Shhhhhhhhhh, focus on the current obsession!

You're totally right. Then it'll be the CEAC site, "HAVE THEY ISSUED THE VISA YET?"

Pretty sure I won't be able to sleep for like the 2 weeks prior to the interview. I hope we get similar interview dates so that we can freak out together.

That was the date on the email. And every time I call they said the 17th except the last couple of times.

Whooooooooo!! Congrats on this thread too! Question, since you were told both Oct-17 and Oct-20 ... was Oct-17 the date on the NVC "receipt" email? Pretty sure went by that one...

It's cominggggggggggggggggg. It's our weeeeeeeeeeeek!

[BRosa 170]

CASE COMPLETE!!! Day 53 -oct 17 scan date. No chk lists!!! Yippee!!

YEAHHH!!! Comgratulations. I can only imagine your joy. I am so happy for you and for everyone who who got CC. now, crossing fingers for those waiting and are really close.

[Soloenta 2,218]

Thank you Soloenta. Your are the best!

Your welcome my dear, your so sweet

Someone on the other thread received a CC on 12/08 with checklist scan date of 10/24 for an EB3 visa (not IR1/CR1 like us). So i guess NVC is all over the place. I don't think this is indicative that they are working on the third week yet but hopefully it all comes by end of week!

God I hope so, I'm starting to feel negative instead of positive thinking it just will never happen for me. I'll try to reverse that. Thank you so much for the information even if it may not mean anything for us.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOO CONGRATULATIONS SO VERY HAPPY FOR YOU woooooooooooo hooooooooooooo you have no idea how happy I am for you my dear. Now for a good interview date, Visa and POE all nice and smooth and painless!

Hehehee it was hell to me, what horrible temps and there wasn't even snow on the ground hahahahaa I know I'm a wuss but I had regular clothes on and no coat.

Boy I used to laugh telling my husband you have three seasons, summer, three days of winter and two days of spring. OMG how horrible it was during summer I was pretty much never comfortable and we lived on the Red Sea so it wasn't as hot as the rest of Egypt. It was windy, but my husband did say it was cold in winter in his city. I wonder what he considers cold!

Me thinks your husband is going to see the snow run out then run right back inside!

Hahaha! Both our husbands ideas of cold are probably around 75 degrees fahrenheit.

Where on the Red Sea did you live? We spent a couple of weeks on the Red Sea for our honeymoon. It was definitely a nice break from the chaos of Alexandria. So peaceful! We weren't there all that long, but the time we were there was considerably warmer than Alex. I think it was high 90's with heat index in the low 100's. If it weren't for the strong sea breeze, it would have been too warm.

My husband and I joke all the time about what his reaction would be if he ended up coming here during the winter. I told him I think he'd step off the plane, the cold air would hit his face, his eyes would water, his nostrils would freeze shut, and he'd walk right over to the ticket counter at the airport to buy a ticket to go back home. Hahaha! Of course he insists otherwise, just as he insists he will run outside in the winter. He never did say how far or how long he'd run. I suppose even if he only made it as far as you predicted, he'd claim victory. Lol!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOO CONGRATULATIONS SO VERY HAPPY FOR YOU woooooooooooo hooooooooooooo you have no idea how happy I am for you my dear. Now for a good interview date, Visa and POE all nice and smooth and painless!

Thank you so much! Can't wait to hear good news from you!

[Soloenta 2,218]

I just realized that 10/17 is the last day of the second week and then it starts with 10/20!! I....am.....tooooo....excited!!! OMG it's almost time!!! I will be so bummed if i get a checklist so I am really praying that Christ will guide my reviewer and give me a CC

it's coming you guys! We're almost done with this part of the process!!

OMG how wonderful, my God hear all our prayers and grant us the peace we need and seek. I can't even begin to imagine how it might feel to get a CC. God willing no Checklists for any of us.

Whooooooooo!! Congrats on this thread too! Question, since you were told both Oct-17 and Oct-20 ... was Oct-17 the date on the NVC "receipt" email? Pretty sure went by that one...

It's cominggggggggggggggggg. It's our weeeeeeeeeeeek!

God willing yessssssssssssssssssssssssssss let's all keep praying please let's not stop until POE

yup! the worst thing is that once we get a CC the obsession will begin with the interview date it's a never ending obsessive process!!

Problem is what will we do, if we ever finish with the whole thing? Maybe start a detox thread? Hahaaaa

@Soloenta, please tell me some good news about your case!!!

Awww thank you for visiting sweet heart what a sweet thoughtful thing to do. Nothing new yet but have 12 days to complete the 60 day penalty phase. God willing many will get CC's this and next week. Insha'Allah How are you doing?

Shhhhhhhhhh, focus on the current obsession!

You're totally right. Then it'll be the CEAC site, "HAVE THEY ISSUED THE VISA YET?"

You guys are hysterical! Hahahaa

[highyork10 23]

I am so frustrated. I got checklisted in October.. I corrected the really minor error.( didnt realize it was significant). NVC received my corrected checklist on 10/23... To be honest, I feel drained. Wife is crying everyday, I feel like I have been at the NVC for centuries.. I really hope there is a light at the end of the tunnel

[Soloenta 2,218]

I'm pretty sure Mofat (yup i know i butchered it), you, Soloenta, e&g and I will be able to freak out and obsess together! Woohoo! ha-ha

Hahahaa wouldn't that be nice for a change!

YEAHHH!!! Comgratulations. I can only imagine your joy. I am so happy for you and for everyone who who got CC. now, crossing fingers for those waiting and are really close.

Your day will come and many of us will be here to celebrate with you, just hang in there. I know how it feels to this very second. This thread was my saving grace and everyone in it who held me up when I just couldn't anymore.

We lived in Hurghada straight across to Asyuit on the Nile just to give you where to look. Yes it was the wind that made it tolerable for my husband and I was dying every day Actually winter was mild we even needed a heater some nights. Wondering where you spend your honeymoon might have beenSharm El Sheikh? It was very calm there with not many people not like Cairo. If God willing I can go so I can accompany my husband back to the USA I want to visit Alexandria I didn't get a chance last time and I pray this time I can. It's been my life long dream to visit there. My husband almost got a job there but the company went belly up.

Heck I left the next day that I arrived in Minnesota and I'm not ashamed to say it. Literally thought I was going to die. Hahahaa I agree with the running then running back in your going to have to buy him a little trophy to present to him when he runs back in.

The thing I love so much about California is I'll be able to take my husband to the snow or beach or even Mexico. Mountains about 1 1/2 to 2 hours away, beach depending on traffic 30 mins to 1 hour and Mexico about maybe 3 hours away then there is San Francisco which I love 8 hour drive and Iove driving.

"Hahaha! Both our husbands ideas of cold are probably around 75 degrees fahrenheit.", I think your being way to kind hahahaa boy nice to talk to someone that can understand those crazy Egyptians Hahahaaa. My husband would laugh so much when I told him Egyptians are crazy because they refuse to walk on the sidewalk . I had to close my eyes when I crossed the street with my husband hahaa really crazy stuff.

Thank you so much! Can't wait to hear good news from you!

Awww thank you dear heart I appreciate you kind thoughts.

I am so frustrated. I got checklisted in October.. I corrected the really minor error.( didnt realize it was significant). NVC received my corrected checklist on 10/23...

Same here but mine were mostly lies from NVC, they did ask me for my parents marriage certificate like that maters for AOS just more BS and hoops to jump through I guess. Well your in luck your very close like the rest of us God willing. Last scan date receiving CC is Oc 20, I have 22 and you 23 ed so many of us with you are God willing getting good news this or next week. Just pray and ask your wife to pray it really does work no matter your faith. God bless you and stay strong and we are here for you and your wife.

AND to the thread.
