How it all started - a small trip to the USA ..

It all happened quickly and unpredictable , i had 3 weeks vacation (it was a must to finish them before the end of the year) i thought , Amman ? am getting bored of it and 3 weeks is way too much to handle !! hmm lets think , i called my friend in Palestine and begged her to come to Jordan she said also 3 weeks is too much but suggested the states - as my sister lives there - i laughed alot and said naaa visa issues tickets i cant afford all that and ready for it !!


Secretly and without anyone's knowledge i did it , applied online took the picture , bank account and booked for the interview in the embassy , it all happened within less than a week and Wednesday was the day , didn't want to wake up cause i thought it's hopeless for a single female to get the visa but my mom said yallah u have to go !!

i met a syrian lady in the embassy , she was soo excited unlike me - so sleepy and faithless - she was soo scared and wants to get the visa in any way since she wants to meet her future parents in-low , we made jokes and talked about everything , her number was before me and suddenly she came back smiling " ma 3atooni eyaha" and left ! i was thinking "and so am i " a couple of numbers came then mine .

quick and simple questions , my main reason to visit the states is for shopping as i mentioned and to visit my sister , the agent was so serious at the beginning but at the time i said shopping and touring around he smiled and went on asking me about my job and family :)

handed me the paper and said "Dana you can get your passport on sunday " !! i wasnt really sure if i got the visa or not but i felt that things went ok , i asked a friend he said "wallah tli3ti ashtar mini akeed akhadeteeha if there was no rejection letter" and so i did .

The very next moment all qatar knew i got the visa and flying to the states the week after , weird questions , and things to bring from there but i got really excited and just want to leave to the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA !!
