July 14th is the first day I can take vacation time......yahooooooooo I can't wait to see Jordan with him. I've already put in my order for a/c wink.gif I can pee in a hole, but I need A/C for sure.

omg, i SO couldnt do it jackie! i learned in a few short days to use the br b4 we left and to bring tissue for when we were lucky enough to be somewhere with a toilet heh

will you guys rent an apt, hotel or stay with family?



Actually Lis- you figure it out pretty quick when your bladder just won't hold anymore! I tried and tried to do what you said, but we would be gone for HOURS soemtimes all day-- moist towellettes worked GREAT too! It gives you that "fresh feeling" after you just squatted near the floor!--might be a good suggestion for July there Jax--and HAND SANITIZER!! lol--Depending on where you are I guess Hotels can be chaper, but usually it is the appartments that we occupied! A nice place all to ourselves, we could do laundry together, and watch tv, and well.. .you know! LOL OOOOKKKK! I hope your trip goes well, and you'll be with Ibrahim very soon!-Amy


Ya, I still just cant do it. I would rather hold it until we got home.



Suit yourself! LOL You must have stronger kidleys than I do! I still come home from trips and it takes me two weeks to level off so I'm not up 3-4 times like a lil ol lady! I decided my last trip that I would just go and deal with life as it came--made things MUCH simpler-but watch out for the subway in Egypt if you manage to get tehre--- YUCK! AVOID those toilets at ALL COSTS!!!!! Toodles!

Jackie it was hot in October when I went, so I can't imagine how hot it will be in July! And as a side note, I am a travel agent on the side, so if you need help finding a cheap ticket just let me know. I can call the airlines directly and hopefully get you a cheaper rate! Take care!

Amanda



Amanda- just saw your note on the whole travel agent on the side thing... what you got for March 7??? That is when he deicded he's gonna book for- so we're looking at ticket prices... I know they change rapidly after the first of March,.. summer's on its way! I have looked online myself, and he's looking there, its soooo frustrating not knowing exactly when he'll have his visa and passport- the consular said "less than two weeks"... so we're going a few days past just for security measures!--IF ya have any advice-I'd love it!=---Amy

Quick question...does everyone have to go through AP or is that a random process? Just curious...our attorney sent in the AOS fee bill this weekend...so we'll see how fast the next part goes.....wait wait wait...again...


ummm-well, as far as I know its all random. If there is something that gives a red flag to the NVC, or the embassy abroad, like an arrest, or somoene with a name close enough that was or is in political trouble...etc. Its hard to tell if you'll get it or not. Good luck Our prayers are with ya!-Amy

Well now you can't go till after April...! LOL!! Or else whos gonna be in charge of the Seattle meetup?! sounds like a very interesting time to be there, but I am afraid, I would be just that and not much help as a voulenteer! Besides, I have kiddos that need me here anyways!--My efforts are needed in a different area right now.

Amy told hubby my plan he pleaded with me not to go... I told him if something happens to me at least i'll be doing something good my last moments.. besides it's my nature to be in the thick of things not on the sidelines... he pleaded and pleaded. I told him he should get here soon cause I volunteered for Bosnia, Afgan, Panama, NY anytime there is a need i volunteer and go. He better get here to make sure i don't. pissy iam sure but what can i say??? smile.gif



Rajaa- I hope he gets there soon! I know its hard to stand and wait and watch from the sidelines, and you are right if you were to die it would be doing something worth while... I don't think the world is ready to lose you yet-- esp your hubby! I know it is all in God's hands. I believe that in every sense, but you must be mindful of your choices... just a concerned friend with an opinion! Please take care and I pray you listen to your hubby--if NEVER again this time!

Besides if you leave, who will I sit on the couch with?!:-(

We don't have our interview date set YET for Jan either unsure.gif They said call back again next week cuz they aren't done scheduling for Jan... Keep praying for us! PLEASE! Prayers are what have gotten us this far!

Hi guys, since u guys have been through this, i wanted to ask if i am allowed to accompany my husband at new delhi consulate. i am us citizen. My case just completed at NVC.



you slipped that in and I didn't even see it-Ive been thru this forum several times. The answer is YES, you can accompany him to the embassy, HOWEVER the consular doing the interview has the authority to say-"You have done your work-its his turn now, please wait outside in the lobby." And I wouldn't be too surprised if they did. It shows you are right there supporting your SO. So good luck and God speed!-Amy


Don't be so sure about the YES. wink.gif This varies from consulate to consulate. Jordan most likely yes...but with some asertiveness. Others, it varies widely.

Regarding your previous question about fees at the consulate...in AMM, the Aramex delivery fee was 8JD in October and it would roughly be the same now, if any change. We're talking the CR1/IR1 correct? Good luck to you and yours.

Shrewd, best wishes...not too much longer!!

I have another question for you too... can you tell me about his interview experience? I have heard many different types of stories, from 8:00am he went in to the interview, handed the man his papers,The man looked at the papers put the photos all on the desk asked who this was and where they were. Asked a few questions about her family and shook his hand "mabruuk" u get your visa in 2-3 weeks.
Then I heard the total opposite... shows up at 8:00am, turns in his papers, sits till noon and THEN goes in for his interview?? Where he is given the third degree about every detail of his wife's life.

How did your SO's interview go?---Thanks Amy

Gosh I hope all these sad goodbyes don't mean we've been abandoned with only a week before the interview?! I have a question all... When your so went to the embassy for their interview, were there any fees associated? Hubby is worried that he will have to pay some kind of fee... I told him I think maybe for the courier to deliver his passport, but I don't think there is anything else, he's worried and wants to be sure nothing else is due. at the Jordanian embassy. Thanks for your help!-0-Amy


Are you going down for the interview Amy?
Are yall getting nervous?



Nope- I have a new job, and bills got WAY out of hand while I was looking for it, so There will sadly be no trip to Amman in the near future for Amy crying.gif I wish! That was my original plan, but it is just too expensive, and I would have to find someone to watch the kiddos while I went unsure.gif ! He is very nervous and every time I think about it my heart races and whatever I have had to eat thru the day is lingering on that last stiring to not come up! I think he'll be fine tho. I keep getting all kinds of support from my freind Melinda who brought her fiance' over in October... Just have to leave it all in God's hands!

How about you two? What are the interview plans? Are you going out of your head?! I am-- to think he COULD be here in less than a month?! I hope I hope I hope!!! Ok- well have a good one- I need to get ready for work!--Amy

Hi guys, since u guys have been through this, i wanted to ask if i am allowed to accompany my husband at new delhi consulate. i am us citizen. My case just completed at NVC.



you slipped that in and I didn't even see it-Ive been thru this forum several times. The answer is YES, you can accompany him to the embassy, HOWEVER the consular doing the interview has the authority to say-"You have done your work-its his turn now, please wait outside in the lobby." And I wouldn't be too surprised if they did. It shows you are right there supporting your SO. So good luck and God speed!-Amy

Thanks Amy drive safely... you know my friend lives in Colorado from VJ her husband just got here from Morocco too... Hubby and I are planning to go down there in Spring to visit.

So question....to anyone that might know ... hubby has a connecting flight in JFK and thanks to CHD now know it will be considered his POE... will 3 hours be enough time between flights?

Also, once he is here do I go right into the SS office and do we submit an application?


Rajaa- I came home thru JFK my last time to Jordan,... IT STUNK! AND I AM A CITIZEN!!! Actually I think I had about three hours, but they only had two lines open for citizens, and like 6 for immigrants! -- I barely made my check in, but I switched airlines too??? MAYBE that made a difference?Since they do it so often, it should be smooth, but the airport itsself is REALLY messed up! Make sure he is ok with ASKING for HELP finding his way around! I had to go down an elevator after I found my bags, and then recheck them at another counter! Don't even get me started! In any case, I am sure his experience will be just fine, if he could get more time @ the airport tho it might be good.. a longer layover, you know! In any case- I don't know about the soc. sec thing either, that was one question I had too, I believe he should get a welcome letter from the POE or something like that... maybe from the uscis??? In any case, I have the same question??? I hope it goes smoothly for you and he gets here with out a hitch! Good luck!?!
