How long before the consulate contacts my fiance

[inlovebutstressed 1]

Hi all I was just wondering my fiance has a new cell number and I tried to call the consulate to give it to them as I dont know how long it will be before they try to contact him. They have had my petition for about a week and a half should I be worried they tried to contact him at his old phone number. I sent an email with this information will it be okay?

He probably won't be contacted by the embassy, it takes 1-2 weeks for them to put it in their system. My husband wasn't contacted by the Embassy. They sent out his package 3 by DHL. My husband called his local DHL office each day to ask if they had a package for him, after calling each day DHL ask for his phone number so they could contact him when they were going to deliver it, DHL did call him to make sure they had the right address when they received it and he paid 67 pounds to take it from them. Have him call DHL to see if they have a package for him. Good Luck

To Add: Back when we did it it took 4 days to receive, but now things are alittle slower.It might be sitting at the DHL office. If they can't find your fiance's address they will return PK3 to the Cairo Embassy, make sure he checks with DHL soon.

Wow!!! He had to pay an additional fee to DHL cuz he picked up from them in-person? Whats the fee paid during the interview used for then? for the embassy to send out the passport + docs after visa is issued? I hope I can get my hubby to keep calling his local DHL as well and ask them if he can pick up the package when its ready. He sent in his passport to the embassy earlier today.

Yes, In Egypt they rip you off everytime you receive any mail of any type.

People pay again to send the package 3 back to the Embassy and again at the interview to have them send your passport w/ the Visa in it.

My husband paid 67 pounds each time. DHL did have the OP's package 3 and her fiance picked it up from them this morning. They're moving forward

The best of luck to you! I hope your husband will receive his visa soon

Thanks for the info... Hopefully it'll be very soon for us. I pray it does anyway. I'll have my hubby call in a few dys to see if there's any action.
