Consulate Review: Egypt Review Topic: K1 Visa Event Description Review Date : June 21, 2011 Embassy Review : Before we got in to the embassy we had to find a CIB bank to pay the interview fee at, the guard there will direct you to the CIB bank up the street in a hotel, but they don't accept payments for some reason (At least they told us that) so we had to get directions to one that did and find it. Once that was taken care of we got in to the Embassy for our interview. Our appointment was at 2PM but we arrived early at around 10AM which was a good idea as you're going to be there for a few hours. I read previous reviews that the interview was done in a room, however this was not the case. Once we had entered we took a number and had to wait to be called to one of 14 windows where we were asked some questions and they took my fiancees passport and two photos. We then had to go pay the DHL fee along with some other consulate fees at a cashier window then we sat a bit more until we were called up again to be asked some other questions, then we were told our interview would be next. We waited another hour or so for that to happen, the consulate who interviewed us asked the following questions: How did you meet? When did the you get engaged? Are you related? Do you have photos from the engagement party? (we didn't as my dad called hers) What do you do for a living (to both of us)? Have either of you been married before? When do you plan to get married? Where do you plan to get married? After he finished asking questions he told us we had gotten the visa and congratulated us! Rating : 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.
