Questions About NVC processing times for those in Egypt

[faithful.forever 0]

Hi everyone!

I have 2 questions please for those who have cases pending in Egypt:

1) How long did it take or is it taking for NVC to complete your case from the day you sent your documents/package to them? (For those that didn't receive a checklist for additional documents, and everything went smoothly and was approved). I heard it takes 20 days for them to review your case. Does that mean that if everything is fine and they dont need anything else, they will finish your case in those 20 days?

2) How long after NVC completed your case, did your interview get scheduled/ or how long have you been waiting for an interview since NVC completed your case.

Thanks a bunch!

I'm not sure about NVC thing, but you can look at timelines and filter for the Cairo embassy and then sort by whatever column is most helpful, then scan through timelines. I do that sometimes ... like all the time.

The wait time at the Cairo embassy for an immigration/family interview is about 3.5-4 months now I think. Good luck to you.

Here's the timeline thing that I have bookmarked for K-1 visas:

You can do the same thing for your type, I'm sure.

NVC sent our case to the Embassy on April 23rd and we got the check list in the email May 8th. Hope that helps a little

I am only 3 weeks in from the NVC saying our case was complete (April 18). Sent in a request for an expedite due to my mother being in the hospital.

I did question the representative on the phone and that is 20 WORKING days, not Sunday through Saturday scheduling.

Praying for an expedite approval because I truly need the help at this point.

I hope you get your expedite, however I see almost no chance the Cairo embassy will approve it, even if NVC does. I sent in an expedite request because I was going to LOSE MY HOUSE (and significant portion of my income because it's an income property). My son was on suicide watch and my depression was so bad I could hardly get out of bed. They had no problems whatsoever in not even considering me for an expedite. Good luck to you, but I'd suggest you make alternate arrangements for extra help.
