Waiting time after DQ for the US embassy in Egypt

[Nnmm193 9]

I tried emailing several times since mid February and I just received a reply today! 

But sad to say still no updates - I got a standard reply of "your case is at NVC and interview scheduling will be based on our staffing capacity and the order in which interviews are scheduled is determined by the NVC"

 

I'm trying to know if they are operating or not and that was the response I got instead 😞

I emailed them back in November and they never responded... however they did deny my expedite request 😫  It has been a year since they closed down... and still nothing.  Sigh.

Please keep us updated and let us know if/when you are finally able to schedule an appointment.  Hoping it is soon for you and for everyone else too.

a friend of mine told me that there were some interviews at the us embassy in cairo about 15 days ago. 

i am confused, are they open for processing, or was that just emergency cases? 

if you guys have any information please let me know. 

i feel like i am isolated from the rest of the world.

the embassy website still indicates that they are not processing any kind of visa.

The Cairo Embassy has been very difficult to follow - everyone here on visajourney that had their interview was due to an expedite same as what they say on their website.

Unfortunately the ppl from Egypt arent alot so we cnt really tell if they are back to normal processing or still emergency cases only.

 

I have heard from one member here that she knows someone who had their interview (this person supposedly had their interview date prior to covid but it was canceled since) so they mentioned the interview took place without an expedite but i cannot confirm this bec i dont know this person or the details.

 

If anyone hears anythg please share it we are all desperate for information and any signs of movement.

Just came across this and thought to share as it was a very good indicator of Cairo Embassy movement.

Last month in March there has been a significant increase in the interviews and visas issued for CR1/IR1 - check them out.

that seems very good, but are these all emergency cases? if not, why are they not updating their website?
