WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a week it has been...we had the interview Monday and they said expect the visa in hand in about 8 business days ...well...she got it this morning!!!!!!!!! :dance::dance::dance:

The best Birthday present i have gotten in years!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The only thing that had me a little stressed is that as soon as she called me this morning and told me she got it i called my travel agent and booked flights fopr Tuesday....after booking them he called me back and said that tghere was a special coming up on the 29th ....what i will be paying for Tuesday's flights is $1200...on the 29th it would be $700 .... :blink::blink:

Hey congratulations on your approval. I don't know if you are looking for opinions on your flight, but I would recommend waiting the extra time(although easier said than done), that way she isn't rushing to pack up and saying goodbye to family. Then she can make sure everything is all set there and you have everything ready for her here. Again, easier said than done, plus an extra $500 is always nice! Good luck! Either way, she will be here in less than a month! :dance:

Congrats! I cant wait til thats my biggest issue. Is there any way that you can change the flight to save the $500? Im sure you cant wait especially after all this long wait, but remember, you have her for the rest of your life. Yall can sure do something special or add that $500 to your wedding budget.

Hello all,

Just dropping a line to say hello. Sorry i have been MIA for the holidays.

Still in Morocco... at least i'm with mon coeur.

Congrats to all the recent approvals!

On the other hand, i checked my e-mail yesterday for the first time.

We have an RFE. i am devastated. i know it could just be nothing.

But what if it is some big problem. i thought we filed all the papers well.

Apparently, we have to wait until the letter arrives in the mail to know

exactly what the problem is? Is this true? Should i bother calling across the ocean?

i'm so sad... :cry:

Sorry to hear about the RFE. You will have to wait until you get the letter. They won't tell you anything if you call. It is probably something simple that you can fix quickly. Don't panic!! Good luck!

i am getting back in about a week and a half, inchallah.

The time has flown by!! How come the time when we are apart goes so slowly and miserably, and the time we are together is like sand in the wind?

Thanks for your support, and of course, i will keep you posted.

Best of luck to you and a speedy NOA2 for you, i hope!!
