Feisal, did they keep your passport?

MZJ, Texas eh! My hubby lived in Texas, we plan to settle in Texas as well, even though my family is in Illinois, however hubby feels more comfy there.

We should meet up whenever we get there!

Ooops, sorry lonelyheart, did not mean to point any fingers and nothing directed towards you.
Gym is definately a great idea, and like i said I have been thinking about that as well
i was just throwing in another idea after yours!

and congrats on your new house....i feel the pain of no washing machine!!

WOW!!! I can't beleive these hubby's!!! The wives are waiting anxiously for their husbands and they want to spend Ramazan with their mothers! I thought Ramazan was about worship and remembering Allah....not about spending it with 'whoever'.

Prayer of blessing out to you guys....on that note.

As far as calling DOS goes, there is no reason to wait to call them. Ofcourse they have given us a minimum/maximum time limit but on the other hand, you are a USC and do have rights to inquire about what is going on. The only sad part about calling them is a negative response which only depresses/saddens you. But at least your mind is at rest that you HAVE tried! One of the reps told me I can call everyday if i wish. So why not? I am not committing a crime? So be it! Just a polite question from my side and close ended response from them. SSS! (short simple & sweet)

Gym is a great idea guys...and with me gaining weight definately I plan that as well, however HELLO!!! Ramazan is around the corner...and we all need blessings from no1 but Allah, so utilize this time in namaz and duas. Seek His help. We all have 11 months of the year to work out but for those of you who can't find answers and need strength and patience now is the time. Ask and HE shall give!

GOD BLESS!

Grin - good question...
What i did is i googled Illinois state senator and visited their website. There I was able to find their contact info as well as post my issue on their website (email).

You could even try yellow pages and call them if you are in the States
I am not sure how others have done it.

Just called the USEM and the guys was like, I hope you are aware AP take about 6-8 weeks and since your interview was a month ago, that time is not up yet. So I said, all i wanna know is, if there is any progress on the case yet or has it been forgotten on some reps desk...and he was like no no, definately there is progress on the case, you will hear from us as soon as case is complete.

Sounds a little bit more promising!!! at lease he said 6-8 weeks rather than 2-3 months!

I just said what i said because you quoted me and said when people like myself and the person you met in the emirates office.
Anyway...no don't think its about taveez or anything, insha'Allah everything will be fine for sure.

Zeha - i'm not sure if you even know how long this process has taken us? I am thankful that everything has been resolved so far, however thankful for everything being so quick...you are right I am not thankful because it was not quick at all!!

speaking of ignorance and too much knowledge, our NOA1 took 6 months. Our NOA2 took one whole year...and then after NOA2 which stated that our case is approved and forwarded to NVC, USCIS never sent it. It took 4 months, after contacting the state senator for us to actually get the case to NVC, and finally after one year and 11 months we had our interview and now we are on AP, and god knows how long that will take. So if thats quick for you, and I should be grateful....I am sorry I am not. Wish you knew how long 2 years is before you say i was ignorant and unappreciative!

waitingforapproval - I truly understand what you mean. Ops at DOS seems to have a very dead ended conversation. They kinda leave you with nothing to say except...ok thankyou!! LOL So much for paying taxes! I called the USEM and they said AP pending (two days ago) then i called the DOS yesterday and all she said was, there has been no change since you called the embassy two days ago. So what could I say? Ok thank you!

Definately K1 still goes through NVC, however they don't do any work with it, except forward it to the USEM.
You can call NVC and see what they have to say, if they have forwarded your case to the USEM then you have to wait till you hear from them, of course no harm in trying to call them.

If you have the originals thats great.....if not copies works fine. we submitted our originals to the NVC and got them back at the interview.
Take anything and everything you have. They might not ask for anything at all, but in case they do, you must have it.
If you have a genuine and good relationship, there really are not questions to study. They might just ask when/how you met/married? names of one another etc.
really simple questions.

good luck to your wife

Talha - every case is handled differently. You can not presume your wife will be put on a long AP cause someone elses was. Usually females do not have an AP, however if they do, it is normally very short, unless of course there is something fishy....
so dont worry and be patient

truthonlyplz - kindly turn of the caps lock on your keyboard as this displays yelling and anger...
Secondly, sorry to hear about your situation, but do not worry, AP for females is really short. usually there is no AP however, you should hear from the USEM really soon. Hopefully everything will work out.
Have faith on Allah
