I am so sorry to hear this outcome. I just got into the country today and internet access was a struggle outside. I had really hoped and thought this was an easy approval for y'all seeing y'all have been through this before. Sometimes, I can't understand these embassy folks and their thought process. Did you include proof that his brothers' status lead to his emergency exit out of the USA after his first fiance visa entry. I pray this is work out for you. Not sure how to proceed on this. I hope people with more experience can advise. Maybe including all the docs requested and writing a letter stating the situation surrounding the first entry and exit and that you didn't have enough time to take pics with the kids. I'm sorry and hope it turns around with a positive outcome.

Welcome back!! Thanks for your kind words. We will wait and see now. I hope you have an easy time settling in and planning the wedding now. On to phase 2! I am sure you must be happy to finally be in the same country together. I hope you get the rest you need and can start to enjoy your life together. :)

Honestly, I've been getting ready for him to arrive since we submitted lol. I've cleared dresser and closet space, got him a house key and US cell phone (and set it up with close family numbers and pictures of his family and us when I was visiting him in Morocco), cleaned the house, setup a profile for him on Netflix and the computer, got him his own stocking for the holidays and his first tree ornament, I've found a local halal butcher (two actually) and a store that sells items from Morocco and the middle east that he might like, this weekend I've been baking goodies for him and the family (over 300 cookies so far and 5 large containers of fudge), and we have a big family Christmas event on Saturday where he'll get to meet my family in-person and not just through Skype.

I also asked other members of VJ for ideas and got some good ones like making maps of the local area, showing him where the library is so he can read if he wants, taking him shopping after he gets in to get some of his favorite foods and get him out of the house, and setup Skype times with his family so they can talk often.

You're welcome to stop by for cookies :) When I bake (or do pretty much anything) I tend to go overboard.

So far I have holiday chocolate chip cookies (with green and red chocolate chips), peanut butter cookies, cherry bonbons, peppermint pinwheels, peppermint thumbprints with heresy's hugs in the center, and regular thumbprint cookies with hugs in the center. Plus, regular fudge and peanut butter fudge.

I will want to make almond log cookies, sugar cookies, peppermint brownie cookies, and Monster cookies (these cookies have a little bit of everything in them like peanut butter, chocolate chips, marshmallows, nuts, M&Ms, etc..). There will most likely be another 300 cookies before I'm done LOL.

I am giving some cookies to friends and family, but I also have two teenage boys at home.
