Salam Gabralla and justnjust, I am from Sudan as well Umma Party located in denver Colorado. I have received a word from a sudanese friend here in denver who works with immigration officials as a member of islamic society. He informed me 3 weeks ago that a high immigration official stated that the congress and white house issued a letter to remove the HOLD Placed on Etihadi Party, and i do not know if the Umma Party is still on hold. However, based on that hold remove 7 applicants in denver received their GC. I hope that we hear some good news pretty soon inshalla.
