[tenderheartusa79 14]

Hi everyone

My interview went really good but the sad thing is the CO gaves me my passport back .

I arrived to the USA embassy in Cairo at 6:15 kinda early there were about 5 or 6 people there .

At 6:45 they asked us to form 2 lines one for immigration visa and one for non immigration visa.

and there were so many people at that time .At 7 am they let us in and they gave us numbers and check our packages and they took cell phone mp3 players.................

and they told us to wait in the visa unit .

At 7:30 they start to work and calling numbers .And at 8:05 they called my number it was an Egyptian woman .she sounds like she doesn't know anything about anything she asked me for my medical exam and for the visa receipt i was like huh i sent them in packet 3 and then she checked my packet and she said oohh i thought you are DV visa i said its ok and then she asked me did you get married i was like NO ?!!!!!

she took my birth certificate and the amry certifivcte and then she asked me to go and pay for DHL (67 LE)and then to go back and sit down for awhile. and then at 9:10 they called my number again it was very nice American woman in her 30's and she took my fingers prints and she asked me to go back and sit down for a while and they will call me again

I was praying to have that woman again cause when i was waiting there were 2 American men (CO) and it seems like they were giving problems to every one and they were yelling so much and they even were calling Egyptian assistance to let those people go

At 10:30 they called my number again and it was the same American woman .

she didn't ask me if i want the interview in English or Arabic cause i was talking to her in English when she was taking my finger prints .

she says well i was reading your petition and i want you to tel me your story and i started to tell her our story since i met my queen till today and she was listening and typing on her computer .after i done she asked me some questions like :-

1-When and how did you meet?

2-How many times have you met?

3-What are the dates of the visits?

4-What does she do for a living? and explain what does she really do ?!!!!!

5-Do you know how long she has had this job?

6-When did she divorce her ex-husband?

7-Does your fiancée have any children?

8-Do you plan to have a family and children?

9-Where and when were you engaged? why you didn't get married when she was here in April of 2007? and she starts to act like the doesn't know anything about the marriage form !!!!!!

10-whar do you do for living? explian what do you really do ? what your company import ?!!!!!

11-What company does she work for and what is her title?

12-what do you love about your fiancée?

13-what do you have in commen?

14-why your finance's firts marriage did not work out ?

15-Does she has a car?

16-do you know when did they hire her ?

17-do you have any relatives or friends in USA?

18-Does she live by her own or with her family ?

19-why she didn't come to visit you last year (2008)

20-when did you get that job?

and i tried to show her our pictures,Emails,gifts recpiets.......she was like its ok i have enough . and she gave me my passport back and she said i need to do some AR and she gave me a yellow paper i was like she was like its ok . its normal i asked her how long it will take she said hopefully 2 weeks !!!!!!! and she said we will call you and ask you to send your passport to us.

she asked me if i wantto telll her anything esle and i start to talk about how much i love my queen and we really had enough bad luck and we want to be together ..................

so it seems like they put everyone in AP i really don't know why ??!!!

so now i will joing everyone who is waiting in the waiting room .

I don't know much about Cairo, but it sounds like your interview went well. I hope your AP passes very quickly. Best wishes to you both.

[Shawna Mahmoud 0]

I don't know why Cairo is putting everyone in AP either but I am praying for you and I hope that it is resolved quickly. I know this has been rough on you and your love.

[ya falaha! 0]

AR/AP is pretty standard for Cairo, really no way around it. Sounds like it went well. They did ask an awful lot of questions though.

[JeanneVictoria 55]

Congratulations on your interview! Wael had his interview but waited 5 months for Cairo to issue his visa. It's just a waiting game now HG so hang in there!

Good luck!

[Christie_Samir 0]

Hello, am glad to hear that your interview went GOOD, but am sorry to hear that it went to AP like ours and everybody elses. I was hoping and praying your would be different! I wish you and your Queen all the Best Luck! Talk to you soon!

Congrats on finishing the Interview. Seems like what they usually say. AP/AR and maybe in 2 weeks send us your passport.

For Adam, his interview was in May and his AP was 3 1/2 months, then they requested the Movement Cert which usually takes 2-3 weeks but his never came for 4 months. Some Egyptian guys get asked for the Movement Cert after AP and some do not.

Hopefully, it will go quicker for you than what happened to us but anyhow it seems like you passed, now is time for the waiting game!

If your fiance is older don;t count on them being fast.

They went to his home 3 monts later and investigated everything ,

then it took 3 more month after calling them a few times to give us any info at all .

That was 16 months ago and still no visa .

Don;t count on the Cairo Embassy to go fast.

Eveybody has different circumstance but get ready for a long wait .

We finally gave up and decided not to get married and just stay friend.

It

Its a gracy wait and in the end not worth it !

At least she was smiling and friendly when she "stuck it to you".

[MsMariah 0]

Thanks for all this detail, I hope the AR is quick and painless and you get your visa soon.

[Nagishkaw 510]

They gave back my husbands passport his first interview. At the second they stamped it with the visa after the interview was over. Sometimes they keep it, sometimes they dont. AP is standard, like Astarte said. Hopefully, you won't have to agonize in it long.

[RonelllovesHamdi 0]

It sounds pretty good. The woman was the same one we had she asked alot of questions to, espeially the "what to you have in common?" They will probably ask for your passport in few weeks! Congratulations!!

At least they had your petition to look at ours was not even at the embassy yet from NVC!

[Sandrila 1]

I am sure everything will be fine.

You did all what you can do and I heard Cairo is very difficult consulate.

I cant believe you remember every question they asked you THAT WAS TOO MUCH!

My husband only got asked like 3 or 4 general questions and that was it, maybe cuz we were married.

But sit tight, those of us who had AP endured it and PRAY, GOD HEARS YOU!

LOST IN EGYPT 4 YOU

I guess you had a bad experience but this is a place for encouragement not DISCOURAGEMENT!

Congrats Tender

Please don't worry...put your faith in God and know that things will all happen as they need to and all for a reason. Things sounded like they went well...each time is different. She did have you pay the DHL fee...its all good and normal for Cairo. Stop worrying now and be thankful the interview went well! Smile!!!

Next, start calling and emailing them on a weekly basis. You guys are among friends and we are here for you on those gray days!!

Still...Congrats and Dance!
