WAITING FOR YOUR INTERVIEW?

[amrssnowangel 0]

My SO did not get his Police Certificate translated.

Thank you...thats what I thought...that some did not have them done...I think it may save melinda some time...if she skips that and it wont slow anything down...... How long did it take to get his police certificate??

[Nagishkaw 510]

I want to say about a few days?

[amrssnowangel 0]

My SO went for his police certificate today...he is to return tomorrow afternoon to pick it up. Melinda...I'd see about getting your senator involved in a phone call. Your SO should have been able to have all of the police certificates pulled from the same place at one time so long as all are in Egypt. Also, he would have had to have had them pulled for the military...chances are he has a record of that...maybe he should compare the names they pulled with then to what they are pulling now...maybe someone made a mistake in the name they are pulling?? Just an idea.

Hi everyone!!

My finace is not from MENA but I am a semi-MENA girl

I know I already have my interview date but this waiting is no fun alone. We have another 2 months to go (5 months total).

Anyways, just wanted to wish everyone good luck

[Nagishkaw 510]

Happy to hear the news about the Police Cert, Faith!

Waiting is no fun no matter where you are in the process. I have to agree with Faith, the black hole of information and the uncertainty is the worst. Even after we receieved the visa, I waited 1 month for my SO to buy the damned ticket and coulda killed him

I wish you all luck will give any support I can ((hugs))

I sent an email too about not getting the packet 3 and they have already responded. It shows the interview went up to 131 dollars and It doesnt ask him for a D156k??? maybe where ours is k3 and not k1 we dont need the D156k i dunno. Anyway here is a copy of our email. This speeds things up for sure. Once it leaves the National Visa Center looks like you can just move along and go ahead and just mail this stuff to them as the packet 3 yourself. Yea.
