Ayman thank u ,

Wow i didnt think that it ll take that much comparing to my friend he was also married in cairo to his usncitizen wife and then they travelled to usa and didi the papers from there it took 3 months and he got the social security no and green card is on the way ! That because he had already a tourist visa before marriage so he was able to travel after getting married , i thought i can do that too but a friend told me no shortcuts u have to go for cr1 ,


Good luck for shure i ll be back with more questions after sendind the i130

Thanks

Middle East and North AfricaPacket 3 for egypt filers

thanks wendy some response is better then none, right? lol. i am so frustrated with embassy they are slow to respond to my emails then ask for our number and address to send another packet and no call from them nothing sent so far. we can get his medical monday but they are asking for case #. no replies here lol, wow i am on a unlucky streak and just want to go home


Sorry, I am not at that stage yet and am sure I will have the same question soon. Many of us have difficulty receiving packages, finding an address is not a simple task, even if you've already received in the past.

I do hope you get an answer soon, let us know.

Good luck!
