Not Bad New, I Think?

[AlHayatZween 2]

Salaam 3alekum Everybody!

Thank you so much for your prayers and wishes. Thank you so much for your happy thoughts and all the good advice along the way.

We finished our interview, Alhamdulilah. Sorry it took me a few days to report back...

i think we did as well as we could have!

Hayati went to the Consulate with a stiff upper lip and his arms full of evidence. Thankfully, alhamdulilah, he spoke with a very nice blonde woman. She was friendly and smiled a lot, but she would not speak Arabic with him. He asked her twice, but she just kept asking him questions in English. My hubbie knows English, but very, very basic. But by some miracle, he understood everything she said, and she understood his replies.

She asked him:

My name

My address

How, where, and when he met me

If I'd ever been married before

He showed her our photo album and she looked at all the pictures.

Then he showed her my passport, and told her i was waiting nearby. She had him come out and get me immediately!! So i went in with him, and she asked me just one question. She wanted to know if we were already married because last year we tried to get married and i had to go to the consulate for some documents (that is another long story), but in the end, we never legally married in Morocco.

She said she did not doubt our relationship. She said they still had some administrative processing to do... and it should take a week or two. Then she took Hayati's passport, which i feel is a good sign. She said they'd call him in a week or two and that she didn't "anticipate any problems" inchallah.

Soo....

i don't know. What do you guys think?

i feel like we did our best and that it went as well as possible. Alhamdulilah.

Any thoughts?

Okay, hope you all our well, and i'll check back in when i can.

Thanks again for listening and being here,

Sounds promising, and i think it's great that you were there and actually got to show your face and speak with the interviewer

I think it sounds good especially if they kept his passport.

Ya this is very typical of them to do, and its good the consulate saw you. Keeping the passport is always a good sign. I wish you will be the lucky ones who get the call within the 2-3 weeks they say.

Insha-Allah we will all be reunited in the coming days, weeks and months.
