My fiance had his 4th visit to the embassy on 11/4/07. They asked him a whole bunch of questions and they were really tough on him. My fiance was a bit nervous and made some mistakes with the questions. In anycase they told him he would recieve his visa in 6 days and the consular officer said for him to call them from the states in 2008. So does that mean he is approved? What is wrong with them? Why don't they just say "You are approved"

Sounds like he passed his interview so that's really great news!! I am sorry they gave him such a hard time but at least he passed. As far as recieving in 6 days!! I don't know about that one that sounds like your usual Cairo far fetched story, but you never know he might get it in 6 days i sure hope so. I wish you all the best and a speedy A/P so he can be reunited with you soon (F)

Did they say why they wanted to do a second interview? Who did the interview the first time? That's really strange that they would tell you he'd get it in 6 days. Kind of a random number you know? Especially since 6 days from the interview is Sat and they're closed then right?

Actually, they are not closed on Saturday, they just don't take phone calls. The Department of State gave me this guys e-mail. I can get it for you. The DOS is very helpful if you call them.

Really they have always been very helpful for me everytime. I don't know. I haven't seen my fiance for 1 year and 3 months. I am tired of waiting for this stuff. I can't believe they have no consideration for people. Hopefully when they say six days it is for real. I mean they told him "You will recieve it in 6 days" I guess that means they are mailing it...

Does anyone know where that thread is where the person listed all possible contact numbers/emails? The email that I got back says to contact Deputy CG/Visa Chief David Potter but it doesn't state his contact information.

btw in the email that i did send I mentioned how the interviewer asked about intimate details of our sex life. Hopefully something will be done about that but who knows. That still gnaws at me when I think about it.
