Hello everyone, I have a question my case for cr1 has been DQ at nvc. About how long after will I get an interview? I will have the interview in Cairo Egypt. Just wondering about how long til I'll get an interview. Also are they even doing interviews? I don't know how to find all of this.

Hi all -

please forgive me in advance. 1- this is a question about someone wanting to immigrate to Canada and don t know if I m on the right site.

I have a friend who Egyptian, Egyptian passport and wants to move to Canada. He speaks fluent in Arabic, English, and French.

We saw something about Canada allowing people with a minimum of 8 years French can apply to move to Canada etc .

does anyone know where they can direct me or have more information as how one can do this ?

thank you I m advance.

Hi all.....

My forever pending I751 adjudicated during naturalization interview but without a combo interview! Read on my fresh experience

I got my interview notice for December 15 2021 (i filed 23rd october 2020 while my i751 is ready for interview since 4 March 2020 (filed August 2019)

I read everywhere about this dual situation till i found the combo interview thing in the replies even if the notice doesn't state that!

So i got ready for both interviews ,updated all i751 documents of evidence ,my husband was driving me anyway and he was ready to be called in for an interview.!

We arrived there on time , my husband waited outside the building glued to his mobile as per my request

After going through security line and checking in. The officer called my name and asked me to follow her.

In the office, we started with oath & generic questions and started with civics test (was quite easy) & the English part!(easier)!

Then she told me that my online account has zero documents of evidence and she needs to adjudicate my i751!

I told her everutjong was sent by mailand also i have all the documents of evidence, new photos,joint house deed, tax returns till 2020....etc with me now and my husband is waiting outside and can be here in a minute for an interview!

She declined seeing anything or asking my hubby to join. She asked me to upload alllll documents of evidence i have on my online account before the closing of the business day and if not she will RFE

She handed me in the form stating i passed the civics and english but no decision yet !

I went home ,uploaded everything right away and waited ....and dozed off ( seems i wanted to escape the stress )

Few hours later my case status changed to : we recommend ur n400 for approval and now its ready for quality review but nothing changed for my i751status !

I started to panic and thought it will never do cause no combo interview was conducted and hello for a new wait

But to my great surprise next morning my i751status changed to approved! Yaaay!

Now waiting for my oath ceremony notice to be mailed within 30 days .....Hopefully

The takeaway : Your pending i751 can be adjudicated same day of naturalization interview without a combo interview but still plzzzzz bring your spouse along and be ready with all documrnts of evidence . I highly bieve your readines encourages the IO to adjudicate ur case!

I am so indebted to visajourney forum since i started my CR1 journey in 2016 .

All experiences and replies help alot and give great tips and advices. So i posted my experience here to give a shoulder pat for anyone worried and searching for any tip or piece of info.

On a very different note , the new phone automated CS agent drove me crazy by not getting my request and keep terminating the call and i never got to talk to a real representative of USCIS !

Good luck to everyone. Just get well prepared or even overprepared as with USCIS more is better than not enough.

I am a US citizen living in the States since 2001. I am petitioning for my wife to join me in the States. She had her interview in Egypt and was given a yellow 221 form with a mark next to proof of domicile. I came back to Egypt in August 2020 due to the pandemic. I have my own business in the USA and have been paying both personal and business taxes consistently with the latest return submitted this year. I submitted the following additional documents after receiving the 221:
- valid US license,
- active voter registration,
- business and personal bank account statements,
- my company's registration,
- personal and business tax records for the last three years including this year

Is that enough or do I need something else?

Hi all, I got my interview scheduled next month and I have 2 trips in the beginning of the 5 years are more than 6 months ... will this affect the officer decision in my naturalization.

Also I wanted to know from when they count the 5 years ... from the submittal date or the interview date?. because I applied for naturalization back in September 2020 and got my interview scheduled for January 2022, if they are going to count the 5 years from January 2022 then I will not have any trips more than 6 month ... but if they are going to count the 5 years from Submittal date September 2020 I will have 2 trips more than 6 months.

Thanks in advance
