LOL Jamie I remember the flying back and forth, it is expensive

hehe!

Lizzie thanks for the link......... ah more possibilities LOL

I suppose with all the things we have to do, file, fill out, police checks, ring, don't ring, email, don't email, pay, don't pay yet, tier one, tier two, tier 89, get ready but don't be ready, oh my........ .

can't say have any obsession over any of it other than... it would be nice to have a "consistent general idea" of how it will play out ha LOL, I suppose to if we miss a detail it can mean more delay etc...

5 months, 3 months, 18 months uscis

1 week, 3 weeks, 7 weeks nvc etc.......

it's like going to the airport and going through security, pat down, no pat down, shoes off, shoes on, coat on, not coat allowed, every airport different, every security check different

to think my grandmother just got on a boat and sailed off for America, would sure like to chat with her about this if she were still with us

You crack me up!!

Please be patient. My fiance sent his papers to the Cairo embassy at the beginning of February and the current wait time was five months. (Meaning they were scheduling interviews for cases that had returned the Packet 3 five months before.) That would have put our interview in the middle of Ramadan in July. We were thrilled that it was the end of May instead. Cairo is working hard to catch up and make the wait time shorter, but I doubt the wait time has gone from 3.5 months to ONE month somehow in the last month. You're likely looking at August for your interview unless the embassy continues to work hard to reduce the case load. For your sake, I hope that's true! But it's really best to plan for the worst and live your life... I hate to say that because I know you're in HELL right now with the waiting! Trust me, the wait after he receives his interview date but before the interview will be the hardest days/weeks of your life if you're anything like us!

Also, from my experience, they seem to schedule a whole month at a time. For example, they'll schedule all of July's appointments the last week or so of June. So if you don't hear anything by July 1st, that means you're likely not on the calendar until August at the earliest. That's what I noticed from the VJ timelines. People were only receiving their "packet 4" letters the last week or so of every month and then nothing new until the last week of the next month. Does that make sense? My fiance received his interview letter April 22nd and his interview was May 29th. Hands down the worst five weeks of my life! Please PM me if you want to know any more of my OCD ramblings about the Cairo embassy. I was absolutely going crazy!

I know lol I will still obsess until I see the interview date hehe!

I know how it used to be since all of my grandparents also came that way 100 years ago. One line at Ellis Island for your medical. You pass it, next line is fill out papers. Or maybe the other way around. Then you get a ferry ride to Battery Park, and you are in. Same day you arrive.

Fast forward to 2014. Now we have this monster to deal with. You never know when CEAC is going to update. They think they are in the CIA and will tell you nothing in advance. Be that as it may, checking it once per day is sufficient, at about the same time. This way if there is a change, the information is at most one day old.

I am at CEAC. post interview waiting on a visa. Same thing, check it once per day at the same time each day.. It is really all you can do right now.
