Waiting time after DQ for the US embassy in Egypt

[Exanuage 7]

Hi! Our CR-1 application got documentary qualified on Sept. 24th. We are wondering how long does it usually take until we get our interview email or date in Egypt?

If anyone went through this recently can you please tell me how long you waited for the interview after you got DQ?

 

Thanks.

Thanks.

currently Egypt is about 5-7 months backlogged.

 

you can expect it to be at least that long to get an interview, those from May are still waiting, some even as far back as March.

 

Good luck in your journey.

I thought there were no backlogs on immigration visas for spouses as there are no caps on them...... I was DQ on November 6... I hope I don't have to wait 5 months......

sadly, even spouse visa get backlogged due to how busy some embassy can get.

 

Those who were DQ in May are not getting interview letters for Egypt.

 

Mexico is backlogged almost 1 year even for spouse visa.

 

Embassy are just getting overloaded with not enough spots to put everyone, they only open so many spouse visa slots, K1 spots and visit visa slots.

 

so if you just got DQ in November you can expect sometimes Jan-Feb even March of 2020 to get your interview letter.

sorry can expect a visa interview for spouse in Egypt for DQ in November to be sometime start of 2020 likely Feb or March, if you are lucky you might get one in Jan and that is just for the letter.

 

If you get IL in Jan interview will be the following month. Make sure you join your spouse at interview, it seems those who do not go with the spouse will end up in some form of AP, I didn't get with my husband and he got handed an AP letter, no reason just straight into AP.

Egypt and middle Eastern countries are basically automatic AP . Even the women beneficiary's are being put in AP

So, does it really help if my spouse join me at the interview? If so, are there any steps I should take for her to attend with me? Or does she just show up with me on the day of the interview?

[Beth & Achraf 328]

No, spouse with you at interview does not help with AP.    

She should attend interview if she is allowed inside at time of interview.   If she is not allowed entry into embassy for your interview,  I would mention that she is there now visiting you in Egypt, but was not allowed to join you .

She won't be here at the time of the interview. I'm just asking if it's worth it if she'd actually come.
