You should join us in the October 2015 Interviews thread (soon to roll over to November 2015 Interviews --the thread runs a month in advance). Right now, it's taking about 4 months from CC to receive an interview date in Cairo with the interview being 5 months after case complete (so a September CC might make your interview date in February). Lots of Cairo people waiting. :( Some who have CCs in June are still waiting. Hoping Cairo speeds up and we can all be home for the holidays.

No no no :( This makes me so sad. And most people in Cairo are waiting months AFTER an approved visa interview to actually receive their visa. :ranting:

Yeah, it's unfortunate. The average among embassies is something like 60 days from case complete date to interview date...Cairo is pushing 150-160. No rhyme or reason. just running on Egyptian time. click on the link I sent earlier to take you to the thread, but a new one for november will start tomorrow, like I said (it might already be up at this point).
