it asap! make sure you have official translations of the marriage certificate, birth certificate, college transcripts, also, if he can get an official copy of his transcript, signed and sealed by the college (if he's considering being licensed here or going on with college, etc..), umm...what else? my husband and i are going through this right now...., oh! tell him to get "shihadet khibra" from any employers--that's basically a document telling his experience, and tell him to get recommendation letters from employers, professors (if applicable)--even if they're in arabic, you can have them translated here if he doesn't have time there.....uhh.....try to think of any little thing you'd ever need as an american....try to get his high school transcript also....my husband even got his elementary and middle school papers...lol....you'd be surprised what they ask for when you're getting your degree evaluated or something....these things will be impossible to get if he's not actually there..
if i think of anything else, i'll let you know, but i think i got pretty much everything...

just curious for future reference, if DOS says your visa has been printed does that mean it gets sent via DHL that week or does it sit around collecting dust for another month or so?

After we got the email back from the embassy that the visa had been issued it took 13 days to get to Jack.
do they walk it over or something?????? What on earth takes 13 days?

And why don't they just hand it in person at the embassy??? (i know you probably don't know but I'm just venting)
This could be the "hold up"

lmaooooo!! that's hilarious!!!!! hahahhahaha
