I just noticed that Rahma had only 5 weeks of AR coming out of Egypt!!! Is that some kind of record or what?? I can't remember anyone else out of Egypt having that short of a time.

I know...I always keep that in the back of my mind. Her husband's name is not a common one and I don't think mine is either so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. :whistle:

ya falaha! · May 27, 2007

If you look at the timelines around the time Rahma's husband got his visa you will see that normal wait time for Egypt was 5-10 wks AR/AP. Jump ahead to Oct.-Nov. of 2005 and you will see that the wait times jumped to 3 mo. +. I believe this is because of two reasons. Number one, mass exodus of Egyptian men leaving for America (via internet brides). Number two, number of DV visas increasing. Sure you have some delays due to security checks and name hits; however, name hits alone do not equal increased AP/AR times. I will use myself and the VJ members whose husbands/fiances got their visas within days of mine. My husband's name is prolly the number one most common (first) name among Egyptians. These other members' husbands had interviews at least 2 weeks before mine. Their husbands names are less common than mine. If you look at total AP time between us...my husband had the least (by only a week or two, but still). It's not because of a name hit, it's because of processing after security checks were complete. If you're talking security checks....all of our husbands finished security checks within a similar amount of time (within a week or so). There's no secret formula for getting the visa fast. The fact that so and so's husband loves her more, so and so's husband is more religious, so and so's husband is older/younger than her, etc. doesn't make a difference. You guys can go with any theory you like but the fact of the matter is.....AP/AR wait times are increased now for some reason and there's really no way around it.

Sorry to burst anyone's bubble.

I know what you're saying but then how do you explain Omar And Sandra? I don't think they're on this specific list but if you do a advanced search of K3's going through Egypt, he had the interview early April '07 and they got the visa in hand mid May '07.

sarah and hicham · May 27, 2007

I know I say this all the time but I really do think that everyone will stay much more sane if we don't compare ourselves to others. That way if you don't get the visa as soon as others the world won't come to an end and if you get it ahead of others then that's great. We don't know how the Consulates work exactly and it's so hard to speculate because it can be upsetting if our expectations are not met. Good luck guys!

Angel7422 · May 27, 2007

I'm not on your list.
I feel so left out.

Jackie

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Jackie it's not like that !!!!!! This list is from the Cheerleading thread -- Twila created it in '05, long after you were finished and done. She started with the cases that were still cookin' at the consulates at that time.

But I'm putting you at the top of the list, since you are the ME/NA pioneer and trail-blazer.... K-3, right ?

(Just for what it's worth, I always secretly wanted to be on the "Reunions" list but never managed to make it.)

And anyone else who isn't on the list and would like to be.... just holla ! I would love it to be 100 % inclusive of all ME/NA visa victories !

PalestineMyHeart · May 30, 2007

4 months... 5 months... 6 months... 9 months... 11 months!!!!!!!!!!!!! COme EgYPT !!!!!!!

( this is a excellent list.. thank you for your effort WOM.. Just freakin out alil )

Awww hang in there, girl. I know the waiting is driving you crazy -- you wait and wait and wait to get through USCIS and NVC and the consulate and finally to the interview, and then suddenly you're in limbo -- you have no "date" to count down to. But the hardest part is over, insha'allah -- wishing you a speedy AR and visa in hand very soon.

COULD I ASK IF YOU KNOW????? What is the percentage of K-1's that get approved versus turned down? Thanks!!

I really don't know for sure. I remember reading one report that estimated that one half of K-1s end up denied for one reason or another -- or the petition is abandoned -- but I can't find the source.

I just noticed that Rahma had only 5 weeks of AR coming out of Egypt!!! Is that some kind of record or what?? I can't remember anyone else out of Egypt having that short of a time.

Well.... both very short and very long ARs continue to occur. (Of course we seem to see more of the longer ones, or at least we notice them a lot more.) I think there are definitely trends to consider as far as which consulate you're dealing with, and how long other cases seem to be taking in the months preceding your interview. It gives you a "ballpark figure" on what you might expect. But this is only a guess-timate -- no two cases are exactly alike. Best to brace yourselves for a longer wait -- if it turns out shorter, hey you can be pleasantly surprised !

What about me? I feel left out My husband is from egypt and he received his CR-1 visa on July 4, 2005.

Angel of course we have to have you on the list !!! I'd like to fill in some details, if you don't mind -- when was your interview date, and how long was your AR (if any) ?

Anyone else have an update or info, please post it !

hey i see im on the list now! wom rocks! sometimes i feel like the redheaded stepchild of MENA - when I joined there were 3 of us with Egyptian SO's and I was the only one who got to go through Montreal.

Awwww you're still our little redheaded stepchild :luv: But yes the list is growing and growing -- lots of ME/NA success to inspire and comfort the ones still waiting.

No matter what hardships you may face in your visa journey, remember that others have gone through the same thing or even worse, and eventually come out on the other side with a Visa Victory !

Our newest graduate to walk across the stage -- a1angied, with VISA IN HAND !!! :dance: :dance: :dance: Congratulations on your success -- have a wonderful reunion !!!

Also adding one of our vets -- Elizabeth&Hisham, who interviewed wayyyy back in 2005.

Doodle -- what is Omar and Sandra's VJ name ? I searched but could not find -- I would like to add them to the list as well.

Anyone else have an update or info, please post it !
