It's good to call/ email the embassy to find out where the petition is at. I'm not sure where the petition goes after the embassy for Egypt. Also, sometimes the packets get lost in the mail.

April 19, 2010 - NOA1 (documents received at Mexico City Embassy)

April 20, 2010 - NOA2 (received notice April 28, 2010, mailed April 27)

May 3, 2010 - Packet 3 sent (received May 27, 2010)

May 9, 2010 - I emailed them using the inquiry form asking for my case number

May 17, 2010 - received case number and link to Packet 3 by email

May 18, 2010 - sent Packet 3 to Ciudad Juarez

May 28, 2010 - called Ciudad Juarez to see if we had an appointment yet, they said wait 6-8 weeks :(

May 30, 2010 - I return to the US

June 8, 2010 - called and found out appointment date

June 16, 2010 - received Packet 4

July 6, 2010 - interview - Approved!

July 7, 2010 - pick up visa at DHL and POE to activate

July 29, 2010 - welcome letter received

August 1, 2010 - my husband comes home to me

Goes to the USCIS field office with jurisdiction over Cairo and then back

YMMV

Thanks, payxibka.

I'm not sure if you want to contact the embassy then or the field office. I do know that you want to track your petition in DCF but I don't know enough to give advice in this situation. Isn't Cairo under Rome? Here's the offices in that area, but I don't know where this petition would go.
