I am asking again for prayers for the Cairo, Egypt embassy. There has been a 6 month wait from NVC till interview date and sometimes longer since December 2010. It used to be 2-3 month wait before the Revolution. Now they are still catching up on the backlog of cases since the embassy shut down for over a couple months.

Please pray for me and the others on our waiting list so that we get a timely interview to be with our spouses. 6 months is too long for me.

Thank you and God Bless all of you in your journeys.

Well it looks like your prayers have helped. I seen someone with a Case complete at NVC on August 5th get a December 15th interview date. God Bless!!

So, I think that means that Cairo will do all CC from NVC from June, July and some August for December interviews. Thank you God and everyone praying for Egypt members.

I appreciate all your prayers and good thoughts.

Thank you

Wow!

It is to my understanding that Cairo also carries out neighboring countries immigration interviews as well...is this correct?

Good Luck for everyone that is waiting...

Yeah!!! I am so happy for you Sherif23. I thought I should email and offline people because I am sure many people were not going to check for awhile. And the more notice we have till the interview then the more time to plan things.

Congrats and I wish you the best of luck!!

I was hoping I can ask if anyone went to an immigration lawyer for consultation prior to interview

Reason why I ask is that my wife and have a unique case . We got married in 2008 in CT. At the same time I still had a pending green card to remove conditions from a prior marriage

Then I lost my job in the US and came to Egypt when a great opportunity presented itself. My wife owns a tax business so she travels back and forth between US and Egypt specially since the birth of our daughter. Old case was closed and my wife filed the current one

Just not sure what to expect at all come the December interview
