AR stillllllllllllllll?????

Certainly . . . just get them out the door quickly before you have to tell them "it might be SIX MONTHS!!!". I do understand their thinking about this. It does appear that now they give a more realistic time since I think Aymerlu might have been told 4-6 weeks? I thought I saw a couple of people that the embassy told them a longer time to wait . . . . but it still means you have to get over the big disappointment when that time period is passed too (if you are unlucky enought to fall into the AR blackhole). I think 6 weeks has been a closer estimate of the time for people to wait for Egypt and it appears to be a bit longer for the ones with the shorter waits. Not sure that makes sense, but does anything about this make sense??? There are several countries in that region and they all have different problems and waiting times.

So true. They would probably rather not have you argue with them in person so they give you a kinder estimate. We were told 15-20 days for AR (and the DOS person told me that was "pretty generous") and it actually took 60 days.

It is unfortunate that you have false hope when they know it will take longer.
