Egypt Processing: Wow. Do these things for a living never seen process like this.

My husband is Egyptian applied for him to come here. Alhumdallah the NVC approved the petition in March 2009. It took NVC to schedule the Interview for my husband 2 months to calendar a interview. When i spoke with the NVC they told me that because Egypt has a large volume of applicants on a daily basis they have to fan them out. But wait. The wait gets longer. Once your approved, if your approved, they give no leah way for processing the visa ( 6 to 8 weeks ). So, from me to you, be as patient as possible.

Interview Tip for your spouse: Be there as early as possible, the line starts to form at least one hour before the scheduled time. With any luck he or she will be one of the firsts few otherwise, prepare to spend the day there...
