September 15, 2011 question and answer session at Egyptian Chamber of Commerce

Q: Can anything be done about the long visa process?

A: I assume they’re talking about the wait? We’ve actually made a number of improvements with this in recent months. When I got here, I was surprised, and we’ve gotten rid of a lot of the constraints on the visa process. Those of you in the business community in the AmCham have a business visa program that is the best I’ve ever seen in the world. It’s very successful in terms of our consulate because we don’t get bad visa cases. We’re doing everything we can to shorten the waiting time. Right now this particular consulate has a long waiting time because essentially it was closed during the revolution. As we work through the backlog of our cases, that should improve pretty dramatically over the next few months. As you know, for business and student visas there is essentially no waiting period.
