Ok giggle all ya want, I seriously had no clue. :P

So you really think Cairo is easier than Casa? 'cause I'm noticing a LOT of Egyptians whose time is on average about a year from start to finish and I didn't think it took that long for the Casa peeps.

02/21/07 - I-129 NOA1

I don't think it has to do so much with wait time as it does with treatment and scrutiny. Cairo does tend to take a LONG time. They do thorough security checks on Egy men. Some men get their visas after a month or so of checks and some stay 6 mos. +. Seems there's no rhyme or reason.

Cairo may take longer but eventually near everyone gets approved.

Casa returns a fair amount of cases back to the USCIS.
