MENA Family in Egypt Approved to Visit!!

[Nothing1234 2]

Alhamdullilah! Congratulations! We are so happy for you!

We would also like to invite our family to visit from Egypt. My husband has been here since May 2007. My 25 year old stepson is dying to visit us here. Can you give us some insight or some suggestions on what to say to help get his visit visa?

How long did it take for them to get the interview after filing the forms? Should he apply at the American consulate in Cario? What forms should he fill out?

Any help you can give us would be appreciated.

Hi Irene,

I sent you a PM on the steps and I wish you the best of luck!!!

Thanks for your help and all the info. I received your email.

OMG! I am still in shock...a few months back my BIL (19 yrs old) in Egypt applied for a visitor VISA with my MIL but was denied. She was approved for a 5 year. We figured the reason...young male, ME backround, no ties, etc.

Today my SIL (married/24 with a son), the same BIL (19 yrs) and nephew (4 yrs) had their interviews. They were taken together and the male that interviewed them was very nice. He looked at all their proof, pictures together, my info and hubbys plus babies pics, etc. However, at the end he said SORRY YOU ARE DENIED. My SIL was so upset...she started to get angry with him stating, WHY? Tell me how you can deny me to see my family, twin neice/nephew and brother. If you deny me now, I will not see them for 5 years. Are you kidding me?!? You're denying our family the right to see eachother, what is your reason?!? I want to talk with your supervisor, please this is my family and its just not right. I must see my neice/nephew now...I can not wait till they are grown up. It's hard enough just staring at a webcam. We cry to hold them just one time. Please I want to see your supervisor. He called another man over and they told her, okay, listen fill out another the application again, this time instead of visiting for 6 months (which they had put on the form as my MIL did last year) put down 2 months. We will approve you.

So it took her 2 hours to fill out all three forms (BIL, SIL and Nephew) but she did it! The supervisor took their passports, said congrats, you are approved! You will get them back in about 3 to 5 days.

They called us screaming at 4am But well worth the screams! WE ARE DANCING!!! Our entire family is actually coming from Egypt now (minus one brother in the military). Hamdulillah!!!!!!!!!
