1st Interview coming up, in Egypt! Please Help!

[princesslooneytoons 0]

Ok...since little off the subject (we had our interview in July already) but since this is a thread for people going through the Egyptian Embassy I thought I would throw it out there.....We were approved in March for our I129, Interviewed in July and put into the AP process for which we were cleared on Oct 5. We are only now waiting on the embassy to do the final review and (hopefully!) send us the visa....my question is, the Department of State said that the AP Clearance is only good until the VISA is issued or someone with my husbands name does something to cause a red flag to come up dumping our case right back into the whole 3 month long AP process yet again.

Has this happpened to any of you?? I think I will officially lose my mind if this does, i swore I wouldnt spend another holiday without my husband.

Does anyone have any ideas on how long the Cairo office typically takes after the clearance is given to send the visa???

Thanks!

My fiance's interview was the end of March. We are still waiting. I spoke with a woman at the Department of State last week and she told me that it is quite common for the security checks to take 6 months to complete. It appears we may (fingers crossed) be at the end of this finally.

I wish you all the best, but I know there are a few others here who have had the same timeline with Cairo. They are thorough and slow.

I think your best bet to spare your sanity is to not set your sights on a specific time you expect him to be here. Just let things play out. I know that's easier said then done.

Very Easier sad than done.

The Department of State said our security checks were done already, on the 5th of October to be specific....she made it sound like from that point on it was just a matter of the consulate officer reviewing everything and making the final decision? Surely reviewing information that has already been gathered and reviewed atleast once already wont take another 3 months?
