Consulate Review: Egypt Review Topic: IR-1/CR-1 Visa Event Description Review Date : March 22, 2019 Embassy Review : We arrived at the embassy at around 7 am. There was already two lines formed outside the embassy. One for immigrant and one for non-immigrant visas. We stood in line until an employee of the embassy asked everyone to take out their interview email and aramex document (which we did not have and didn’t know about). He told us there was an office down the block that will print it for us and we paid 150 Egyptian pounds. We went back in line at 7:40 and went into the embassy. We were first called by a very nice Egyptian employee who collected our papers. She asked for our marriage certificate, my husband’s (the applicant) birth certificate, his police paper, and his medical documents that were in the envelope that she asked him to in front of her. Then she took our papers and we sat for 2 hours until we were called for the interview itself. The American officer was very pleasant and nice. He asked my husband to swear that everything he put in his paperwork is truthful. Then he asked him when we met, how we met, how often I visited him and when we got married. He then said congratulations your visa is approved and stamped the document with him. He gave us a paper that the visa would arrive within two weeks. It was so worth the wait and we are so thankful for the process. 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.
