Gents,

I'm applying for DCF from Egypt.

I got I-130 approval and received packet 3 after 10 days of 1st interview in Cairo,

Then I'm required to complete packet 3 (i-864, ds-230, ds 3032,...and so on).

my question is what is the allowable time gap for me between receiving packet 3 and submitting it

to the embassy?

thanks alot

There's no time limit for individual forms other than those required for your interview. There is a one year time limit on the application process as a whole if i am correct.

Does anyone know the answer to this question? My husband is working on his PhD and we want to have the visa ready when he's done. We know that he will be done early next year but don't know exactly when. If we apply now and get the next packet to submit, how much time do we have inbetween? Can we delay submitting by a month or two, depending on if he needs a little more time? Once you do the interview and are approved, you have six months to enter the country, correct?

Thanks!
