Who did your husband have as the consular officer at the interview?

If it was a young, kind, African American woman with hijab.........then you really might be hearing something within the two weeks.......maybe even sooner.

Also, for those of you who have been & are waiting forever in AP in Cairo for a K3 visa.......if your I130 is not expired and you can somehow get it forwarded to the NVC and pursue a CR1/IR1 visa........go for it.

I thought long & hard before filing an I824 to have the I130 forwarded to the NVC to pursue a CR1 visa alongside the K3.......but, in retrospect, I am really glad I did because my husband got the CR1 visa 7 days after his interview........meanwhile, the K3 is still in AP.........since May. At the interview he was told he'd get it within 2 weeks.

I honestly feel that there is a complete lack of communication between Cairo's immigrant & nonimmigrant visa units. I also honestly feel that who you get as your CO at your interview has a lot to do with how long you'll wait for a visa.

Good luck to everyone still waiting. This process is very frustrating.

I think its too early to know

I think so too. I'm not going to stress it yet, but I'm also not going to be calling DOS again anytime soon

thanks for the response though
