Answer 1

It is vitally important when applying for any visa with any country (especially the USA and UK) that your documentation is in order. You are wasting time and money asking for visa's to be processed if your paperwork is not in order. Sometimes it is worth checking with an immigration lawyer before you file paperwork to make sure it is in order.

I hope you get this sorted soon.

Answer 2

You have to remember that there is no right to immigrate into the United States.  When an American gets married to a citizen of a foreign country the American is always taking a chance that a visa will not be issued.

At this point you should consider retaining an attorney who is highly experienced in immigration law.  You should also contact your Congressman (best to visit his/her local office) and request assistance in getting information from the US embassy in Jordan as to exactly what is needed for the case to proceed.
