ok b-4 i start i would like to thank everybody here for the support and just wanted to say (god bless you ).

ok and it went like this
1-fiance was at the door at 7:20am
2-long line
3-he went in and we all know that they have to check papers and all that.
well here is the juicy part
went in they asked him question about my name last my job my mom name and dad name oh and sisters names too.and why my fiance chose me on the net (thats how we met) and mohamed answerd everything but,then they asked him what year i came to the state and he did not know the answer for that.
then the person who was doing the interview told him thats it and my fiance asked him if he got the ok the person told him be patient and they took his passport and told him they will let him know in about 2 weeks ..... so i have no idea what to make of this ...

joulie

Sounds pretty standard, Joulie.

Sounds like your fiance is in the standard Cairo AP blackhole. Welcome to the club!

I would call DOS in a couple weeks to see if his case got there.

hi moody... how come they did not let him know if he got the ok and why they took his passport from him and told him they will let him know about 2 weeks , i mean i want to e-mail the embassy just to find out this is killing me

Thanks Joulie!

I think by them keeping his passport, it is a good sign. From what I hear that is standard, saying they will let him know in 2 weeks.
I am happy they did not grill him too much and all went well ! God bless and keep us posted.

That sounds strange about the two weeks. Don't they normally tell people the time in months at Cairo? Maybe he is lucky and didn't get a name hit! I'd *love* to get a visa two weeks after an interview!!

That's just what they do. There's really no rhyme or reason to it. My husband was told he was approved and would get the visa in a month. It's now been 4 mos. and nothing. I know others whose husbands weren't told anything and they went through AP same as we have. If you email the embassy you will get a canned response. Like I said, I would call DOS in a couple weeks just to make sure his case got there.




It's too early to tell about name hits. Cairo tells ppl one thing, does another. Keep dreaming on that visa after two weeks. Haven't y'all been on VJ long enough to know the drill?

I hope he'll get it in 2 weeks that'd be a first. But I thought I read from other people's experiences that they are no longer keeping the passports. That's kinda confusing cuz I thought they'd let people go home with it and then ask for it when security clearances were done. Maybe procedures are changing.....don't know what to think. But I do know that those of you who have had interviews months ago have been waiting WAY TOO LONG. They need to get a move on...........

Joulie, did they make him leave his passport or did they give him a choice?

Did they look at any of the proof of relationship like pictures, plane tickets, etc. I spent a while organizing it all & don't want it to go to waste!

M&N...my husband brought photos and other proofs with him to our interview. He practically forced the CO to look at the photos. The CO didn't care to see any of the other proofs. K1 interviews are slightly different than K3 or CR1 interviews (they tend to want to see more proof of a relationship). Also, it depends on the CO.

they said to leav the passport and they did finger print too if that helps




they did look but not a lot .. so i would take whatever i have

They do fingerprints for every interviewee. I think it depends on the CO whether or not they keep the passport. My husband was given the option to take it or leave it.

Joulie, I wouldn't worry about it. Like I said before, it sounds standard. It will take a bit but I believe you'll get your good news eventually

yes my point

do you guys think now that they did all those Lottery people things might be picking up???

But then again 2 weeks sounds like a standard BS reply..

Dee, the DVs are an ongoing thing. Check out this month's schedule.

ohhhh one more thing my fiance said there was a lot of people there and most of them they gave them the passport and told them refused ... not to scare anyone plzzzzzzzzzzzz dont be we are all here for the info and support

Things aren't picking up in terms of actually getting an interview.....we are on week #7 and counting.

Most of those ppl probably didn't go in for fiance or spousal visas.

no m&n , we send ours on jan 9th or 10th and we just got it now .but, i hope yours comes in soon

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel like I am getting Cut in Line... There was Hardly ANY EGY k1/ k3??!!! What the H*ll is that about????

I hope everything turns out OK for you Joulie. It sounds promising. I wish you and your fiance all the best! I hope you don't get stuck in AP/AR too long if that's what's going on.

I am wishing you all the best. I can only imagine how you keep running the interview over in your head. Im sure you will be lucky and everything will go well
keep positive. I think there is no way to know what thier actions mean, they could say yeah your approved, then your waiting months without a visa. So you had the interview!!! Thats great , im just waiting for that day. Its progress.....

I am happy for you that your fiance did so well. My fiance went through the same they took his passport also and he had to pay i think it was 48 EGP in advance for the DHL delivery of his visa. We are in A/P right now I have no idea how long it will take. I hope we all get out of it soon. You know how Cairo is. They take a long time for everything. But we made it this far we will get through the rest. We just need to be a little more patient our time will come. CONGRATULATIONS!!! that he did so well.
