I got approved and here 's my experience so other can learn

let me tell you the story of my interview it was good but the woman checked every single evidence I had very carefully ..she is the same CO who denied my visitor visa 8 month ago "funny"

well I waited infront of the embassy in along line I was infront of the embassy at 6:30 A.M for my interview at 9 A.M or 8 A.M as the website said it's9 while the letter said it's 8 ..
then I get in and I was dying of fear I was really hardly able to breathe and I felt horrible ..I was trembling while i was sitting there waiting ..Cairo embassy is really busy OMG very crowded !!..
Then when I get in the embassy "they let me in with my 4 big albums though",,they gave me a no i was NO 13 of IV ..then I sit and waited till Egyptian woman at window 8 called my number and I went there and she saw the big folders I had and the 4 Albums and she said "OMG what is all this" I said " It's my wedding photos and photos with my husband would you like to see it she said yeah " SHe is is not the CO" and I showed it to her she was very nice ...she liked our photos a lot ....and she took my passport and my appointment letter and she told me to go pay the TNT thing ...and then she said I should wait till the CO call for me..so I went to TNT section happily" asking the guy he said all people pay these TNT fees wether they go the visa or not",,,
But after talkin to this woman I felt better ,I thought they are rude and bad but she was really nice...then waiting and waiting and waiting for 4 hours till CO called my name " I heard her saying Salwa" I found out i heard her wrong and that window was for visitor visa and there was another Salwa ..this CO she was American with very beautiful eyes ..she said can you see you application with the photo while she was smiling I said joking" OH I'm with very ugly photo " she laughed ...then she never find my application and then asked for my full name and found out I heard wrong and that Visitor visa window ..lol
then I go back again people leaves and some get the visa and other don't!!!! and I was like in the last few people left I start to worry " what happened did they forget about me "
then after long waiting the CO call my name at window 11...I go carrying my very big folders and papers and albums ..I look to see the same CO who was not nice to me in my interview at the visitor visa ..
and incontrast she was smiling this time all the time and asked me alot of questions and she checked every single evidence I had ..she never asked for it but whenever I ask if she likes to see it she say "yes Ma'am please" so I showed it to her all...she saw my phone call records and she checked it carefully and Mark's copy of his passport and she really checked the dates he was stamped at for Egyptian visas to make sure I was saying the truth and he did visited me 3 times and she checked my emails and his emails and Ikobo reports and the Trips Itinaries ...all
and then she saw our engagement photo and then wedding photos and then she asked to see photos of us with family I showed her the other album and told here this where my dad and mum and mark so she smiled and never looked at the rest of the photos ...

then she asked what's my husband job ? I replied and she asked me when did he get divorced and I replied and asked me about his son custody ...I replied ..then I told her that my husband is a caver too and we will go caving together and showed her the copy of his interview in a magazine of caving and his photo there and him talking about me ..and then she smiled as usaual..then she asked if i ever have been to US I said I applied for visitor visa in Dec but it got denied ...she smiled and said
Ma'am you will receive your visa in a week or 10 days ..I was shocked HAPPY..and she smiled and saw how happy I was and I asked if i can book before i receive the visa she said no don't book your ticket till you receive the visa ...and that was it guys
so It was an easy interview she checked on everything I had ..everything...
If you are going through Cairo ..YOU must be READY
