Dear Masem,

Is that normal for that long delay? What is the time frame for cairo visa office to respond.

 

[masem]

Hi Reksa,

Well by checking a lot of cases online, comparing and analyzing the cases close to us i conclude that they should send the medical request within 4 months + 20 days , for people in the batch before us they got the medical request within only 2 - 3 months, and for the batch before them they got it within 6 - 7 months,

In summary you should get the medical request maximum within 2 weeks,

when u get the medical request u will also get passport request both to be sent within 30 days ( Some few case were given 45 days ), don't forget to pay the RPRF, this will speedup ur case,

N.B.: Don't consider the online status as it is not always accurate, i know some people who got the visa and their online status still shows in processing, anyway in general the online status change every Monday,

Keep in touch and let me know if u need anything,

masem

Hello Reksa

Thanks for your reply you make me little relieved but dont you think we are little bit behind in average time I hope not.

Dear Masem / Hamdigalal,

we are in the same boat, I not sure if it is real delay from the embassy in Cairo or what? .. Do you know some other cases with delayed
"Application Received By Visa Office".

 

[Mike_MRK]

Hi Reksa, Masem, and Hamdi,

I believe that all the delays are from the Embassy Side, as far as I heard there a lot of traffic goin up there which causes the delay, suck that a lot of new applicants to process..

Regards..
