Yes I agree with u it is bit unfair that some people have to wait much longer than others but I would say its all about the luck . In start it was dificult for me to adjust here in US . new culture new people away from ur family and specaily with new food . but as the time is passing I m getting fine and all credit goes to my lovely wife she is so sweet and supporting all the way . the main problem i faced in first fifteen days was sitting all alone in home . But as ALLAH helped us thorough out our visa process he showered his blessings on us here to . just after 15 days I got my first interview call and they hired me as a Software Engineer . and now I am fully busy with my Proffessional and personal life . and now i m getting very much adjusted in my new life . ALHAMDULILLAH

Ur husband is in my prayers INSHALLAH with in few days he will get his Visa with the grace of ALMGHTY ALLAH . and when u guys will be together u will forget all the pain u suffered in this painful visa journey and AP .

God Bless u both

YAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!! I'm SOOOOOO Happy for you! Bohut bohut mubarak! Many congrats! Tell hubby that we say congrats. Oh that is so wonderful for you. I was worrying why your case was taking such a long time as well. I know my hubby has a very common last name and blame his wait-time on that. But for you I was hoping you would hear back soon. Yay! I am so happy for you. Now its time for Wellmux too, Insha'Allah. Waiting to hear some more goodnews. Oh Mash'Allah that is wonderful.

Yes. I am praying for Wellmux to get his visa soon too. All the time. I know he has waited so long. I know it must be so hard for you, sister, waiting for him to come home. I have only been away from Zaheer for a little over 2 months, but still.. it has been so hard. I hope the weather over on your coast is good. It has been a little cold here on the southeastern coast of FL. which is unusual for us. Iguanas have been falling from trees. Imagine. A big green lizard falling out of a palm tree. LoL. We lost a lot of strawberry crops too. I hope when your hubby gets to come home the weather will be nice and cooperative. Sometimes, I am thankful to Allah that Zaheer didn't get his visa last week, or before that.. or whenever they were having such bad weather in NYC. I don't want him to have to get stuck there like I did. It sucks that he can't just fly directly into FL and has to go through NY. But, I wish that all works out. Congrats to all who have passed their waiting game of AP and keep praying for Wellmux and myself to hear something soon. This friday I find out the scheduled C-Section date for the baby. Just 3 more weeks. It will be either March 17, 18, or 19, most likely. So, everyone pray that all goes well for me as well. This is my second surgery and I am afraid since Zaheer isn't going to be here with me.
