well, it looks like maybe no visa after all. ahmed called dhl and they said that his passport is still inside the embassy, that that message "Departed Facility" doesn't mean anything, it's just an update that they do. So disappointing.

Amy...my hubby's visa said the same thing on Aramex...it said "picked up" like 2 minutes after he left the embassy for his interview. I called Aramex and they told me it was still at the embassy...they had just entered the airbill so you can have the tracking number when they actually send it. It took about 5 days to get to us...after 2 days the status changed. Good luck to you!

Ok...update on the job situation. I had a meeting with HR a few minutes ago and expressed my concern with how I feel discriminated against...etc. Her response was "oh we are a private company and we reserve the right to allow who we want into the building...what you said was inflammatory whether they told exactly what you said or not, it still caused an issue. Being married to who you are married to, you know that you will face these kinds of obstacles. It is better that you socialize outside of work with co-workers and not mention any personal things at work. I understand that it seems unfair, but really it is a one time thing that is in your file about your behavior, not about who you are married to. If this incident wouldn't have happened I am sure it would have been ok to bring your husband in to work to meet everyone."

Being married to who I am married to? Come again?? Really? I am pissed beyond words right now. I, an American Christian woman, went to the middle east and got a much warmer, open, loving reception. I feel more loved in the middle east than I do in my own country. I mean really?? Tonight begins the serious search for another job.

after you have hopefully found another job...i would find a lawyer and talk about options you can pursue regarding the above. that's absolutely disgusting behavior. you can argue that you felt so uncomfortable being there after having had that discussion with HR that you felt forced to leave....sorry to hear that...nice sick little world we live in nowadays

Hey Beth

I saw your name as last poster and I honestly got butterflies thinking that it might be a "APPROVED!" post. I'll see that very soon I know

Nothing too exciting here, Josh is starting kindergarten in a few weeks. Thats the only news...my baby is growing up and soon he'll be asking me for the keys to the car

[Amoon 0]

I wrote the embassy last week to inquire about the AP, and at that time they responded, telling me he's still in AP, and they would send a 'gentle reminder' to the CO to finish it up. I replied to that email with this message:

Thank you very much for your help. Would it be beneficial to our case if we stopped by the Embassy to inquire about the status in person while my daughter and I are in Cairo?

so I get to Cairo, check my email, and this is what I find in my inbox:

Dear Madam,

Thank you for your e-mail message.

Unfortunately, we are not able to accommodate your request however, please note that Mr. Ahmed should send his passport to our office for the visa issuance.

Regards,

Consular Staff

The last part (bolded) confuses me. Are they telling me that when his AP is finished, that I should then have him send his passport for issuance? Because they already have his passport, they kept it when he interviewed. Of course I didn't get that email until after they had closed and now it's the weekend... bah.

That last bold part sounds promising!!!!!!! I pray it means just that, AP finished. Best wishes!!!!!!!!!!
