It is based on a personal experience.

Oh great. I hope you are right! Thankfully I'm still engaged. If her interview was on Sunday, when do you think we will hear back from them? Does get updated on the NVC site once it gets approved?

If you are already married the visa will be rejected and your so called fiancee will get a denial letter with her passport in the mail. The US embassy is linked to the internal government system and they will find out. The case will go back to NVC and it will be closed due to the expiration of the petition.

If you are not married and you have submitted the adequate documentation it will be approved within a week.

Thank you for the info. If you don't mind asking, is this legit answer? Like are you sure of it?

I am a woman, from a crithian country abd i am a year on ap.

Rmember that usually muslin country get long ap

I dont have to apply again, all i need it is go to the consulate.

I havent been 2 in ap, i am on ap from march 2014.

I believe every case is different than the other. in Cairo, specifically. Anyone here applying in Cairo embassy please?

That's horrible. I'm so frustrated same as my fiancé. They didn't even ask her except 3 questions. We had tons of paper but no one looked at it.

Did you have to apply again? How can you be twice on AP?

Good luck for the interview.

My fiancé just had her interview too today in Cauro and they took her passport and her case moved to AP. I have no idea what does that mean!!! How long is the wait AGAIN NOW?? This is so frustrating.

Actually no one knows except those that are reviewing your case. This is common for cases in her country and is very frustrating to endure. As long as the case remains at the embassy there is a good chance of approval.

Thank you. Does it make a difference if they took her passport or not? What is the average of waiting tho now?

Hello All,

I hope someone here can assist me with my situation. My Fiance went for an interview today at the US Embassy in Cairo. Everything was fine, 3-4 questions were asked then the consular took her passport and said that they will have to do more investigations and they will let her know.

She asked if she wasrejected or something went wrong and the consular told he that she is not rejected and not to worry. I checked her case online and i found that she is under AP now.

Does anyone know how long this will take and what is happening here?

Thank you

Sure, they received it on December 29. 3 months ago exactly.

I'm very nervous tho. I don't understand why wouldn't they tell her the results right away? Why is it requiring more stress and hassle?

We knew about it March 1st actually.

If you have links for an incident like mine, please send it to me

Thank you. I hope this is a good sign. I don't think it will take long till they reply either. They can't have her passport and hold her from traveling anywhere for a long time right?

Did anyone had the same incident?

My fiancé went in today and had the interview. They took her passport and they told her that they will let her know. I checked the NVC case status right after she went out and I found that they put her under administrative processing.

Does anyone know what does that mean and how long is the wait?

Does anyone have any updates except this lol?

My case was updated on Monday on the NVC website but nothing has been changed.

Oh My! That is a very long time. I think they don't want anyone to break their record of the longest processing time. so, it still doesn't show that your documents have been received? I see two people saying that it has changed within 2 days. I guess the lucky one you are talking about! Ha

Lol no, I meant 3 months for the interview date. Mine was received within 2 days too! The lucky ones are who just started the case in July 2014 and now they have their hubby in US already lol. I don't know how it works but I have seen cases much faster than others. Mine considered from the pretty slow side! I check my emails every an hour. I wake up in middle of night just to look at it.

The issue is you don't know what is the time frame so you can be prepared and the bad thing is I have heard some folks applied for K1 visa and they were declined just because they didn't have enough evidence or becUse the counselor didn't believe that they are not married yet or they would leave egypt without getting married first...Nightmare!

So, before I pull my hair out, can anyone tell me, how long does it normally take the embassy to post the documents status on the dashboard/ profile? should I keep waiting or keep emailing them? I don't want to piss anyone off and have our case thrown into the nearest trash can! Haha

As far as I know it takes about 3 months unless you get lucky. I have sent 10s of emails to them but nothing has happend. I even reached out to the congressman and the senator but they couldn't help either. All you have to do is to wait and pray. I have sent my package on Dec. 30th and I'm still waiting FYI.

Hello All,

I thought to create this topic to share some info regarding K1 visa and scheduling interview with the US Embassy in Egypt.

I have sent all of the need documents to the embassy on December 27th,2014 and since then and i'm waiting for the interview date.

How is everyone doing here?

Please share any info that you might have and think it is helpful or post your question.

Thank you and Good Luck to Everyone.

I love how you assumed that I ask generic questions! How is an inquiry about whether my documents have been received or not generic?

Sorry, didnt mean it that way. the inquiry is a generic question as the answer would be " we will let you know once we receive your papers"

Do you mind if i ask you when did you send your documents?

Hmm. How do you know which counselor replies? I always get a semi-generic unsigned response! Which email address do you send your questions to? I use this one: ConsularCairoIV@state.gov

His name on the signature in all of the emails. That's the right email address. You get the generic answers because you ask generic questions. I have been back and forth with him with emails but unfortunately that didn't help in anything either.

I have received an email from the embassy counselor Mo (I guess he is the only person answering emails) that they are working on beginning of November papers. But I guess your papers were different or you just got lucky:)

I have started that case last year in January so i guess I'm the oldest here!

I'm actually waiting for my Fiance' interview. We have sent the required documents to the embassy end of December,2014. Does anyone know how long more we have to wait till the interview?

Thanks

That's weird!! since Jan and until now they change your Alien number ... hmmm

it has been saying that since January and now they just changed the date but it is still saying the same

No sorry. I was asking Nina the question lol. Since she is a June filer. I'm just confirming what she wrote. I was confused by her post ?

No sorry. I was asking Nina the question lol. Since she is a June filer. I'm just confirming what she wrote. I was confused by her post ?

i was confused by her post too. thats what i meant

So you are a june filer. And you got your status changed that it is in initial review again? But not for august 8?

i'm sorry. I'm confused. so you have got the same situation like mine?

I have applied for K-1 visa in January 2014 and since then my case is in intial review. On August 8th, they have updated the case with " On August 8, 2014, your Alien Registration Number was changed relating to your I129F, PETITION FOR FIANCE(E). Please check our website at www.uscis.gov for further updates on your case. Please wait until the end of normal processing time before calling customer service at 1-800-375-5283 for live assistance. "

It is the same status but a different date !! can anyone help please?

Thank you

All of the paperwork for immigration will tell you not to book these things until your VISA is hand, for a very simple reason: it takes a different length of time for every case. There's no way to guarantee you won't have a request for more information, you won't sit in additional processing for who knows how long, or, as already mentioned, that the worldwide VISA processing system won't crash.

You'll have a period of up to six months to travel on your VISA after it's issued (the expiry date will be listed when you get it), and you'll have 90 days to marry after you enter the United States. You shouldn't book or schedule or pay for anything until you have the VISA (especially if you're from a high-risk country). If the time given isn't enough time to have the sort of wedding you want, you and your partner should consider having a courthouse wedding to "get legaled" soon after immigrating, and then prepare for the big church wedding at a later date.

thanks for the advice

Yes..mine is on initial review since Jan 7th...haven't heard nothing since then..

We submitted inquiry to our Senator..but no answer yet...

Unfortunately...I feel like there's nothing we can do..but wait..

Don't lose your hopes! our turn will come...prob you first...I am so unlucky with this kind of things...

i hope it will happen soon. Are you from Egypt as well? it differs from country to another tho.
