Administrative processing can take anywhere from a few days to a few years....

There is no ability to status check on the internet

YMMV

Edited by Hot Guy

Nothing's impossible . Nothing's unreachable .When I am weary you make me stronger

This love is beautiful .So unforgettable . I feel no winter cold when we are together .

Will you stand by me ?!!!Hold on and never let me go .

Will you stand by me?!! With you i know i belong . When the story gets told .

When day turns into night .I look into your eyes . I see my future now .All the world and its wonder

This love wont fade away.And through the hardest days . I will never question us .You are the reason my only reason.

I'm blessed to find what i need in a world loosing hope. you are my only believe .

You make things right every time after time.....

Will you stand by me ?!!!

I love you so much and i miss you so much more .

Email the embassy and ask for status. You can also call them. They will generally tell you it's in AP, but may give you something more if you call. My husband usually does the calling and I do the emailing. Once in a while they'll give one of us a little something they didn't give the other.

I hope what ever they are doing with your case, it will be done soon. Good luck!

Email the embassy (the email address is on the US Embassy Cairo website) and as others stated...waiting is the name of the game. However, the embassy will reply to emails about your case if you provide them with you case number.

As for how they will contact you when your VISA is ready it is done by DHL. They will send you your packet back that you paid for (if you did that this day) and you will send them your passport with a return DHL)

Best of luck on your journey.

Depends on the embassy - The US embassy in Turkey has an AP clearance site which they update regularly with case numbers that have been cleared.

Unfortunately, Cairo is neither that kind or helpful. Sometimes it feels like they enjoy making us wait and keeping us in suspense. It would be so great just to have some sort of an idea of what's going on or where the visa is at in process.

Just got another response this morning from Cairo. Same ole thing "The case is pending administrative processing. We will contact you once that is completed." I really really hate that line! 2.5 months of this since the interview.
