Once he has the visa in hand, he has six months to use it. Next step is enter the USA and wait for the green card and social security cards in the mail. If you've been married less than two years on the entry date, he'll file to remove conditions 21 months after entry. This is all spelled out in the IR1/CR1 guide.

The REAL next step though, is to realize that two weeks from interview is probably overly optimistic for clearing the additional Administrative Processing for an Egyptian. It could be two weeks or six months or anything in between. Could be MORE than six months.

The profile says IR1/CR1. Which visa would be issued depends on how long the couple has been married. "As well" as what? Egyptian males almost always go through AP. If they told him two weeks, he's in AP.

I believe Horees is the one going through DCF, and was asking about his/her's own case.

My husband had his interview April 6, 2011 and they told him he will have his visa in two weeks. After he gets his visa what are the next steps????

first : congratulation :)

second: as they told him he will get his visa in two weeks , it means he does not have the AP process. cuz who enter the AP no one tells him that he will get his visa in two weeks or more they tell him, we will check on ur case again and here the website to check over ur case

so ur husband is out of the AP and thats awesome

last: now u should look for the ticket and airplanes and when he is ready to leave :) and go to hug his wife and his daughter :)

thats all what u and him should think about :)

congratulation :)

CORRECT :yes:

Then ask a clear question about your case in your own thread, to avoid confusion.

I think you should wait until he gets his passport back with the visa on it before you buy the ticket
