Immigrant Visa Interview Schedule: http://cairo.usembassy.gov/consular/iv8.htm
This is a high fraud embassy. Expect scrutiny of the relationship, no matter the circumstances. Embassy has delayed and returned petitions without explanation or ability to provide further evidence as required. Expect additional security clearance/admin processing after the interview, particularly of males, which can delay visa issuance by 1-6 months or more.
