Maggie, I know they give you one envelope that is to be handed in at POE and that one is to remain unopened. Is this the one you're talking about?

Gynto, I'm looking forward to the wedding pics!!!

Wow, I guess I hadn't even thought of the sacrafice on what you have to give up as far as material things are concerned. I'm such a sentimental person I have every card and letter that I have ever recieved. I have a slot in the top of two boxes, letters go in one, and cards go in the other. Every few years I go through the boxes and randomly read them. I have letters from when I was a little girl from family members that have long since passed away. I also have so many little keepsakes that have a great sentimental value for me. To many people some of my most beloved treasures are garbage, but to me they are priceless. I imagine it is extremely difficult to have to decide on what to let go of.

We are trying to see if we can get Najmeh here the beginning of April because my brother-in-law will be in Iran, and he can accompany her on her flight and assist her through POE (He is already scheduled to return on April 3rd). The way they have it set up at the Abu Dhabi embassy is ridiculas. The passport has to be dropped off on a Sunday at 10:00 AM, and the site states that "in most cases the visa will be ready by Thursday at 2:00 PM" And to top it off Persian New Year is the first day of spring and this causes the flight prices to Dubai to sky rocket to outrageous prices. And her mother has just went through surgery to remove a cyst from her breast, so she is trying to get approval to travel from the doctor. So she only has one day in the week she can drop off the passport and it may or may not be ready that same Thursday. Why does it take that long? All of this would have to take place before April 3rd for her to come here with my brother-in-law. We are all scrambling around to see how we can make it fall in place.

Thanks everyone!!!

Kjenkins, she will fly back to Dubai and get her visa (no more interviews), then either fly straight here or go back to Iran and come from thier with my brother-in-law. We are a blessed group!!!

Jenn, have a safe flight!

A&D it sounds like you two have put a lot of thought into your travel plans. You'll be together before you know it!

Kayla, I'm sorry about your cell phone, I hope you recover it.

Kjenkins, your prediction was correct, it showed up on the website today!

SHE IS OUT OF AP!!!

Again, thank you all for your continued support!!!

Be safe Jenn!!!

Kayla, I hope it was all a dream! I think we've all had days like that.

A&D I think your babies will make it fine. They will be happy healthy American babies soon.

Thanks Kjenkins!!!

Sorry your having to work early today Kayla.

Gaynto, thanks for the update. It's really unfortunate that you had to go all that way to find out that they screwed up.

Kjenkins, I'm so glad he made it to you safely. ENJOY!!!

Maggie, glad to ear things are progressing for you as well!

GO KJENKINS!!!

I'm sooooooo happy for you both!

WOOT WOOT!!!

Miss you too Jenn!

CONGRATS Kjenkins!!! He'll have it in his hands soon!

CONGRATS A&D!!!

Social Security Pains.

We applied for Antonio's SS card 10 days after his arrival, today we received a call from Social Security that we need to give Homeland Security some data before they can release a number. We have to do an INFOPASS to Charleston, SC.. about 2 hours away since the rep at Homeland Security couldn't help us on the phone...ERRRR!!

I will let you know what they say, so you can avoid this royal pain in your near future.

Great, can't they make anything simple. I'm sooo sorry to hear that you have to still face a struggle.

CONGRATS 4Lovewelive!!! Glad to see you back!

KJenkins, I'm hoping he gets the visa in hand ASAP.

Thanks guys for your continued support!!!

Happy shopping Kayla and goodluck on your diet!

Ney: your daughter in law is still in my thoughts...

Thank you!!!

Happy shopping Kayla!

I'm sorry I don't know the answer to your question. I just wanted to wish you luck!!!

I don't know what stage you are at. At the beginning stage I think a notorized statement is fine although there are probably many people there that can read Farsi. At the final stage there are also many people that speak Farsi that can read the emails themselves.

GOOD LUCK!!!!

Please feel in your timeline.

CONGRATS!!!

I wish you both health, happiness, and much success in life!

I totally agree with Elham, it is sooooo good to see success in the Iranian portal!

Excellent!!! CONGRATS!!!

Great news Kjenkins you get your money back!!!

Seb, sorry it's bad weather for you, but the keys trip sounds great.

Kayla a cruise sounds great for your anniversary.

Seb I don't see how that could be a problem, at that point she is past POE and not leaving the country.

She should be able to move around freely in the US.

No but I can tell you from now that he won't be coming tomorrow. I had emailed the embassy and they called him and told him it's not printed yet and it might be next, who knows. I can't express how sad I am, I was really looking forward to having him here tomorrow

Also, I called Delta and it wouldn't be a fee to change if he would travel by Sunday but that's of no benefit since dhl doesn't open on Saturdays

Kjenkins, I'm so sorry to hear that. Keep your spirits up girl, you are at the end. Gaynto said it well hopefully this will be your last sad weekend!

Frenzyheart best wishes on your journey. Start setting up your co-sponser ASAP. Feel free to pop in more often!

Dviera, I don't know if they've started that yet. I hope someone here can help you with that.

For 5 months of waiting and finally: APPROVED!!!

I have to come for visa on Monday or Tuesday, they will call me...and yes...all the time I was looking in the pink paper below my documents and when consul said to me: Welcome to the US and wish me all the best, I was astonished...couldn't believe that I am approved.

Thanks to ALL of you for your constant support...you know how hard was when we got RFE, but all of that is behind us.

CONGRATS A&D!!!

I am soooooo happy for you both!!! Time to pack up your babies!

Someone just informed me that airlines sre changing flights for free and reduced so I'm gonna try myh luck,

That is great news! Good Luck!!!
