Egypt -AP waiting period!!

[samadi 0]

This waiting is really hard! What time frames does Egyptian AP seem to be having these days?

Interview was Nov. 6, 2012! They said wait 60 days! But at time of interview Consular, although nice and didn't ask for pics or proof and did not even see them simply have my husband a sheet checked marked AP not congrats no your approved just kept his passport and originals and said check website in a few weeks and max 60 days! But the not knowing is HARD!! Anyone else here in this part of process that can shed some light or hope!

If he had his interview November 6th then it's only been 38 days. At least they kept his passport. Just about every Arab man is going to get stuck in AP. Others have been waiting a lot longer. Inshallah you won't have to wait too much longer.

Lots of male Egyptians have AP after the interview. Here is a list for the last year of how long people on this website had to wait for their visas to be delivered.

HI Samadi......we are in the same place now.....waiting. Our interview was Nov. 18th, 2012, and we still haven't heard anything yet either. Know that you aren't alone, as there are many of us with similar timelines just waiting. Hope yours goes fast...and try to stay positive! Soon we will be with our loved ones!

[samadi 0]

Inshallah!!! I really am hoping for the best for both our cases and many many more! I was so positive then I got so many negative (the called it relistic comments on another page and said it could be years and I was a little shocked! But I guess all we can really do is wait and pray things pass soon! May your journey be short and soon you be together! :-)

Thanks for all The info posted i hope we are all among the faster processed cases! May happy new comes to us all soon!

At least the CO's in Egypt gives the timeframe for response, here in Morocco, they tell you: " We will call you" , then you will wait. it may be 4 month, it maybe 1 year.

we are in the same boat..My husband had his interview end of November ,CO was very nice with him he asked him few questions and he answered very confident,he saw some proofs and pictures and said that our relationship looks good but we have to go through AP!.. he kept my husband passport and gave him link to check our case and said it takes 1 to 2 months..so hoping that AP will go suppperrrr fast coz it's really hard to be apart

That's insane I am all for being deligent in their process but at least give a website for us to check as it goes through different channels and desk!

Give us some kind of info. :-(

I hope and pray reforms are made and that your process and all ours gets reviewed quickly and efficiently!

Hang on and have faith this will soon pass I try doing the same thing too!

I know exactly how you feel! CO didn't even look at anything he had and he had a lot to show but said no don't need!

Kind of worried my husband but he was ask you said too kind but handed the paper said check on status!

May God bring us good news before te new year! :-)

Stay positive and hopefully and with faith all will process fast!

My hubby is already saying COME but I feel we are so close I want to go and at same time think no he is coming soon lol that one day I feel I will get next plane out

And following day I fill no be patient! Emotional rollercoaster!

I am in the same boat. My husband's interview was on November 21 and he was placed in AP. From different things I have read, the average AP is 2 months. Some take less, some take more.... Just keep waiting to hear something. The CO told hubby that the paper work looks good but he needs to go through AP. They did give him back all originals and kept his passport so that makes me feel some what positive.

Cairo Embassy does have a website to check case status but I have not had luck finding our case. I did inquire with the Embassy through email and they just told me he is in AP and didn't mention not being able to find our case number.

Hang in there and with luck, hopefully we will all be with our spouses soon. Like others, I want to head over and spend a few weeks with my husband but will wait for the 60 days to see if there is any movement. If not, and politically it seems okay, I plan to go over for our anniversary in February.

[M <3 R 3]

the CO took my husband passport and return the original documents too but he didn't say Congratulations or Approved! HE just told him to keep checking the website and when you see it appproved email me ..I went to Egypt for his interview but they won't let the petitioner in!..I tried to call embassy but couldn't get hold of anyone so every once in a while I call DOS to check..

Heather if you plz can post the link that you can check the case through Cairo embassy ..

I'm hoping it won't take more then 2 months ..our anniversary is on the new year eve

Oh dear God hope all of us get the approval very soon and be with our beloved one befor we even expect

[Heather Ahmed 0]

This is the link to check on an immigration visa in AP through the Cairo Embassy.

I too have called the DOS but get little information. All they can tell me is that the case is still in AP.

Q. What originals did you get back the only original my husband go back was our marriage certificate that's all!

I am now curious what else we needed to get back?? Helps please! :-(

I am wondering if that's a bad sign that all he got was marriage certificate and nothing else!

That we know something's soon! But if after 60 days nothing and we are on day 42 today we decided I will go spend some days

With him cause this distance is not easy! We are waiting and keeping faith that God unite us soon and I pray he do the same for you all here too!
