My fiance just called and he has picked up his visa. :dance: The process took 6 months and 1 day from the day our petition was received at CSC. The US embassy in Algiers has been great. They answered every email I sent them within 24 hours. They were very kind in theirs emails. Most of the time the email reply would start with "Dear Madame, Thank you for you message." Wow, I was amazed, they are thanking me for bothering them. :lol: Anytime Hachemi called them they answered him with no problems. When Hachemi called to tell them he had his medical exam results and documents ready, they gave him an interview appointment for 6 days later. At the interview, they looked at his supporting documents and did not ask him any questions. I have read so many posts about how other embassies are and I feel we were very lucky.

I hope everyone has a smooth and easy experience with your embassy as we did. Good luck to you all.
