NVC: Cairo Embassy IR-1/CR-1

[jralsibai 0]

This is what was written in the embassy website, so if you want to contact them in regards of the backlog email them.

"Please send an email to the direct attention of the Consul General: ConsularCairoNIV@state.gov and he will reach out to you directly."

I am hoping they are lying to you. I have not seen any Novemeber dates on the embassy website.

I wish we could write someone and explain that the embassy needs more staff to catch up on the back log. Does anyone have any ideas?

I find it very difficult to believe that the wait time for Cairo is now 7 months! Our interview should have been this month. I wonder did they not get interviews for those who stopped at a certain point in April. I also find it difficult to believe that since the NVC was off Monday that they were finished scheduling interviews for November on Wednesday. I still have hope that we will get an interview for November. I really doubt that the wait time is 7 months now, but I may be wrong.

I agree, this is really weird and unusual. I feel like the chances should have been higher than normal because now it seems as though they are caught up with DV visas so there should be more room for CR1/IR1 or K visas...or any type for that matter. This is so frustrating. I don't even know how to tell my husband, he will be so sad. The most frustrating thing for me is that when you call the NVC and they tell you that you don't have an interview for November there is nothing that you can do or say to change that. I guess we all have to think in a positive way...let's hope that by the end of the month we can hear about December interviews.

Well, I guess this is a little hope. I just read another thread in which a VJ member was told that the November interviews were completed and he was not scheduled for an interview. Now, he has an interview scheduled. I'm thinking, maybe, there's a bit of hope there.

Thanks Lina. I am wondering if any people have tried writing them and just stating "I am concerned about the backlog of cases in Cairo for interviews since the revolution or closing and it does not seem to be getting better. Is there anything I can do as a citizen of USA?Egypt to assist in expediting these cases that have been waiting 6 months. Is there someone I can write to request assitance to be sent to Cairo? I know you all must also be concerned. This is keeping many loving couples apart and placing our lives on hold. I have noticed that other middle Eastern countries are able to schedule their CR-1 interviews with a couple months. This is where I hope to see Cairo soon. Please tell me what I can do to help the embassy.

Thank you

Warm Regards

I think if all the 50,000 cases that are waiting just cuts and pastes this in an email then we might see some progress. I do not believe a caring letter would hurt or delay the embassy. I believe if we bond together it will only help. And it will feel good to know that you are being proactive in your case instead of sitting around waiting while someone else controls your destiny. I will write my letter soon in hopes that the embassy will get assitance until the backlog is cleared up.

Good luck to everyone and I hope you care enough to contact someone and try to do something good for yourselves and others still behind you.

wooooooooooooooow lena

It's really very happy News u are given us great hope God bless u my dear

I will make a guess that we will get our interview dates on October 29th, because I think that they may have scheduled April 16th to May 15th cases in November and, I am guessing that they will schedule May 16th to June 15th cases in December. That's just a guess.
