CAMIANDaMIR-9/27 interview---visa 10/23

So if it's a guy it's 2 months plus....but a girl is 7-8 days...that's so sexest! lol god I'm gonna worry about that once I'm done worrying about the interview

[nababdurrahman 1]

I talked to the department of state today about my case and they told me they had to review the papers then they will issue the visa. Also, my husbands friend (a guy) isnt on visa journey but he got his cr1 visa within a week after his interview so my hopes are high!

who's the "guy/girl" you're referring to, the foreign spouse, or the USC?

Did you ask specifically if you are in ap?

The Egyptian.....

It sounds like it might be due to the military paper that was submitted later? Or maybe it just takes them a while to look over medical results. God be with u isa

[nababdurrahman 1]

i asked if i was in AP and i got the answer NO from the cairo embassy and from the department of state, separately. The medical report only takes a second to look at. If there is a problem with it then i don't think they would approve or at least they would tell you at the interview. From what i understand, they are just reviewing the papers and obviously there is a line so I can't expect the moment the paper is submitted then i get my visa, although that would be great .

This actually makes sense, if it's true. If nothing else, more security/background checks are done for men, especially within this age group. So if this trend is real, then I can understand why it is. I don't think it's a sexist thing, just national security...LoL

OMG look at the last one!! 2 months and 9 days wait till interview. EXCELLENT!!!!

I kind of understand but it seems too much focus on one group then you miss the next group that might do something. It would be fine if they dont already take so long at the other phases. I mean isn't the first step that takes 4 months a background check? Then the Nvc has it's own review? So on top of that another couple of month I just don't understand that part. But it's the process.

It all sounds good. I am praying it is sent soon.

How were your exams for school????

Good Luck

[together4evr 360]

Congrats to everyone!

I believe someone had an interview today and also someone had one on the 29th of November? Any updates?

Hi pyramids. You are next in line for an interview on the 4th!!! Will you be there? Are you the usc or egyptian? are you man or wife?

I hope it all goes smoothly.

And please keep us updated and please please please fill out your timeline so others can have a guide to go by and see how long each step in this process takes.

Thank you and God Bless
