Hi everyone! I was very excited to find out recently that my husband's waiver application was approved. We filed DCF through Cairo, waiver application was sent to Athens, waiver was transferred to Rome 8 months later, and finally approved after a total of 15 months! Now, we are waiting to hear from Cairo...

Anyone had experience with this from Cairo? Just wondering what the next steps after waiver approval would be, especially one that took over a year?

Waiting for an email response from Cairo for a week now... you know how it is, the closer something gets, the further it seems...

Good luck to any and all still waiting on those waivers and best wishes to all recently reunited!!!

Thanks,

Hopeful

Summer 2003- We met (in the U.S.) and began dating.

Summer 2004- My SO moved back to Egypt; I spent a month there with him.

December 2004- SO called my parents and got permission to ask for my hand in marriage; They said yes, of course!

Christmas 2004- I traveled back to Egypt and accepted his proposal while we were on the sands by the Red Sea...

July 2005- Got married; I moved to Egypt

Nov. 2005- Began the immigration process!!!

July 2006- Hubby's immigrant "interview" at embassy in Cairo was no interview- told to file waiver for past visa overstay

Aug. 2006- Waiver sent from Cairo to Athens

April 2007- Waiver transferred from Athens to Rome

August 2007 - I moved back to U.S. from Egypt in anticipation of waiver approval (just had a feeling!!) and to continue my career because my 2 year work contract had expired in Cairo and my wondeful job was still here waiting.

Nov. 2007- Waiver approved... thank the good Lord!!!!

Dec. 2007- Interview- but not really an interview- just had to sign the updated DS230; Told to expect visa in 2 weeks.

Jan. 2008 - Visa in hand! It actually did arrive in 2 and a half weeks... Hubby back in our home 2 days later!!!

Feb. 2008- Green Card arrives

Today and everyday- Loving life back in our home, having a blast, enjoying every moment with family and friends, praying for all of you still waiting! Miracles DO happen!!!

hi

they approved my waivers after 10 monthes and then it took one month to be received from greece at that time by pouch mail, then they asked me to repeat the applicaiton and the medica report again along with the police clearance

then they made a mistake by asking for finger print which i already done then sent my documents to washington dc for 18 monthes to be name checked and the after that name check is cleared they realized that they forogt peition in greece so they postopned my visa for 5 weeks till they receive the petition from greece then they made a mistake putting my old pasport number instead of the new one on the body of hte visa then i returned back and all of sudden they said that they need more administrative procesing. of course they made mistakes with the packet which is sent with the visa which includes all the needed documents.

any how after i was happy to receive my visa and made arrangements i will wait again.

God be with me. I mean with us

Yikes... sorry for your misfortune. Fortunately, after my husband re-did his medical and police report and resubmitted them to Cairo, it only took about another month to get the visa.

Best wishes to you. :)
