Alhamdulillah my wife (ek_larki) has received her passport back with visa today. I am grateful to Allah (swt) and thankful to all the forum members who have helped my wife and I in this dreadful process.
My prayers are for those who are in this process especially 2009/2010 applicants and people who are in interview queue. May Allah (swt) unite you with your loved one's very soon.
