Cairo K1 visa interview expected timeframe

[DH1990 0]

Hi vj family,

I received packet 3 from the embassy on July 15, 2015. However, I had to travel so I sent them the required documents on September 14,2015. I have sent everything required other than the medical

I sent an email to the embassy inquiring about the expected timeframe for the interview, they sent me this reply:

We received the documents but we are scheduling on the basis of first come first serve basis, according to the preparing of the documents, and we are now scheduling people prepared their documents beginning of April.

Regards,

Consular Staff

I don't know if this is true or not. I dont think its possible for them to take 7 months to schedule an interview .

So my question is : Does anyone have a recent similar experience? If so how long on average did you have to wait from the time you sent them packet 3.

Thanks everyone, I really wish all of you the best of luck.

While I don't have a similar experience, I do remember reading on the September and October interview thread that some people from Cairo had been waiting over 100+ days just for nvc to schedule an interview date. That was for CR1/IR1. I'm not sure if it's the same for k-1, but there definitely seems to be a major backlog at the embassy in Cairo. But, if it's any hope, I do believe that shortly after that people started receiving their interview dates.

when you translate the criminal record , they will clip it to the translation and you will put both in the file.

and the forms that your fiance sent will be out in the file directly ,not copies.

a copy of birth certificate and its translation will be also put in the file,

did you receive the email from the embassy ? it explains this all

Actually I asked the embassy by email if they need the documents translated, they said no, just the original police record.

Yes I did, just got a reply today, they said when we check your documents we will schedule an appointment!! a very generic response as you can see:)

i agree, seems like they changed the generic response, because it was weeks before that now they are working on scheduling April, i truly pray we have our interview sooner than we expect

if you can mahmoud fill your timeline so we can know about your dates, and even other people after us to have better idea about the whole process
