Packet 3 from Cairo Embassy

[db2016 100]

Hi All, 

 

The Embassy in Cairo received our visa application over a week ago but we have not heard anything from them. Any recommendations on what to do? Is it ok to call and email them for instructions? I read others hadn't heard for months?

 

Thanks!

No harm trying to e-mail them. At most they can do is to tell you to wait. I was supposed to wait for my embassy to contact me but I e-mailed them and ended up getting my Packet 3 immediately for me to proceed with my application.

 

A little initiative might just work in your favour. However, if they tell you to wait, don't be discouraged because every embassy is different and so is their workload. They might need to pre-review the approved petition before contacting the you.

 

All the best!!

Thanks! My fiance went ahead and sent them an email. Will try calling on Sunday when they open for the week.

That's great I hope it works out. It's usually easier to get a response via email than calling them. Keep us posted!
