There is a wonderful mix of MENA vj'ers ---------some have their SO's here and some are waiting. This thread is for the ones clicking on the USCIS website 1,000 times a day. For the ones having to rely on webcams and phone cards to sustain their relationships.
Check in and let's keep each other company while we wait. What are you doing to fill your time?
I am a June filer for CR1 and July for K3.
I did see some May filer approvals ! Are you all checking alot to look for a 'touch' ? Rajaa did you get touched yet?
Lulu just escaped and on his way to NVC..... Who else is waiting here? Lulu you keep us posted here on your progress.

No special weekend plans~ I work midnight shift on Sat/Sun so I will either be working, sleeping or thinking about sleeping Finally got over a week of bronchitis/flu...dang that sucked! I had the flu shot for the last 5 years and never a sniffle. The first year I miss it and BAM I had to miss a week of work and I barely got off the couch. I have 3 prescriptions, and antibiotic, an inhaler and a cough syrup with codeine (now that was good stuff there!)
My daughter had surgery on Feb 28th and will have another on March 30. I hope after this one she willl be back to good health. It's so hard to see your child suffer and in pain.
Well I should get off the computer and get to the gym. I am in training for my first 5k this year (it's on my bucket list and my bucket isn't getting any younger..lol) Hope ya'll have a great weekend !

Hope everyone in the path of the tornadoes is safe. Crazy weather lately.

Salaam...your situation is common here..there are many of us that belong to that group that I affectionately call 'VJ 2.0'
Mohammed and I divorced in 2007 after he got his 10 year greencard. I married Ibrahim in 2008 he also got a 10 year greecard. I know MANY of the members here have petitioned more than once. As long as you have the expected proof in hand you should be just fine.
Good luck to you and if you would like some suggestions how to submit awesome 'proof' send me a message. I have some good ideas for you.

Whatever got deleted...glad I didnt see it.
The pain of losing Dawn is as fresh today as it was then. The man was sentenced to 9 years in prison. If you want to see the face of her killer, go to www.idoc.state.il.us and his name is Robert Pas.
I spoke at her funeral and shared with everyone how much she meant to so many people on VisaJourney. I printed out pages of condolences and presented them to her mother as a tribute in her memory. As a group here, her VisaJourney family sent a beautiful floral arrangement. Not a day goes by that I don't think of her and wish we could just go to IHOP again for coffee and pancakes.
RIP my friend. I love you.

Welcome to VJ 2.0 Terrie! Wishing you both a lifetime of hapiness
Fasten your seatbelt, AOS off a B1 is a bumpy ride!

Lal....I took the right ! first up on my Jackie~land Road Trip 2011 was a stop at Cheryl & Medo's shop for a little hardware ...Then I took that long awaited right turn and Ms Noura made me an incredible cajun omelette and fresh pressed coffee!
Next up was a delicious bufett with Tamara & Adam (never met a more adorable couple! ) ...then....."Reunited and it feels so good...." I spent some much needed quality time with Chantry & Noor (and my fav lil man...Traven).
Next up......Beth Ali !!! Pandora!!! (and Honey but shhhh...she dont know yet..lol)
Everyday has been over 100 heat index and I can not WAIT to get out of this flippin heat!

There WILL be no more MENA men in my lifetime. He could be the f*ckin knight in shining armor, look-alike to Edward AND Jacob, he could be driving a Lexus and holding a 5 carat diamond ring and I would have to RUN the opposite direction til I dropped dead of exhaustion.
First, I'm moving to Streator. Yea...from the city to Streator 0_o ....I am moving to my sister's house and from there...we are taking a trip across America on the highway. Sometime around August she is buying a house in Florida and I will find a flooring company there. I gave a proper notice at my current job and they will give me a letter of recommendation.
I look at it this way, I can either take my life's lemons and let it sting my eye...or I can make one hell of a grand glass of lemonade.
Before making these decisions, I did try to ask Ibrahim what he wanted for the future. He chose to remain in Jordan. So everyone is where they should be. I continue to cheer you all on from the sidelines as I see so many of you succeed in happy marriages. It just wasn't meant to be for me.
