"These photos don't do any of these justice.... we are so grateful to of finished decorating our apartment here in the USA thanks to @sannib_london and his beautiful artwork," Avery captioned the slideshow of items, which included a pair of gold, red and blue plates.
"The big art piece shows thanks to Allah while the other have our names in beautiful calligraphy. If you need any beautiful UNIQUE artwork go to his page and order."
Avery announced on her YouTube channel earlier this month Omar's spousal visa to come to the United States had been approved.
Avery and Omar, who spent more than a year apart following their wedding in Lebanon, have seemingly been living together in the United Arab Emirates since late last year. (Avery's December 2020 social media posts suggested they had settled down in Abu Dhabi or Dubai).
But ever since meeting, the 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days couple's dream has been to live in America together near Avery's family, and it appears that dream has finally come true.
Avery gushed in the three-minute YouTube video posted on March 15, "He gets to meet my whole family. We get to go to America! He gets to see his family. He hasn't seen his brother in almost 10 years and they're, like, best friends... And I miss my cat so bad."
Avery admitted that if Omar's visa had been denied, she'd be "so upset."

While fans are probably hoping to watch more of Avery and Omar's love story unfold on the 90 Day Fiance franchise, it appears the couple is done with reality TV.
"I know most people want to know what Omar and I are up to but a more private life is a happy life, and believe me we are happy," Avery wrote in a December 22 Instagram post.

"No, we won't be on TV anymore," Avery responded to a question on a December 8 selfie.
Avery -- who was apparently going to school online at the time and is presumably still enrolled in classes -- also wrote to a fan on December 11, "We will not be on TV anymore. We are not on contract any more and we refused any more filming by choice."
During a May 2020 episode of 90 Day Fiance: Self-Quarantined, Avery, a 21-year-old from Columbus, OH, was living by herself while Omar was still living in Syria.
Avery said she and Omar had been married for over a year and were patiently waiting for Omar to be able to come to the United States.
"We had an interview scheduled for a spousal visa for [Omar] to come to the United States on March 30. Unfortunately, just a few days before his interview, we got the news that it was canceled due to COVID-19," Avery revealed.
Avery was growing impatient because she wanted to be reunited with her husband, and so she said, "If he doesn't get to come here within the next six months, we are going to move to the [United Arab Emirates] to Dubai."

Avery was 19-year-old former Christian who converted to Islam, and Omar was a 24-year-old Muslim man and dental student from Latakia, Syria, when they starred on Season 3 of 90 Day Fiance: Before the 90 Days last year.
They had met on a Muslim dating app and got engaged just one month after getting to know each other.
Avery then made plans to fly to Lebanon to finally meet her fiance in person and get married.
The couple decided on Lebanon since it was a safer place for them to meet considering there's a war in Syria.
Despite a U.S. travel ban on Syrian citizens, Avery hoped to eventually bring Omar to the United States on a CR-1 visa.
Avery learned if she was going to have any chance of Omar coming to the United States, she couldn't move to Syria because the only thing the government would acknowledge -- if they did acknowledge it -- was the fact the married couple had been forced to live apart from each other.
"If we make that decision to move out of the country, we make that decision for good," Avery told her husband. "We're just giving up America altogether."
