Hello everyone, Just wanted to share our latest Embassy news with you.

A women from the Embassy called and told my husband to be at the Embassy in Cairo at 9 am this morning. They told him to bring pictures, a copy of passport and any greeting cards. He was the first to be seen this morning. They asked him several questions about us, my family, if we spoke on the phone and internet often, what our conversations are about, who were my best friends, family names, his and mine, they looked at the pictures and asked who were the people in the pictures, then told him they wold contact him soon to send his passport.

Is it too early to get my hopes up? God I hope this is the last step before he gets his visa.

It does sound like good news!

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.

I agree it sounds like very good news. I'm just curious though.....what is up with these second interviews lately?? Did they lose the documentation from the first one? I mean seriously what purpose does the second one serve?

That's got to be the million dollar question I would like to know the answer to. I see no real purpose in a second interview . They should have got it right the first time, IMPO.

Sometimes they keep the passport, sometimes they don't. I would not go by that as far as a denial or approval. The good news is, if at any time the CO was to suspect fraud or think the case should be denied, the interview would have stopped right then and there. Perhaps it is a case of different CO's doing different things, and honestly I wish had some straight answers for you.

" Clean version of hell " ? Yep.

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.
