Consulate Review: Egypt Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : January 20, 2012 Embassy Review : This is his interview experience..... Approved with 14 weeks of washington AP Husband was at embassy at 7am in a suit and tie. So handsome! and there were 100 people in a line waiting. My daughter and I were with him but they said there is a new rule of no american petitioners allowed inside the embassy and the beneficiary has to go alone. We walked back to the SHepheard Hotel and waited 4 hours and 45 mihnutes for his return. He went into embassy at 735am He was number 628. He waited 2 hours to be called to egyptian lady speaking arabic. His papers were in a yellow folder and a yellow sheet of paper was on top She asked one question. How long you been married. He went and paid DHL He waited another 2 hours CO was a american woman light brown hair with glasses She asked many questions. Were you married before? Was she married before? How did you know you loved her? What is the evolution of your relationship? Did you ever travel to usa or anywhere before. Does she have kids Did you meet her kids Did she meet your family Did you have a wedding party-asked 3 times DId your dad buy her any gifts-asked about 2-3 times SHow me your favorite picture of her with family-he showed us with his parents in a thick photo album. When did you first meet How long did she stay on her first visit? Did she come to egypt to meet you only or visit egypt and you How many visits did she make When was the last visit? She then said Congratulations on your visa and she handed him a Full length white sheet of paper with nvc number and embassy website He said Am I in AP? She said What? He said Am I in AP? She said what is AP? He said administrative processing She said yes He said in Washington or here at the embassy? She said in Washington and you can track it with this number in 14 weeks. She kept his passport and never offered for him to take it with him. His full white sheet of paper did not say 221G. It spoke of AR and never said AP. He was in AP 50 days and received his Visa on day 56. I had my Congressman Adam Kinzinger involved with AP around the 6th week and 12 days later his AP was complete. I contacted someone everyday. I called DOS 1-3 times a day. We called the embassy 1-2 times a week. I emailed the embassy 1-3 times a week. DOS said still in AP even after visa was issued. Embassy AP site still says Pending even though his visa is on its way to him right NOW! (updated on March 15, 2012) Rating : Very Good

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
