Went through customs, sent over to secondary processing to make sure paperwork in order and address for green card was correct. The officers were very pleasant, they asked my husband some questions very similar to what was on his visa application: occupation, address in egypt, whether he has been to other countries and for how long. the whole process took about 10 minutes and was very straightforward. |

| Embassy Review : |
Interview went very well for my husband. His appointment was at 7:30am, he arrived around 6 or 6:30am and was second in line. They started letting people in at 8am.
He said the officer was a young man, very friendly nice and only asked him a few questions:
where does your wife live?
what is your wife's job?
when did you get married?
do you have children?
how old is your child?
have you traveled before?
why did you travel?
how long were you out of the country?
After that he said congratulations, or rather "almost congratulations" since my husband's medical results are still pending. He gave him back his passport and a paper that said the embassy needs the results of of his medical exam. He gave him another piece of paper that said his visa has been approved.
My husband was very happy and said it was an easy experience. Once he gets his medical results he will send them back to the embassy with his passport to receive his visa. Apparently there is an issue with the embassy approved hospitals in Egypt, they are updating lab equipment and things have been delayed (my husband was told this by both the consular officer and the hospital itself). All around it was a good experience for him and he is very relieved it is over. |

Timeline Comments: 2NVC requested Petitioner Marriage Termination document on 3/5/2020. Uploaded and resubmitted documents same day.
Hi there, Congratulations. I finally came to a forum where I can find any information, I'm an family visa through my US citizen father, DQ Aug 20, do you know how can I know what is the date the embassy is processing my category or can you link me with anyone like me? That would help me a lot, thank you
*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
** Not all cases are transfered
