Middle East and North Africa	Update	Yesterday My wife sent an email to Dhaka Embassy, she wanted to know what is the position of our marriage certificate verification, Dhaka Embassy replied her as follow : Dear Ms. Ahmed Thank you for contacting us. Please note that we have not completed our verification process yet. We are unable to provide you with specific information regarding the progress of the process at this stage nor can we provide you any specific time frame on the administrative process but we will contact you as soon as the process is complete. In the mean time we appreciate your patience and understanding on this matter. I hope this information is helpful. Regards.

Middle East and North Africa	Update	It is long time I didn't post here. Actually very tried from longggggg waitttttt. Hope all brothers & sisters are fine here in the forum. Today is exactly 6 months I had my interview and still no news. Waiting for marriage certificate verification from Dhaka Embassy. It is now 6 months still they don?t have time to verify the marriage certificate, though it is only one hour matter. Our marriage register office and US Embassy in the same city and only 15 min drive. Any way, I believe it is Allah?s choice and Inshallah he will make it easy?. Please pray for us?.. Thanks to all	Bismillahir	Not Telling	0	2006-03-12 00:58:00
Middle East and North Africa	Another UPDATE	I know this is off the subject, but doesn't NVC do all the security checks prior ro sending this type of petition to the consulates? That was my understandingand and if that is so, why then are more being done? I think you need the help of your senator and congressman. Have you had them make an inquiry for you? It sounds just like Ellis was writing and telling us about. Ie...needless delay by CO's. This sounds just like it. When paperwork is sent back to DHS, doesn't it go through NVC? Is this a petition return? Just some questions I would have. Thanks ?Chiquita? for ur post I had my interview on 12th September 2005. My fingerprint check, security clearances, name check all done. Embassy took my passport on 20th March 2006 suppose to issue visa, they didn?t tell that they returned our petition back to DHS, or NVC. They just told forwarded the case to DHS for approval and DHS must see the passport. (Please read my opening post for the short story)	Bismillahir	Not Telling	0	2006-04-11 08:51:00
Middle East and North Africa	Another UPDATE	It is now 3 weeks embassy took my passport and sent to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for approval. Embassy told DHS office must see the passport. Do you know what they want to see in my passport & it will take how long approximately to return back the passport from DHS. Ohhhh it is hard to wait any more. I had my first interview on 12th September 2005, that means before 7 months. Still waiting waiting waiting	Bismillahir	Not Telling	0	2006-04-11 01:22:00
Middle East and North Africa	Another UPDATE	Thanks to all for reply and prayers. I pray for you all Inshallah Allah (swt) will reward you for your prayers. They sent my passport to the DHS, don?t know how long it will take to return back, but meanwhile if I need to go outside of Saudi Arabia I can?t?..because of my passport. Saudi Arabia is not my native country, I just work here. So my passport is very important to me.	Bismillahir	Not Telling	0	2006-03-29 08:41:00
Middle East and North Africa	Another UPDATE	My wife sent an email to Riyadh Embassy and very highly requested them not to wait any more for the marriage certificate verification, as it is already more than six months now. She offered if embassy wants we can submit them many evidences in favor of our true marriage and loving relationship. Embassy sent her a positive reply. They asked me to go Embassy with all our evidences and they will see if they can issue my visa without waiting for marriage verification. I went embassy on 20th March and submitted them all our evidences. The supervisor saw all our evidences and he commented that you have many evidences, then he took all our evidences and my passport. He gave me a slip and told they will review my case and will contact me. Today my wife sent another email to the embassy and they replied the following : Dear Ms. Ahmed My boss reviewed the case and she forwarded to Department of Homeland Security (DHS) office for approval and the DHS office must see the passport. I will inform your husband immediately after DHS approval. Regards, IV Unit US Embassy Riyadh My question, do you know it happened the same for anybody else. I think I didn?t see here in visa journey same thing the case forwarded to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). If there are same situations happened for anybody please share your experience.

Middle East and North Africa	Port of Entry	Alhamdulillah it was very easy and nice I went to the immigration officer and submitted him my passport and brown envelop, he saw them and asked me to come with him. He then took me to another room and asked me to have a seat and another officer will complete my immigration formalities. About half an hour later another immigration officer came and took all my papers in his hand then he opened the brown envelope and looked at all the papers. I am sure he is very new for the immigration things, so he was searching for some instructions from his files but he couldn’t find what he will do for my immigration. Then he just put an arrival stamp on my passport and asked me to give him my wife’s contact no. incase if he needs anything later on. I gave him my wife’s contact no. then he told me, ok all done now u can go and meet your wife. As much as I knew from visa journey, the immigration officer is suppose to put another stamp on my passport as I came with a CR-1 visa. He just put the usual arrival stamp. So is there any one here that can tell me, what is the stamp the officer has put on your passport when you or your spouse came thru customs and Immigrations at the point of entry into the United States with the CR-1 visa?

Middle East and North Africa	help asap	I will just suggest to keep at least 4 hours time for next flight, becasue some times it takes more than 2 hours to finish immigration things.

Middle East and North Africa	Wrong Address	Brother BBR it states on the paperwork to contact them after 30 days if you had not gotten your card or heard from them. Did sister give the post office a change of address form on you? I would of thought once she changed addresses she did this as Jean mentioned. If she has not I would contact them immediately and give them an updated change on your name. Good luck. Mary P.S. Did you get your social security card yet? Thanks sister Mary for ur post. Today we went to the post office and provide them forwarding mailing address. But my doubt if by this time it came thru and returend back. Another point, the person of post office told us for the letters from the immigration department they don't forward to the forwarding address. They send beck the letter to the immigration department with the forwarding address. So it is upto immigration department whether they will send again the letter to the forwarding address. Sister, do u think we need to fill the "change of address" form and send to the DHS. Please give ur suggestion. No, we didn't get my social security card? How we can get when there is problem with our mailing address. But by this time we went to the Social security office and applied for one and they told we will receive one in 2 weeks. Thanks again sister mary for ur post.	Bismillahir	Not Telling	0	2006-06-30 15:29:00
Middle East and North Africa	Wrong Address	When I field the Form DS-230 Part I. In the section # 11 [section 11: Address in the United States where you want your Permanent Resident Card mailed…] I put my wife postal address (post box no.). I entered to the United States on 11 June, it is now 20 days I am in the US, but my wife changed her postal address before few months and I don’t know that, even she also forgot to change the address with the USICS. When I am waiting to receive my welcome letter, social security card and green card, it suppose to comes in 3 weeks but it taking long time then I doubt about the address and I found that the address I put in the form it is no more valid………….my wife talked to the USICS for changing the address they told that they can’t change anything until it becomes 30 days of my arrival. So what is the easy solution of our problem and how I can get my Green Card easily.	Bismillahir	Not Telling	0	2006-06-30 09:14:00

Middle East and North Africa	Alhamdulillah Rabbil Alamin	As-salamualikum wa-rahmatullah wa-barakatu Firstly - I would like to pay all my thanks to almighty Allah (swt), who is the only giver and taker and he made it possible for me. I got my VISA Alhamdulillah Rabbil Alamin. Secondly - I would like to thanks from the bottom of my heart to all of them here in the visa journey who kept me in their prayers, who gave me valuable suggestion & support several times in several issues, who showed their sympathy during the hard time I was in the AR, who replied me in my post of Visa Journey and also thanks to all of the participants in this nice site VISA JOURNEY. I must need to pay thanks to the authority of VISA JOURNEY, who build this website. There is no doubt that the site is veryyyyyyy helpful for both of us visa Applicants and Petitioners. This website seems the world very best immigration lawyer/attorney. In this connection I just feel to mention one very nice topic from my wife. At the beginning of our visa process I asked my wife whether we need to appoint any immigration lawyer, she answered me that we have the most powerful lawyer in the world, the supper power and our lawyer is our creator almighty Allah (swt), we don?t need to appoint any more lawyer. Her that nice comment made me very pleased and all the time it was in my mind. Thirdly ? I must need to mention one thing, which I am feeling every moment for them who are still under AR for the long time. My heart breaking for them. I can realize their pain, because I was in AR 7 months. I will never stop prayer for them until they will be in the arms of their beloved. I can?t remember all the names who are under AR, but as much as I remember following sisters/brother still under AR. Please note that all you are in my prayers and the name I can?t remember they are also in my prayers. morocco4ever / Shonjaved / mianishqsrose / crazyinEgypt / Omid karen2705 / jackielovesnabil / Aymerlu / djbali / chiquita / Fatimah / Fatima / bornot2b / kiya / lostinlove228 /mawelvan / flygirlalbny / moroccogirlny / ella74ny??and others who I can?t remember names I will not stop prayer for all of you.
