Hi everyone,

Well we just received our NO2A - Approved for our F1 visa petition :) My question is once my fiances receives the packet from the embassy, how long does he have to prepare the documents and send back to them? I have read some places on here that he has weeks, but I also thought that the NOA2 has a expiration date (I do not have the hard copy yet).

Also, any advice or suggestions from ppl who have gone thru the Cairo embassy that may make our interview or process go a little easier would be greatly appreciate.

Thanks everyone!!

Congratulations on the approval!! How exciting!! :dance: I don't think you have to worry about the NOA2 expiring, it's more up to how quickly the embassy receives your paperwork and how quickly they get the packets out to you.

I am sure you will be getting some good input about the k1 visa, but off hand, I don't know!!

Congrats again!!!:star:

Thanks Andrea :) I am very excited. Just yesterday Mohamed and I were talking and I said I have a feeling we will be getting an approval soon, and later last night I got the email :dance: At first I was scared to read it because I thought maybe it was a RFE hehe.

Hope all is going well with you, I'm sure I will need your help when it gets closer to the interview!! :)

I know I love Disney too, I'm going back the first week in August for a couple of days..I guess I should make reservations :whistle: I seen your pics on FB when you guys were at Downtown Disney, how did he like that? When Mohamed comes we definately all need to get together and go (We will get Mohamed an annual pass too :) )

How was the process of getting him his DL?

Downtown Disney was awesome but HOT!! We didn't stay too long. I only wanted to show him the area!

Sameh has an appt this Friday to get his FL ID card. I have been playing phone tag with a lady with the DMV to get someone who will read the questions to him and let him answer since they only offer the test in english, spanish, and creole. He does really well with me reading the questions and letting him choose the answers but when he reads it, well lets put it this way, his phonics can use some work!:whistle:

We will defintely have to get together for Disney! It'll be like meeting half way!! LOL
