Anyone else currently stuck in limbo with administrative processing with Cairo? If so, how long? Our interview was 12/12/22 and been in AP since. Have watched many others get their visas approved in the meantime. Anytime we email for an update, we receive the same generic response. CR1 visa. Frustrating.

AP can last from hours, to days, to months..... All you can do is wait it out.

No matter if Cairo, normally MENA applicants are put into AP

Guys is there any update ?

Unfortunately not. Our lawyer is filing the Writ of Mandamus next week. So hopefully we will have an answer by August one way or another.

Isn't it a bit early for a Writ of Mandamus?

A/P can take a while,  even if others have received their visas from Cairo, each case if different like a fingerprint.

 

I know first hand how the Embassy is in Cairo,  completely unorganized.  Been there, saw it, done it.

According to our lawyer, no, it is not too soon. It is recommended to wait 18 months from the date of filing which we have.
