Hi guys, I'm really sorry I haven't been active here and that I haven't updated the spreadsheet in so long. I have been reading the comments every few weeks, but lack of time and depression about this process have kept me from updating anything. I can do the updates this weekend though. Anyways, we're in the same boat as Canada Wolf and a few others - after we saw the posts here saying that some people had received an email about their files being transferred to Cairo, we emailed CCP-O last week and they told us that our file had been transferred to Cairo for processing too. Also, the subject line of the 2nd email we received said, "Re: Please extend the medical for case ####," something like that, so I guess they're extending my husband's medical. I guess it's a good sign, but honestly I feel nothing, we still have no idea when this process will end. And knowing that Cairo is doing the next step is little comfort when so much of the way this country runs is defined by stupidity, corruption, and ineptitude (no offense, but I have been living here in Egypt for two years and they've been the hardest two years of my life). Of course, we can say the same about the way CIC is being run! Anyways, we will see... hanshoof. Good luck to everyone and congratulations to those who have their visas. Also, I know my husband and I are in a more lucky/privileged position than those who can't wait together, I'm sorry if my message comes off as too complain-y. I have so much respect and admiration for those of you who are waiting apart!
