Not sure what to think!

[Kristi & Fady 0]

Hey everyone! Today Fady had his interview at the embassy in Cairo. He got there at 7:30 this morning and waited in a long line outside the embassy. Then when he was inside, he waited for 4 hours until he was called. He had a 50 minute interview with the consular and then the last question he was asked was if he had smoked marijuana this morning! Fady was up for 18 hours and had only 2 hours of sleep before his interview. he was dead tired and sick and then he gets accused of smoking weed before his interview! So we didn't get approved or denied but Fady had to go to the hospital to do a drug test. Now I guess he has to go back to Cairo tomorrow to get his drug test results and mail his passport and the results by DHL to the embassy. This is really just a nightmare. We are both so upset about it. I was hoping so bad to hear he was approved and everythign was fine. But now we still dont know if we are approved or not and we really dont know when we will know. Has anyone had this experience before?! Fady never smokes weed and it super sucks that he was just really tired and looked like ####### at the interview. He said that the papers the consular had said approved on them. Does that just mean the papers were approved and then there is a final approval after the interview? Of course he will pass the drug test but I wonder how long this set us back. And I was also surprised that he had such a long interview! Why do some people get really short interviews and others have really long ones? We had tons of proof and information. I just dont understand whats up. Please comfort us and give advice....thanks!

Kristi,

First let me say I am sorry to hear of the delay to your case!

While I do not have any concrete advice to give you I am sure someone will come along and offer you some good concrete advice. I pray this matter is solved in a timely.

Keep faith my dear, at least you know it is done and all you 2 need to do now is send the embassy the drug test results and sit back and wait for the visa to arrive! Isn't that awesome news in itself??? Best wishes to you!

I'm sorry your fiance had to go through this! There's really no way of telling why some people have short interviews and others long ones. From what you wrote, it seems that everything else was fine, I'm sure he will be approved once he gets the results!

A lot of the interview length depends on the VO. I know when my wife went for her interview in Guangzhou, some VO's were doing short 10 to 15 minute interviews and one in particular was taking 30 to 45 minutes (of course that is the one she got). The guy is infamous and very difficult to get approved. I don't know what takes so long with him as he only asked her 5 questions but it was still 30 minutes. Sorry to hear you are dealing with this.

It is heart rending to know your fiancee was put thru this but be happy that he was not outright denied. Be positive that this few days set back is just a test of your love and all will be well and you will be together forever.

Thanks everybody! We just hate to be in this situation. We were so happy for his interview date and we thought it was going to be easy and fast and he would be approved and today we would be looking at plane tickets! I think it hurts more because we assumed everythign would be so perfect. And if he would have just had more sleep the night before, maybe none of this would have happened! He doesnt smoke or do any drugs. Oh well tho...nothing we can do. Thanks for your wishes and kind words. Hope we hear something soon!
