After going to Cairo for our interview it was a hugeeee relief. I have to say though, that the staff were a lot more polite and accomidateing. We also had a very good experience at the American Center in Alexandria while the Consular was there at the end of the month. We met a few people who were in a simular situation, except most of the wives when back home (unlike me lol). Husband was treated very well and kind durring his interview which is a huge relief to those who are so stressed out about going.
