Thank you! I got approved YAY! 

 

London is super simple, i was in and out in about 40 minutes and got asked 2 questions in the interview. 1.How did we meet? and 2.Have i met his family? then i was told I'll have the visa within 2 weeks. 

 

Crossing my fingers your interview will be just as easy tomorrow! 

Hurray!

 

hopefully you are on your way home for a wee celebration now ;)

 

that makes me feel better about tomorrow - and to know not to rush to be there really early. It would be wonderful if it is that quick - I was anticipating a couple of hours waiting...

does the case number starts with CRO? maybe I got it wrong.

 

Thank you.

Yasser&Neveen

The 3 letters at the beginning of the case number represent your Consulate. CRO looks correct for Cairo.

You actually can dial again with 1 minute intervals. They do that, they won't give you the option to be on hold then hang up and once you dial again, you will have that option. ??

I just got approved today, 123 days of waiting since Nov 14th. I called my fiance and he was sleeping, we were teary and happy at the same time. 

 

By the way we made a mistake in our timeline about the first date we knew each other, but I think they didn't read it carefully, I was so nervous I would get a RFE, but next time when I go for the interview I will need to bring another timeline with me.
