Fouad,

I did the same thing with Amman.

FYI - after I got my NOA2 in the mail I sent an email to the Cairo embassy asking for them to create a provisional file for my fiance. I got a really pleasant response back thanking me for contacting them and that they would send out the Packet 3 within the next 24 hours. My fiance got the Packet 3 within approximately 3 days. So my advice...email then asking for the same thing, make sure that you include your UCIS case number and your fiance's full address.

my 2 cents...

Thanks Fouad,

I sent them an email this morning and got a reply. I then emailed again his phone number and address and it was sent out!!!!!!

What's a provisional file?

What's a provisional file?

Doodle, I didn't ask for a provisional file and had never heard of it . I had simply been emailing the embassy on my own. Anyway, I just emailed them this morning to get an update and was told after emailing them his complete address and phone number that it was being sent out today.

A provisional file is basically asking them to open a folder, based on the fact the NVC is sending the hard copy of the case, and only if you have the Case number from NVC. Sometimes they will send a packet and assign an interview date with just the Case number. For me by the time I emailed them a day later I had the case number.

Most consulates will not open a provisional file.

I think that it helps to have the NVC case number but in my case I did not have the case number. However when they responded they said yes we will send out the Packet 3 to your fiance and by the way here is your case number and next time you email us please put it in your subject line!
