I Need Help to Schedule interview in Cairo -Egypt

[IBYA 0]

Hello everyone. I'm new here and I need your help. I am the USC and my Fiance is going for the K-1 Visa. She did the Biometrics, the medical and I sent out the affidavit of support I-134. We've been waiting since May 25th to hear from the Cairo Embassy to schedule the interview. What should I do to speed things along. Should I contact them again and who would I contact. Or is there a way to schedule the visa interview online? Also is there a specific time frame for this process? What am I doing wrong because it is taking a long time. I would really appreciate your help in setting us on the correct path to get this accomplished. Thank you very much.

Welcome to VJ!

Your fiancee got her Police Clearance and Medical done and sent them along with the I-134 and all the other documents requested, right? When did she receive packet 3 from the embassy and when did she send it back? Usually Packet 4 (the interview letter packet) arrives within 4 weeks from the date the beneficiary sends Packet 3 back.

The embassy in Cairo has been taking a little longer more than usual to schedule interview because of the current political circumstances in Egypt. As long as you are still in the 4-weeks-after-sending-packet3-back time frame, you should be ok. I would e-mail the consular/IV sections of the embassy (the embassy in Cairo receives K1 inquiries on the IV section e-mail), and ask if they received your fiancee's packet 3 and when she should expect an interview date.

Good luck!

You can not do anything: You must wait for emabassy to put together your packet and find a date for the interview: Depending on embassy it can be a few months to send the packet out: Just make sure they have the right address in Egypt:

They are applying for K-1, so the process you mentioned doesn't apply.
