Consulate Review: Egypt Review Topic: Direct Consular Filing Event Description Review Date : September 2, 2007 Embassy Review : 1- we had to go to the embassy 4 times .. one was fine , 3 were worse than each others . 2- the American side is the last place on the earth you want to visit .. yes even if you are American coz me and my wife were treated the same and were given and told the same ( bullshit ) 3- we had DCF , the petition interview went fine BUT this was the only time when something goes well . 4- the visa interview was a nightmare COZ ... 5 5- the AP Decision is taken previously and even before the interview in most cases . 6- the delay is unbearable and mostly it over than 6 months in most cases doesn't matter what type of visa you have applied for .. and many cases go over the year limit specially when it's 4 and 5 and 6 months and yet you are still hearing that your case hasn't been sent to the DOS for names check . 7- when you deal with Cairo embassy simply ( you are GUILTY untill you prove that you are NOT ) the WORSE PART is even when you prove so , it won't make much difference . 8- really sad they don't have a negative rating here and i see ( 0=worst ) which is not fair enough coz it's more than the worst . Rating : Not Rated

*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.

** Not all cases are transfered
