I know how being 'trapped' feels... sad.png  sad.png

So sorry you're going through all this... Stay strong! This nightmare has an end and hopefully soon.

 

Browse around the forum about these expedite requests. I do not know much about it...

I don't think your neck and back problems would be enough for an expedite though. They might just tell you, 'Ok then, go back to the US. By yourself.". Know what I mean?

Anyhow, maybe start your own thread and ask more knowledgeable people... So many helpful people here, it's amazing! smile.png

 

Your NOA1 email should be coming soon. Pretty much everyone here got theirs after a few days smile.png

 

Can you get blueberries in Egypt? smile.png

Just curious, why did you decide to not do direct consular filing? Or have you not been there long enough to qualify? Either way, good luck! Lucky that you get to wait it out with your hubby! smile.png

they dont allow direct consular filing anymore :( and thank you yes i am very lucky to be with my husband :)

Alex is alot safer than Cairo I know that much right now and yes I knew about the DOS but I couldnt be without my husband any longer I missed him so much and I knew he would make sure I am ok and he has smile.png but this staying in the house is getting to me i need to move more than i am being able to and I also have neck and back problems so I really need to be back home asap to see the doctor on a monthly basis. I can only take so much pain sad.png I read on uscis the first step is to call NCSC and make a expedite request so i will try to get a hold of them as soon as possible.. I am sure I have to wait until I receive the notification from them that they got my petition only reason I know they do have it is because of fedex tracking smile.png Again thanks blueberry pancake smile.png and by the way I love your username you are making me hungry lol

Thanks for the info blueberry pancake Its definitely worth a try :) And on the safe part our flat is on the ninth floor and my husband wont take any risks but I do feel a little like I am in prison :( when we do go out it is pure chaos most of the time if you dont watch where you go you might get ran over because they have no pedestrians have the right of way laws or pretty much any traffic laws ranting33va.gif  so i pretty much just stay in the flat most of the time... and yes bangirluk hopefully not to long of a wait :)

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedureshow do I cancel this whole process and retrive my valuables??

To each is their own but i would just like to say if you give up right now you are crazy..I am in Egypt right now with my husband been here for 2 months life is not so easy here we constantly have to be careful due to the violent outbursts from the muslim brotherhood that happens at any given time..there is no work here for my husband they shut the electricity off all the time sometimes for hours. some places have no garbage service so it is just piled up on the streets..I was just like u didnt want to live without him anymore so i came to wait it out with him i dont regret it but it is not easy at all and i want us to be out of here as soon as possible....i am pregnant now so i will be leaving in december to seek medical care for my pregnancy because it is definately not up to standards here..I ask for my case to be expedited on humanitarian grounds wrote my senators and congress they are sending letter on our behalf hoping that it goes through if not we both know that it is better for our future to be in United states because it is gonna take a long time for Egypt to recover from what has happened here..good luck whatever u decide

when my husband gets his interview does he need to have his personal documents translated into english? And if so can any certified translator do it for us or does it have to be done by the one the embassy uses as our marriage certificate did? Thanks :)

Hi friends was wondering if anyone knows exactly what address my husbands packet will go to as i am currently here in egypt with him but i will be going home soon due to finding out i am pregnant. Our i-130 has his home address on it where he lives with his family but on the second page it asks for a address where you last have lived together so i put that address as well to make sure they know we have lived together.. just wanting to make sure my husband is prepared for everything and if i need to contact nvc before i leave. Thanks any advice is greatly appreciated :)

I sent a copy of mine with I-130 u should never send original unless asked I am inquiring about my spouses as his is the nvc will be asking for at this stage. And don't they have our whole file does uscis not send the whole thing to nvc?
luvwillprevailFemaleEgypt2013-10-30 12:04:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresDS260?????

also i would like to add that this what i used to get my american passport and had no problem and also what i sent with my i-130 aslo this is what i found on the web n it says nothing bout birthdates of parents..

 

  • Long form - legal size or two page form with details of the person, their parents', place of birth, certification by the parents, signature and stamp of the issuing agency or department. Recent forms are in English and French.
  • Short form or card - provides name, birth date, place of birth, date of registration, date of issue, registration number, certificate number, signature of registrar general
  • The passport office tells everyone to get a long form because then there is no doubt that it will be accepted. Some states have short forms that comply with passport requirements, and therefore they are acceptable. Basically, as long as the birth certificate has your parents' names, it will be accepted.
  •  LONG FORM birth certificate will show the name of the child and the names of both parents. If only one parent was declared, then it will show the child's name & the mother's name. 

    A SHORT FORM birth certificate will show ONLY the child's name. 

    For an adult (age 16 or over) a short form should be fine. However, for someone under the age of 16, parental consent is needed. There is no way to know who should be giving parental consent without a long form birth certificate showing parent(s) names.

So regarding translations they are not needed as long as long as they are in english or in the language of my husbands country...some people say translate some people say u don't have to? And also on the birth cert what do they mean by short and long form?
