| Embassy Review : |
We had our interview today. I say we because I came to Egypt to be part of it with my fiancé. There was a woman outside who checked to make sure each person had their copy of their appointment verification that states that Aramex was paid or something. They want to make sure you sent packet 3 by Aramex and you paid your appointment fee before they let you in. Then you go in and give them your cell phone, lighter or any prohibited item. You can’t bring in electronics, so leave them home. You have to go through a metal detector. It’s not a big deal, but ladies, an underwire bra will set it off. We went in got a number and got called to see the one lady after 20 minutes. She took his passport, divorce paper, original military paperwork, two 2’ by 2’ photos and birth certificate. She took his biometrics, which was good, no mess ink fingerprinting. We then sat down and waited another half hour to forty minutes and then were called to see the actual consular officer. He was at a window too, but it was more private and secluded and less stressful than the other windows. I went with my fiancé and said hello to him, but he asked me to go sit in the waiting room for the interview part. After 10 minutes or so, my fiancé came out and told me to go in. The guy asked me about being an exchange student and I told him about that because that is how I met my fiancé 30 years ago. Then he asked if I learned Arabic here then, but I explained that I learned it from my Syrian first husband. Then I told him how my children and I are going to have a cook-off between their dad and my fiancé to prove Syrian food is better. The consular officer laughed because he thought so too. Then he asked when I am planning to return home and he was sad to hear it is in a few days. They probably can’t prepare the visa that fast but to expect iit in a week or two. I actually cried, I was so grateful. Later, I found that he had asked about how we met when I was an exchange student and my job and my kids. He looked at my family album and saw a photo of my ex and my youngest son and saw that everyone including my fiancé’s family were in my book. It was funny that I mentioned how all of us wanted have a barbecue and cook-off. All the waiting is over. If you do your homework and are careful with your documents and are honest, you should be fine. |

*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.
