I m going to cry do we have to send it back?

I'm sorry for that

I think you have to call them on this number 0227972200 from sunday to thursday from 1 pm to 4 pm

and tell them what happened.

ask if you can go to embassy and have them fix it for you in the same time.

Sorry you're having this trouble, but CONGRATULATIONS on the visa!!!

My husband's been home for a week now, and I'm still pinching myself...

Good luck getting this straightened out quickly.

:)

Summer 2003- We met (in the U.S.) and began dating.

Summer 2004- My SO moved back to Egypt; I spent a month there with him.

December 2004- SO called my parents and got permission to ask for my hand in marriage; They said yes, of course!

Christmas 2004- I traveled back to Egypt and accepted his proposal while we were on the sands by the Red Sea...

July 2005- Got married; I moved to Egypt

Nov. 2005- Began the immigration process!!!

July 2006- Hubby's immigrant "interview" at embassy in Cairo was no interview- told to file waiver for past visa overstay

Aug. 2006- Waiver sent from Cairo to Athens

April 2007- Waiver transferred from Athens to Rome

August 2007 - I moved back to U.S. from Egypt in anticipation of waiver approval (just had a feeling!!) and to continue my career because my 2 year work contract had expired in Cairo and my wondeful job was still here waiting.

Nov. 2007- Waiver approved... thank the good Lord!!!!

Dec. 2007- Interview- but not really an interview- just had to sign the updated DS230; Told to expect visa in 2 weeks.

Jan. 2008 - Visa in hand! It actually did arrive in 2 and a half weeks... Hubby back in our home 2 days later!!!

Feb. 2008- Green Card arrives

Today and everyday- Loving life back in our home, having a blast, enjoying every moment with family and friends, praying for all of you still waiting! Miracles DO happen!!!

Agreed.

Congrats on the visa!

Use this time (while waiting for the passport to be corrected) to prepare for his move. You know you have the visa and you know he'll need time to get ready to move so don't let the mix up bother you too much. Don't let it ruin this joyous occasion.

It's wonderful news that he got his visa, even stamped wrong!!

They should be able to fix it in a short amount of time, and at least you know he's got it, no more wondering when AP will end.

:dance::dance::dance:

Congratulations. And let us know what they say about it!
