Hey all,

Sorry it took me so long to be back and write. Just to let you all know, I have my immigrant visa to the US approved. I arrived at the US embassy in Cairo on June 6th 30 minutes before interview scheduled time and it took about two hours of waiting inside until it was my turn. The interview went smooth and the consular office was friendly.

The questions they asked me were:

- How did you and your fiance meet?

- How long you been knowing each other?

- What does your fiance do for a living?

- What's his position in his current job?

- Did your fiance meet your parents?

The interview ended with the last question answered with "Yes" and showing some pictures of my fiance with my parents along my answer. The consular officer smiled and congratulated me saying that I will receive my passport with the visa in it within two weeks.

While you're there at the embassy, you will have to pay at the DHL for your passport to be mailed back to you with the visa in it. They have the DHL office there at the embassy. 48 L.E. were the whole fees.

Good luck to you all,

R. :)

Sounds great! Congratulations!

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.
