K1 Visa Cairo AP Status now

[Ahmed&Roma 6]

My husband is on AP for 3 months now. 2 men went to my husband's home on August 22,2017 one of the men told my husband, someone would contact him by phone. Well it's Oct 12 now still no call. Is my husband allowed to call the Embassy in Cairo and ask why they didn't call him.

good luck

honestly guys, as someone who works in immigration work here int he states, it is really not looking good for Middle Eastern/Muslim men. Not to take anyone's hope away, even though countries like Egypt, Pakistan, Morocco arent on the "banned" countries, the immigration process has been made so difficult to obtain a visa that it is as if they are banned countries.

so you work in immigration here in the states? lol so do you know something we don't behind the scenes? what do you think is the difficult part besides the wait and if we are waiting so long what do you think it is for? yea, i know lots of people who fiance or fiancee are here in 6 months from other countries the only one still waiting is me because my fiance is from egypt. i heard they are very slow in cairo. i hope to hear back from the embassy by now but dont know why it is taking a little bit longer than the time frame.

no i dont work for immigration n the govt, i said immigration work in general. be realistic, with the political climate in the US right now, it is not just an issue of the US embassy in Cairo not being "organized" there is more to it than that.

I worry an insane amount about my Egyptian fiancé not being approved just because he is an Egyptian man in today's political climate.  Other than that, there is absolutely no reason he would be denied.  I think it is really a bunch of overthinking on my part when I get started on that.  If the embassy were to postpone us in any way, I certainly do not think it would be personal or mean.  I think they have people's best interest and protection at heart.  But the disappointment would be horrific.  What we are trying to do is be happy that after 28 years of being apart (due to a bunch on non immigration circumstances) we are back in one another's lives and being in separate countries can't change that.  I really wish I could be in Egypt right now or he could be here.  But when we hear from USCIS and then have an interview and get an answer from the embassy, we will make a decision.  I don't care if we live in the USA, in Egypt, or where ever.  I hope it is in the USA because I do not want to move away from my children (who live with their father).  I am trying to focus on the fact that the most wonderful person in the world is in my life.  No embassy or consulate can take that away.  Of course, this is me trying to be positive and supportive.  Your time will come soon.  I believe it.  What benefit would anyone get from keeping legitimate couples away from one another?  It just doesn't make sense.  I think there are plenty of people who try to game the system and that makes it more difficult when legitimate couples apply because consular staff have to be so much more careful to protect innocent people from being taken advantage of.  Good luck.  Insha'Allah it will happen soon for all of you.

Yes, I have no doubts even with the wait I feel it is a time for me to gather myself and prepare for the day my fiance arrives, inshallah kheer
