AR/AP processing times in EGYPT

[M+S 0]

I also think Christian males get it too really easy.because I know someone he is male and he had DCF and he got approved the same day and got teh visa without any Ap or AR even though...so listen to this they married in the 14 Feb and they filed a DCF 2 weeks later so that should be at the beging of March and he ahd his intevriew in 24 April I think and he was approved the same day and got the visa too....

his wife is a friend of Mark's friend that how we get to know them

At face value I would have to disagree. I don't know the details around the interview, so maybe I am speaking out of turn, BUT if the beneficiary is from the T26 country and is male between the ages of 18 - 45 he is subject to AR.

Now if we are talking about a returned petition without the acceptance of evidence, THAT is a major problem, and we have been seeing it in consuls such as Casa.

Again, I don't know the specifics, but sounds like typical AR, no?

Key word is being "subject", but not everyone gets it. There are no patterns that can be followed

Not everyone gets it for AS LONG as others, but trust me, everyone gets it. Even those who are approved on the same day. I guess I just happen to believe there are patterns

How do you get AR when you are approved same day?

I agree with this as well, for some reason in the Middle East the passports are branded with the relgion.

Some people are approved the same day and get their visa the same day... how can they ensure picking up their visa the same day if they go on AP/Ar?

How would they know they are christian? Not that I'm nitpicking... But I don't imagine x-ians appear any different than muslims? as far as physical attributes go.

Its on the passport and birth certificate

Jasamine,

I'm deeply sorry for what you're going through. My heart goes out to you. I have added you to my prayers. To have your son sick and going through this process is just beyond anything I can express...

I understand everyone's frustration... we all deserve to speak our minds.

I understand what you mean Jean since my fiance is in a similar situation. He is between a rock and a hard place and I can't do anything to help him. It's soooooooooooooo frustrating.

I just don't understand this system... My fiance and I are both from Iran, we're Moslems, and we've been out of Iran for years. We speak the same language... we are from the same city... BUT because of his first name being a religous name he has been on AP since May of last year. Our case hasn't even make it to the consulate. How much checking can they do when all they have is a name and a birth date. They don't even have his fingerprints... Obviously we had a name hit and GOD knows how long more we're suppose to wait. AND no one can do anything about it... Sometimes I just want to scream...it's not fair...

So I understand how you feel... I told my guy our places should have been reversed... then I probably be here by now ... I'm soooo happy for all of you who have your visa... It gives me hope... I wish to GOD that we have some movement soon... The waiting drives me crazy.

Best to all of you and please pray for us who are still waiting.

Jasmine, hang in there...

Salwa congrats again... you worked hard for this

and everyone else keep posting

You are right about that Salwa, My husband met this guy from egypt and he's christian and he got his K3 approved very quickly. He told my husband it didn't take too long for him to get his visa..

have to add as soon as my husband heard the egyptian guys name he knew he was christian. Guess they just know the difference.

Yes, last names are a big tell-tale signs but more so for arabs. I'm not quite sure if a Consular would know all the names, I sure don't. Too many!
