These people are just very rude. The girl who answers the phone, will hang up on you, transfer you and generally tell you she can't even talk now and hang up. She doesn't care if you call from USA or where. She says she doesn't have papers and you are making mistake to call NVC. Then later you find your interview date is on the list at the Embassy? So they are very incompetent.
I will tell anyone who is having problems. I was at the Embassy and talked personally with Chris Rich - who seems to be in charge of this area for the the marriage and approval of the visas. Also another man, (who himself has attitude and rude) his name is Terry but I'm not sure his last name.
If you ever have problems getting in to the Embassy - just tell them you talked with Chris Rich or Terry in the consulate office, and they let you in immediately.
Also, if you have problems with the people hang up or lost your papers or treat you in a bad way, so just ask to talk to Supervisor, Chris Rich or Terry and they stop what they are doing and realize you know what you are talking about.
The particularly enjoy speaking rudely to anyone Egyptian. It's like they are fed up with them. However, if you speak English - and can do it well - she will talk a little more civil. I did a 3 way call with my husband on the phone at the same time to hear how she talks to him by Arabic, then I got in the coversation speaking English to her, and she immediately changed her tune!
She realized I'm American on the phone, and I told her I'm calling from America, so please hurry and don't put me on hold. So then she tries to transfer, and she is such a loser, she hangs up the phone. Intentional? Hmmmm.....well, I did leave a voice mail and email for both Chris and Terry about her attitude and how she treats people.
I also, spoke with them regarding the man at the door who is very rude and would not let my husband come in one time, unless I was with him. This really made me mad, so when I just went out of the Embassy (after getting a SMS from my husband) and came out to get him, with special note from Chris Rich to let him in....oh this man was really upset.
But my husband was the sweety as he always is and just smiled really genuinely happy and said thank you to this jerk at the door.
Plan on them losing some papers from you. Plan for them to treat you by bad ways. Plan on them ignoring you and being jealous. This is my only conclusion on their attitude. They must be jealous that they can't leave or they want to get away from this? They should just be happy to have a job!
That's all from me. We still have our interview coming up next month.
But we are prepared with our suit of armour!
Good luck everyone.

This is the most unorganized place I have ever seen! I think we were directed into 10 different directions before we were told to sit and wait for his name to be called. I was not allowed to go to the window while he was being interviewed, I had to stand back a few feet. Not impressed. Everyone was basically very rude.

Mohammed ended up going 3 times to the Embassy to interview. The first time he forgot his CIB receipt so his interview was rescheduled at his convenience and he was given a second letter of admission and asked to return the following business day. On that day the worker at the window took his receipt, looked at her screen and told him he was done he could go. He said he still needed his interview, she said no he had to go. So he left and returned to his home to find a message from the Embassy. He was sent out in error and needed to return for his interview. He was told to call the Voda Phone number they use for this but he was given a terrible run around and it cost him a lot of money and he never was able to get his interview scheduled again through the service center. I had to have it done via email request. The Embassy graciously scheduled him and the interview finally took place. The Embassy is helpful, but I would not recommend attempting to use the Call Center/Service Center through Voda Phone. They cost over 1 LE per MINUTE and it is a very time consuming call if you can actually get anyone to help you.

Took FOREVER and things were very unorganized. We were told to go here, there, here, there....then we sat and waiting for 3 hours for the interview. Once called to the window, the women proceeded to ask my fiance about my children and why he would want to marry a woman with 2 kids, she did not ask much about our relationship at all. Wanted to see the pictures my kids sent to him, not my letters! LOL. She was a bit snouty and to me, asked many questions that did not pertain to our relationship at all.
