B2 visas from Cairo for family members?

Hey guys- we are trying to facilitate a visit for my husband's niece and nephew (age 16 and 11), they will need to obtain visitor visas, have any of you had recent success with this type of situation? Did the process go smoothly or did they drag their feet? Thanks in advance

This will prove to be difficult at best simply due to the country involved. The problem remains that USCIS views anyone with a visa as an intending immigrant.

You or someone can help submit the applications keeping in mind these cases are really decided before the interview which someone can attend with them of course. The interview would be very easy because the reasoning is easy to understand. To me this means the effort must be put into how to present proof that these kids must return. Its seems obvious but there must be no question in the embassies mind about the subject of return.

Tourist visa applications are usually pretty smooth, I do not remember any major issues being reported.

I do not know how far you need to book put at Cairo, most places are a few weeks.

The only incorrect part about this post is the reference to USCIS. USCIS isn't involved with this, just the Embassy.

Right, I guess I thought it would be obvious, as they are both minors, have family and school to continue in Egypt, etc? So no one has personal experience with this recently? I am well aware of the "country of origin" issues, as my husband immigrated to the US some years ago.

I do not remember any particular reports about Cairo. There is a lady who posted a few days back who is going for a B and said she would report back.

Not sure what you are after, presumably your Husband can tell you about the Consulate.
