PENDING PETITIONS

[Ruby56 0]

Hi just to let you know as it stands I emailed our embassy and Egypts, in evacuations by US which ended on Feb. 5, if you were living there with your husband and he had a passport he could fly to country of choice US flew you out to but if he/she is still in immigration process he would have to stay in the country you were flown to prior to flight to US, (greece,turkey,etc.)and proceed getting his visa from there. They would not fly him to US with you from there otherwise.

Do you know this applies to Permanent Residents and their families etc...?

Your fellow country man would like this information on this thread - http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/294690-the-current-situation-in-egypt/page__gopid__4464684#entry4464684

I emailed the US Embassy in Cairo and got this response:

The Embassy regrets the inconvenience caused to the Egyptian public by our current inability to provide visa services. In light of current situation, please note the following:

* The U.S. Embassy is currently providing only emergency American Citizens Services in the Consular Section. Americans needing emergency services can come to the Embassy's West Entrance (Consular Entrance) from 9:00 am-12:00 noon Sunday-Thursday.

* Due to the security situation and reduced staffing at the Embassy, no visa interviews are being conducted until further notice. The Embassy will inform Vodafone and the public when we are able to begin visa interviews again.

* Any visa applicant who was interviewed on January 27, 2011 or earlier and whose passport is currently at the Embassy for visa issuance will have his/her case processed to completion. All issued visas will be returned by DHL. DHL will contact applicants regarding the delivery of their passports.

* Visa applicants should not come to the Embassy to inquire about the status of their cases.

* Information about all consular services is posted on the Embassy's website at http://cairo.usembassy.gov Consular SectionU.S. Embassy, Cairo

Hopefully the embassy will reopen soon for visa processing. I thought this post may be helpful.
