I have a friend who when through Chicago for POE on February 24th.  She is from Iran.  Her visa was issued prior in early December.  She was coming on a CR1 visa and made it through with no real difficulties.  The only thing she mentioned to me was that she was confused about what to do and where to go and there was no one to answer any of her questions.  From the time the plane landed to when she appeared outside of the Customs area was 2 hours.  She did not face any additional screening.  

Thank you for your reply, My flight after 2 days so i wish everything will be fine and normal.

Thanks @kalelaimy and @eslamhassan for your quick replies.  Truly appreciate it! 

 

We will schedule the medical appointment about 3 weeks prior to his visa interview appointment isa. I hope their will be no issues when the time comes about slots available at Al Sharouk. How quickly do they give you back your medical examination packet?

 

 

Just after 10 days of medical exam date

Hi all!

 

Which hospital and doctor is better to have your medical examination done at/by?

Dr. Magda Ramzi Habib
Anglo-American Hospital
or
Dr. Hesham El Boraolosy
Dr. Eman Roshdy
Al Sherouk Hospital
 

Al Sherouk is actually much closer to us... But we do not mind going to Anglo-American if it's better. 

 

We just got case complete but have not been scheduled an interview appointment yet, so another question I have is: How soon once we get the interview appointment should Ahmed go and have his medical examination done?

 

Thanks!

I think you shouldn't be in hurry to make the medical examination because the visa validity is determined from the date your medical exam done, so i suggest if you do the exam before your interview date by 3 weeks at least.

I did my medical exam at El Shorouk Hospital and they are good and didn't face any problems there.

it's going to cost you about 1800 L.E for all medical exams, X-Ray, Lab. & Vaccinations.

Here's some reviews about Chicago as POE : http://www.visajourney.com/reviews/poereviews.php?poe=Chicago&dfilter=0

 

 

If you have a connecting flight from Chicago, generally people say allow 3-4 hours between flights to make sure you clear immigrations in time and still can get back through security to make the next flight. Just saves a lot of stress about worrying if you're gonna make the next flight.

Thanks for ur help. appriciate it.

Dears,

I am moving to USA on 17th of March, my POE will be O'Hare Airport Chicago.

I am little worried about POE because i don't know any info. , Is it easy ? How much time it's take to pass ?

Please share with me your advices.

Best Regards

I need some help here, i checked now CEAC online to see visa status and it shows: ISSUED , this shows just the next day of the interview so, when should i start call Aramex to collect my passport ?

First of all thanks to God and to all VJ members for all the help and info. i got from here.

Today i had my interview done and got Approval for my CR1 Visa in US Embassy in Cairo, Egypt. And the interview was very easy just lasted for 5 minutes and the CO was very polite and cheerful.

I am just writing this to give a hope for everyone still in the process and to give an advice to be relaxed because i experienced how to be so nervous before the interview and just be well prepared.

Thanks,

Kareem

My fiance was verbally approved and handed a slip of paper saying he was approved on Feb 24th, but when we check the DS-160 status, it says no status and we only have his Application ID, we did not get a case number from the embassy! They kept all the paperwork, and it says his passport is currently with the embassy. Should we be worried, or are they slow to update as it is the weekend?

You shouldn't worry at all, it would take about 2 weeks until you receive the passport with the visa.

My friend! Did you find out how to get it ? I will appreciate it if you can help me as i'm having the same problem 

Yes, just you should register on ustraveldocs website and just print the appointment confirmation that include the pickup location of your passport.

Dear VJeez,

My interview will be on 28th February and i started to be anxious, I need your help especially who did their interview in US Embassy in Cairo, Egypt. 

What were the questions asked to you at the interview?

Please try to mention all the questions being asked so I can prepare myself for the interview.

I did my medical exam 4 days ago on 4th, Feb. at Al Shorouk hospital, it took 3 hours to complete everything.

Regarding vaccinations, they give MMR & Titanous.

Total cost was about 1850 L.E. ( Doctor's check + X-Ray + Vaccines + Lab. tests )

I should receive my medical exam results after 10 days from the time the exam was done.

Across the street from the American embassy there are shops that print them for 100 pounds.  This is what I did.  Because the one they will accept is the one with the bar code.  

 

Can someone help me to find how can i get Aramex confirmation page ?

Hi,

My interview is very soon within 3 weeks and i found that i must bring a confirmation page of Aramex registration, where should i get this from ? However i already have an appointment confirmation page and in it there is a field with the address i choosed to pick-up my passport from.

Hi VJ members,

I need your help ASAP, while i was checking my DS-260 inputs i found that i did a big mistake in the question asks about if there is a previous spouse and previous spouse details i answered yes and added my wife's ex-husband details which they are already divorced, however i was not married or divorced before. (The mistake that i thought this question is asking about petitioner status my wife not me the applicant). I already have a copy of my wife divorce certificate in case they ask about it in the interview.

what i need to know: 1. Should i tell the CO that i did this mistake while i filled the form ? or just don't mention anything ? i am asking because it's already passed from NVC and approved.

2. In case i mentioned that i did this mistake in the form while i fill it, Will this delay my CR-1 Visa approval and issue in the interview ? or this will make me put in Administrative processing ?

Thanks,

I just got email from NVC that the embassy refused my expedite request, althought I have seen many approved expedite requests. However I mentioned same reasons and more reasons than others included and their request accepted... I am really feel sad ? but at least now I know that US Embassy in Egypt approve expedite requests very very very rare. Anyway I must still keep positive because that's the only option now... Anyway is there anyone from Egypt knows how long normally the avarage it takes from case complete to get interview appointment in Egypt!!!????

I m also waiting for iv fee to get unlocked. Dont know how long its gonna take:(

As of my experience it took 2 days but expect it will be within 2 to 4 days

I hope this month will be the lucky one

Just took the police report and court record to translator service to get them ready for NVC package, the guy told me I shouldn't translate them and i should send only original because of NVC had trouble with poeple falsifying those report especialy arabic countries Wich is my case too(morocco)..so i decided to send oroginal with English translation to avoid any problem..am i doing the right thing ? Any help guys ?im confused what to send and what's not to send ?

I was in same situation and will tell you my advice to avoid any delays, first you must get a police record then you should search for a certified translator not just anyone I am sure that US Embassy in Marocco deal with some certfied translators, after you get a translation for your document from a certified translator you should send a copy of it along a copy with the original police certicate. You should only send a copy but in the interview you must bring all originals.

Mine is Nebraska Service center.

Do you know anyone who has the same service center and PD as me and got approve?

I think Nebraska sc is a bit longer in approvals,but I think u can expect to get approved within the next 30 days not more

How did you find out the scan date? On your NVC account/email?

You should call them and ask if they received ur package mail or not

Hello Everyone!

My PD is July 25th, 2016.

I think I still have a long wait until they approve my I-130...

My PD is the same like yours and I already got approved last 26 August from Potomac sc

My AOS status shows PAID , can i go and pay IV fee now or i need to wait until ds-261 has been reviewed ?

Of course you can't pay it now because it's still unlocked for you, you should first call NVC and ask the agent to confirm your ds-261 and ask him to unlock the IV fee bill for you. it should take 2 days to show and to be payable.

That would definetly be a miracle

I already had a miracle before when USCIS approved my I-130 within 30 days exactly and this was the biggest miracle for me
