Here i am..i hope to be interviewed in march..i almost refresh my e-mail page every 1 hour in business days ???

I have wished for more transparency through this whole process. I wish they would tell us if we've missed out on March interviews or if they are even doing interviews in March. More than anything, it's the uncertainty that gets me.

Hi So_ma, I noticed the same thing about the scheduling page being down lately.

I asked my husband to try to call Cairo embassy tomorrow to see if anyone will tell him what month schedule they are on. I'll let everyone know if we find out anything.

He called Cairo Embassy today and they wouldn't tell him anything. Not if they were still scheduling, when the next scheduling starts, nothing. I guess they have a reputation to uphold of being unhelpful and uncommunicative. I called NVC last week and the lady I talked to didn't have any information.

K1 here paper was sent nov 30th and still waiting

Hi..... I see that you got your packet 4 today and the interview is in only 4 days, is that right? They only gave you 4 days to prepare for the interview and medical?

Also, you mentioned that you sent your packet 3 on November 30th, do you know when they received it though? I'm trying to know if they have started scheduling for December already or not.

Thanks a lot for your help.

Yeah as you can see they gave me only 4 days! not enough for anything and I'll have to send the medical results later after the interview through Aramex.

and yes I sent my papers through Aramex November 30th the status changed December 2nd so I think that was the date they received my papers, I'm not sure which month they working on right now but you can email them they usually response in 24 hours.

I hope that helps.

I have received an email from the embassy counselor Mo (I guess he is the only person answering emails) that they are working on beginning of November papers. But I guess your papers were different or you just got lucky:)

I have started that case last year in January so i guess I'm the oldest here!

Hmm. How do you know which counselor replies? I always get a semi-generic unsigned response! Which email address do you send your questions to? I use this one: ConsularCairoIV@state.gov
