Just a quick question. Our case was approved for an expedite through the NVC stage. Our paperwork was sent June 13th and received June 16th. When shall we expect to receive a notice from the US Embassy in Cairo, Egypt? Will it be electronic (email) or via snail mail? And expedited cases vary in appointment times correct? Could be as little as 3 weeks or a few months correct, even for an expedite?

Thank you in advance!

Just received the following email:

"Please note that our post has not yet received the case in our post, whenever it is received we will be scheduling the case for an interview.

Regards,

Consular Section

U.S. Embassy, Cairo"

Though DHL shows otherwise. Anyone have any suggestions?

Embassies have several mail rooms so even if the package arrived there, it takes a while to process them and get them to the right department

Depends on the volume of mail they sort through. Try calling after a week

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").
