Guys, I have a question...

In our I-129F I wrote the address I reside in, and a separate piece of paper wrote the mailing address we like USCIS and the US embassy in Cairo to mail me at (which is a mail box at the post office), then we both dated the paper and signed it... How can we make sure this is the address they are going to use to mail me? Is there anyway I can receive the visa packets there? John has sent me a few packages before and things go as such: I get a call from the PO saying I have a mail, I go there and check it, then go to a different building and pay fees that I received a package and get my packages. And when he used Express Mail to send packages I used to repeat the same steps only after checking the mail that I received a package I take a trip to the main PO in Cairo (it's a long and hard one) to go check it... And as you all know packages get checked and opened so that they make sure the content is safe...

So how can we make sure we are going to receive the visa mail and packets to my mailing address? Is there any harm if they got opened by the main PO? Do I have to sign a paper that I received a visa packet? This seems kinda confusing and we're a little worried right now... :unsure:

NOA2 will be sent to John. Packet 3 & 4 will come from Cairo and will be sent to Aya likely at residence, unless they pickup on the fact that there is a different mailing address.Dont be surprised if they dont do it as you want. I would recommend that you send the Embassy an email once it leaves NVC letting them know the address issue or even try calling then. It is a common thing in that mail ddelivery in some countries can be difficult especially to rural areas... It is fairly common to have items sent to Postal Boxes in a big city near the beneficiaries town or even to a relatives address.

Well, should we call the embassy and ask, these days, if that is possible? Could it affect our visa in anyway?

We have emailed Cairo embassy a few times to ask questions before we came across VJ. Their answers were very off-point and they never replied back when we e-mailed them back asking them for 'more' or 'any' answers at all... Cairo embassy reviews is freaking me out already.. They are known to not be 'so nice'.... What can we do, other than sending an email, to make sure there will be no mess-ups...?

When I first came here I was so surprised it rains but is still hot and humid!! I got used to it now. I find Florida hotter than Cairo because it's humid, Cairo is dry. Yesterday we went swimming for

To my knowledge, Government Agencies do not send mail to a P.O. Box address. Check with them to make sure.

We hope not.... :wacko: How can we check?

You can try calling but I think its a few months premature...

Can you get the mail at your address/residence at all? they have your residence address in the paperwork..... is there a way to contact the postal service there to work it out with them?

I've asked before at the post office I deal with if I could get any mail forwarded t my PO and they said the mail gets sent to the address on the envelope or the packet... Guess I'm going on Saturday and asking again... We have a very sensitive situation and having a hard time already with family stuff.... Please pray this gets solved soon...
