This morning I nervously opened my friend and former site mate's blog post. Farid and I had been anticipating their trip to Tbilisi for her husband's US visa, and were of course, expecting complications... as being in the Peace Corps in Azerbaijan almost always has something that complicates whatever you are attempting to do. Their visit went similar to our own, in the respects of being over prepared, scoping out the location of the interview, and being asked about every odd item in our bags. Her post can be read here: http://salammeanspeace.blogspot.com/2011/07/notes-from-georgia-part-i-zipper-drama.html
To my great relief, they were approved for the immigrant visa! I just wanted to write my joy and congratulations to them both!
This blog documents three years of service in Azerbaijan as a United States Peace Corps volunteer; and supports Peace Corps' 3rd Goal to help Americans better understand Azerbaijani life and culture.
