Big Hugs!

To everyone who have read, re-read, commented, re-visted to check replies to your comments.. BIG HUGS and a BIG THANK YOU.

Yes, finally a load of my mind when the papers arrived via msn and now sitting in a folder on my pc. Immediately, many things have to be done; scheduling and shifting of business trip so that a day in Singapore is possible, translations for pay slips which is originally in german, an appointment to do a medical check up, getting another copy of our daughter's original birthcert (we misplaced the first one) and of course, the usual ordeal of getting a visa entree-permit to Singapore, which itself, will take a few weeks.

Betul tu Spasticolon, 'Egpyt' is also considered one of those 'Black Listed' countries and those holding these passports, will have to go through a lot of nonsensical paperworks to enter Singapore. And after a long trip to TINY ISLAND Singapore, they can't even THINK about visting Neighbouring countries (Malaysia has good relations with Egypt, alhamdulillah) if they plan to return back to Singapore for their flight. Sure, you can go down to the Immigrations Authority and line up behind the long queue of foreign workers and maids and apply, but that's not after getting yourself a local sponsor bla bla bla... I had enough of this nonsense. I hate for husband and daughter to be subjected to all that degradation and not to mention, embarassement at the airport as they pass the customs. (Yes, officers will be after us, checking out their passports and valid visas!!!)

Ok, now I just have to pray that everything else will go smoothly. Inshallah

Hope everything will go smoothly Insyallah.

At least in Singapore you don't have to worry about "How much shall I bribe the officer to get this done?"
