Is there a time limit on how long you have to get evidence back to the embassy after an interview? I saw somebody from a different embassy say they had 30 days, but Allan was never told this - and it wasn't on his blue slip. The courier is supposed to deliver his paperwork to the embassy tomorrow - working day 27.

I'm hoping that's fine...should we call the embassy to let them know it's on it's way? Or will it meet up with his records immediately tomorrow? I remember when our petition was forwarded to them - it took weeks for it to be logged, I'd hate to miss the 30 day period while everything was in the same place - just not logged...

My blue slip says: IF YOU FAIL TO TAKE THE ACTION REQUESTED WITHIN ONE YEAR FOLLOWING VISA DENIAL.... BLAH BLAH ....REQUIRES THAT YOUR APPLICATION BE CANCELLED.

I think you're good :)

Also look at my timeline, delivered Tuesday, arrived Weds, left embassy Thurs and visa in hand by Friday.

And and and, the DX man just turns up and takes it, he doesn't take any other paperwork or make you fill anything in (if it's like mine at least). The passport seemed to magically connect with everything when it got there.

I know I harp on this alot, but there is so much information on the London website if you would just click every link and read things from London over what some other embassy in another country did.

What if my immigrant visa is refused?

If your visa is refused under the provisions of Section 221(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act for lack of documentation, you will have twelve months from the date of refusal in which to present the missing documents and enter the United States on the immigrant visa.

Yes, thank you, I did see this. However, I was unsure as to whether or not that pertained to us b/c the interviewer assured Allan that it wasn't a refusal - so if he said it's not a refusal, then would the refusal explanation be what I look for? If the Embassy said the same thing as their website - then it would be helpful - and I wouldn't have asked for clarification here. I'm sure it said this on the "blue slip" but I didn't think to ask Allan what the the heading was until it was out for delivery b/c I didn't see the other post which caused me to question the time limit.
