What the hell do they think?  Guns are sold in every street in the US or most of the republican states.  If it's just a  hunting gun like if you go animal hunting.  November is the deer hunting season in the States and they all use rifles to hunt them . Not only this in every grocery store there is all kinds of blends and herbs for deer marination which is the only way to eat them is to hunt them with a rifle.  so #######?

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 had my interview in Cairo.  They asked me how long have we been married.  If we have children.  What do I and my husband do for living. And what am I granted visa what am I planning for.  One of the important things to do which helped me is to get a police report from any country that you lived for a year to avoid delay.

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.

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.

Yeah you do have a point here but I assumed that he already got the letter and if I'm not mistaken I guess that Aramex located in the us also so it's easily could be sent from aramex us to aramex Egypt then forwarded to the embassy tho.

No.  From a previous experience with Aramex.  Never deal with Aramex for international dealings.  It's horrible.  I did it before and they drove me insane then when I read the reviews on their page.  The rating is so low.  If I knew that I wouldn't have dealt with them.  So if your spouse is going to mail it from the US . The best ways are UPS.  FEDEX and DHL. 

Congratulations . Inshalla it will be fine.  Don't worry you have legal rights .it's not chaotic that they just ask you to pack your stuff and leave without pointing at something illegal you did . Good Luck

congrats ... how long did they take to return your passport back to you  ? ... and there is no delay in  the case

اThanks.  It took them 2 weeks and 4 days to return back my passport.  Of course I was so worried and emailed the embassy  and phoned ARAMEX every other day as I see people got back their passports within 5 days and 4 days.  But They said it might take from 2 to 3 weeks because it sometimes they are behino on other cases that it delays some other cases.  So I got it within 2 weeks and half. So don't worry and Good luck.

then what did u do in the interview ? did u face any problem?

No.  Thanks God . I gave him the right paper which is the ORIGINAL not the copy.  My husband mailed to me through UPS.  It took 5 days till it came  here.  But as I told you go to the IRS office and show him the papers you have then they will tell you what you need.  The interview went well.  They accepted the papers.

i sent my affifdavit of support and supporting document to nvc  , they replied that there is something incorrect in my affidavit of support  , and i have to do it again and bring it with me in the interview and my case still in process for scheduling interview  , now if i make a new affidavit of support and bring it my interview  ,  this will affect my interview  , and delay my visa ? or has no effect just give them the new papers and no effect on decision of CO  , no dely in my visa

I had the same problem like you and we didn't know what is the problem exactly . So my husband took  letter I was sent by NVC and took it to the IRC office and they told him what is the problem.  He fixed it And mailed it to me and I took it to the interview

Thank you for your reply. What's the process to add an American wife to the Family Registry Certificate, do I need to translated or get any sort of stamps or authentication from other government agencies.

 

Thank you

 

If you married her in Egypt in the ministry of justice.  So you need to update your national ID info and add her to it on the application.  Then when you apply for family registration her info will appear automatically on it . So it's the national ID first and you can ask for fast service if you are in a hurry to receive your Id for  extra 65 pounds  as I remember.  But if you married her in the USA I don't know how to have the marriage  registered here because when I married in the USA in the court house I authenticated my marriage in the Egyptian consulate first then completed the rest of the procedures in the ministry of justice when I came back to Egypt.  But anyway the reason they ask for the family registration is to make sure that you haven't committed marriage fraud by having two wives at the same time.  So if your family registration shows that you never had any wife or children at all so  you are right here . The reason they do that is   Because many middleeastern males married US women and wrote in their application that they are single with no children   then after they got their citizenship . They file for their wives back home with children.  It just happened last May.  An Egyptian guy in NY was on B1B2 visa.  He married an American lady on papers and paid her some money.  He is a dentist and could afford it then got his green card and citizenship then divorced her as they agreed . Then he started filing for a wife and 4 children From Egypt.  This is when he got caught last may. So if you have American papers send it to them and they are understand that it will not be registered here . But they care to make sure that you have no other wife now and had no wife in Egypt when you married your ex wife in the USA.  Because they are very strict now about omitting fraud more than ever .

Yes we did married in Harries County City Court in Houston TX. My question is, the embassy requesting the Family Registry Certificate which has the previous marriage and kids, however, my current wife and my American kids not listed and register in Egypt. So is it a problem to provide the embassy with the certificate with out current wife and kids listed?

 

Thank you

 

Ah OK. Now I got the story.  When they ask for your family registration they ask to make sure that you don't have a current wife now and didn't have an ex wife in Egypt when you married your ex wife in America.  So to make sure that you didn't commit fraud as the American law prohibits polygamy.  So just get the family registration that proves that you didn't have wife or kids before.  And send them your ex marriage and divorce certificate with your kids birth certificate from America and write them a letter or print them a letter with your signature that you didn't have your ex marriage and kids registered with the Egyptian government.  This is the reason why they aren't registered with in the registry office.

Is that necessary to add the current marriage to the Family Registry Certificate? Specially our marriage certificate obtained from Court in Houston TX.

 

 

Thank you

 

Did you marry in a US City Hall or at the Egyptian consulate there?  Because here in Egypt the government won't acknowledge the marriage unless you have it registered in the US consulate there?  I married in the City Hall and had to have it stamped from the Egyptian consulate to get it registered in the Egyptian department of justice. 

You are welcome

Thanks @Mikeadam! I had a feeling that was going to be the case, because even with the proper travel document entering/leaving Egypt is a challenge.

 

What is the re-entry permit though? Is that the I-551 stamp?

 

Thanks again!

Reentry permit is to file for for I 131  . It's a travel document with your photo on it that you have to file before traveling.  It is valid for 2  years.  It allows you to re enter the USA without without the actual green card. It's  form I 131 . a travel document . I didn't have any problems with it at all.  

I tried to travel with it and had all kinds of hell to get a boarding pass issued.  The problem with  the extension letter that many countries don't believe in it like Brazil and China and in Egypt. They don't even know what this it. As the letter says that you can work and travel for a whole year but it doesn't apply to you if your status has been terminated or abandoned.  So they tell you that you have to go to the US embassy to get boarding foil.  It's  a big headache.  If you want to come to Egypt.  Get a RE ENTRY permit from the USCIS.  No problem at all with it.

Hey,

 

I see you are from Egypt too (or at least sponsoring an Egyptian spouse). I heard the Nebraska service center is kinda slow. How long did it take you to get approved there?

 

Hello 

Yes I am from Egypt being  .  Nebraska is really slow . It took them 6 month and 10 days to approve my case. 

No don't worry.  Sometimes it takes up to 8 months for a case to be approved by the USCIS.  And also try to call them. 

Look maybe the mistake was that she stayed this long without visiting her country.  I feel her because I had the same experience. The problem is if she leaves she will be banned from US entry again.  So I think try to convince her or try to go to marriage counseling.  It will be very hard for her to work.  But I would find out what is her best interest and encourage her to volunteer in it just to keep her busy and convince her to wait for a few months to do her AOS then travel for sometime then she will feel better 

I wish I have an answer for this same question but I don't because I am still waiting for my interview. But I will take my credit card with me just in case they asked.

Yes you register with Aramex right after you get the interview letter .

Why does he think you don't intend to get married. If you are on K1 visa you can marry within 3 months of your entry to the States. The other thing is you need to show him what kind of family emergency you went back home for to convince him that there was a reason for that.

Why 300? They charged me 100 pounds. But maybe you did it in the interview day. I still have 3 weeks till my appointment.

So you used case ID and invoice number to get it?

I don't know my invoice ID number . Just my case number . I actually gave my appointment letter to the girl and she did everything without invoice ID number.

They charged me 300 pounds and later on I found out that I shouldn't have paid any things

Many people have been asking about where or how to get the ARAMEX paper including me. I was having problems signing up for travel docs as I don't have the Invoice ID number. So the best way to get it without screwing up is to go to any of the Bazaars or shops across the street from the American embassy with your passport and case number and they will issue it for you in 10 minutes. That's what I did. Hope this would help someone who had this problem.
