Nobody said "it seems like some people never learn."

You asked, you received several answers.

Just because you don't like the answers, or because they don't comply with your personal timeline, doesn't make them any less relevant.

"Nobody" !!! did you read the post I quoted with my answer? maybe you need to read carefully before you answer, "it seems some people never learn" is an offend for me it makes anybody seems like stupid and I never felt that at any answer before, and yes I ask and get answers that's why we are all have accounts here to get answers from people who have experience or can help, and again it's not because I didn't like the answer but you can say the same thing in more nice way, and my timeline is not set yet but there is "better" and there is "best" every body seeks the best, ONLY if he can get it....so please keep talking in the topic that's more helpful

Are you near all the protestors? I hope you are not and I hope you are safe and I pray for no AP and that you come home in time for that pharmacy test!!!

[together4evr 360]

Thanks for updating your timeline.

Can you please put in the approximate date you got the NOA2? This will help alot in the VJ estimates of timelines that others may follow.

Thanks

Don't you think the visa process is stressful enough without those huge chips on your shoulder (and you've got more than one) making it worse than it needs to be?

One more time:

Every intending immigrant is put through AP. All of them.

It doesn't matter where they're from or their religion. How long AP will take depends on a few things. Intending immigrants from first world countries with computerized records tend to go through it without notice.

Intending immigrants from developing countries, with stacks of records in dusty storage rooms (unless they've been burnt in a protest or during a revolution) take longer to investigate, so the AP process takes longer. Let's say the intending immigrant is from Egypt, for example, and his name is Mohamed. Well, because of his name alone, he's already in a pot with a slew of other Mohameds and the chances of a name matching his increases.

Ahmed? Same thing.

George? Not so much, just because, in the numbers game, there are fewer of them.

How long will AP take? It takes as long as the civil servant from the immigrant's country, employed by the US embassy, takes to investigate the name match, and no less.

The quickest I've ever seen anyone make it through Cairo, from interview to visa in hand was three weeks.

You may want to have your husband reschedule that test.

Don't you think that every one can say what he wants to say in both ways harsh and nice, why do you have to choose the harsh way with people that you don't know and maybe that's the last time you're talking to them, that is strange and again people here started me to say "seems some people never learn" and the other one saying " nobody said it" like she didn't know what was my answer directed for and here you're saying I'm something about me being sensitive, work your mind and you'll find it wasn't nice from them to say that in the first place, again please let's concentrate on the topic cuz the last thing I need is someone trying to make it personal or leading us out of the spot, thank you for you answer though, and my husband already has another chance to take the test but it's wrong at all to try to figure out if you can avoid it.

It's best not to make any firm plans prior to the visa in hand.

thank you for your answer, my plans is very flexible though. I was just trying to get help about if I can avoid AP by any way but it seems like there's no way, you have it if you have it and you don't if you don't

That's pretty much the case. On the VJ timeline option it can give you samples of others going through the CR-/IR-1 application process at the US Embassy in Cairo. You'll see people are getting their visas in hand anywhere from 1-2 weeks up to an average of 5-6 months. I'm really surprised at how efficient they've become with the 1-2 weeks AP/AR turn around. It used to be that 1-2 weeks was unheard of but if you look at the timeline function you'll see that many are getting their visas in that time. In the past the average has been 5-6 months of AP/AR for this Embassy with some cases waiting years. Hopefully this will not be your case.

Hmm I see how what I said before sounded mean. I actually didn't mean to direct it at you, but I am sorry for insulting you. I intended to say that there are people who plan out their entire weddings in the US before even sending in the fiance petition. They are the ones who never learn. But that sentence didn't make it into my post . Anyway pharmacy school test can be taken several times a year. I have a friend in pharmacy school now so I know.

At least Egypt gets their AP's out of the way faster comparing to other Embassies. In Pakistan and Yemen people can wait years just on AP. I know they are doing what they feel they need to for national security purposes but I really wish they were more efficient and didn't keep us hanging in limbo forever.
