Money talks....if they only let us have medicals in one place = monopolised market = charge what you like!

Does anyone know WHAT AP is BEFORE sending the K1 from NVC to the embassy? Why am I in it for over a week now? Another with similar issues (age gap/divorce/ Cairo) was sent out within ONE DAY. While mine is still sitting at NVC...After such a long wait in Vermont...Im so discouraged.....Any ideas what may be going on?

Usually NVC would send out to the Embassy within a week. I'm not sure what's the hold up. Did you try calling NVC and to see if they had mailed it?

Yes, they just say Im in Administrative Processing...but its JSUT been a week... but what i dont understand is WHAT IS IT?? WHY am I in this?? When someone else approved after us...has come and gone out of NVC to the same embassy with similar situation???

Weedebz did, but she's from Scotland, not Cairo, so I have no idea if that would help you at all. You could try PMing her to see if she can give you any info. All I know is hers went really fast.

If they say that then I assume they're doing some kind of background check. It shouldn't be too long.

Hi everyone, I just scheduled my interview date on 3 January! OMG I can't wait! Only 3 weeks left! Good luck guys!

The other one is what was discussed elsewhere earlier...why do the only accept it from 1 dr in the whole of the UK. And why do edinburgh not deal with visas.

If there is a Consulate in Edinburgh then it makes no sense that you have to go through London, does it? Well take it the possitive way You will have an adventure They made me go to Prague 3x (once for medical and 2x to the Embassy) But I enjoyed it Especially cuz it´s Xmas time so it´s even more special and especially cuz it lead us to an approval

[Ovaltine Jenkins 5]

Yes I told her I would pray for them and it went out of NVC within 2 hours...so I do the same for you Armsnowangel

I tend to think the background check for you guys is just a bit more in depth. Perhaps Amr's name is just too similar to someone on a watchlist or something. I know it seems unfair, and I know you've endured so much stress, but it is most likely because of your unique situation. I think every situation is unique. Unfortunately Egypt is one of those countries that the U.S. will scrutinize a bit more. And it's really no secret why. I personally believe that the government is just doing deeper checks on Amr. I'm sure that deep down inside you kinda expected this...no? I would. I know I wouldn't like it one bit. I'm sorry you have to go through this. You've been pretty strong so far, so keep your chin up. You'll make it. Sorry for my honesty, I just think being real is better than nervously cheery. hang in there Faith.

Scott and Marta,

Thanks a lot! And I see that you already got your visa! Congrats! And I will be getting all my stuff ready next week because I have to wait for the doctor to sign on my medical report lol. Things move fast now!

Well, we have admisitrative processing AFTER the interview....I was under the impression this wasnt that. Amrs first name is common, but his last certainly is NOT common. Yeah...I know with Egypt there are alot of VALID reasons...but still...NVC told me that these are expedited since they are technically not immigrant visas but temporary visas...and that its just putting information into the system....yeah..right. I dont understand this system...I dont mind being cheery...and realize this is reality...but they are really crushing us here. I know the "rules" with the name issues...but that is done after the interview....even according to NVC....so what IS the hold up?

[StillThePrettiest 3]

They made me go to Prague 3x

I can think of nothing better than being MADE to go to Prague, however many times

it must be so beautiful there right now...

Yep...I got pulled up in AP at NVC. Wasn't expecting that. Neither was I expecting to call back 2 hrs later to ask why and got laughed at for having what the guy told me was the fastest AP case he'd ever seen. It went in to AP on friday afternoon and was out by Monday morning. It's basic security clearances. Shouldn't take too long but the wee woman did tell me when I first called that sometimes it can take 1-2 weeks but if there is a glitch anywhere it can take a couple of months or longer. So as long as the 2 of you haven't done anything naughty you'll be fine.

mabuhay!

I am so thankful and blessed that my medical exam was APPROVED! :dance:

First of all, thanks to our Lord Jesus Christ, Papa God and Mama Mary.

Secondly, thanks to all the prayers from my family, friends, VJ and WOF Families. Such an answered prayer.

Lastly, thanks to sis mylene from WOF for being with me for the two-day medical (her interview date is on Jan 4) and the SLEC people for being so nice to me.

THANKS A LOT...

I'm gonna post my mainit-init / fresh from the oven (hehe) medical experience here asap.

GOD BLESS US ALL and always pray, use your charm and smiles!
