My case closed on july 20. Does anyone know how much longer i should expect to wait for an interview date for the embassy in cairo?

I know that there is a backlog but i do not know how bad it is.

Unfortunately, the backlog at Cairo is severe. Think it's about 6 months from case complete to interview date. You've still got quite a few months ahead of you unfortunately. I suggest you look at this thread: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/315664-nvc-cairo-embassy-ir-1cr-1/

Well, Ive looked at the interviews for Oct and their cases closed in April. I hope they will clear up some of the backlog but at this rate you might not have the interview for a few more months. I pray this will not be the case and you will get good news soon. Sorry, I know this is not the kind of news anyone wants to hear when they are waiting for interviews.....best of luck.

I hope the embassy is done doing the DV lottery interviews for a few months so Egypt can get interviews in 3 months again. This waiting 6 months is torture.
