Hey there,
Boncuk, you always was the one who used to give us hope, so please don't give up, I know it is very hard, I have been there, but don't loose hope, you have to keep thinking positive, I guess Cairo office has a backlog, because of the population number and as well due to the small number of officer as I have read, so think that it is very positive asking for your husband passport, but it might take time, and think as well that you are with him and not seperated and under all this stress, hopefuly this week you will hear something.
Marlena, that is good that they got the passport, hope you get the email this week, and if not, don't be scared, you will get it next week, in my case it took about 12 days to get the email.
About the driving courses, I guess I will register next week, I feel little stupid taking courses after that I have been driving since 1999, but I have to learn the laws and the sign ....non of these sign excist in Lebanon.
