Name check and final review

[Rich and Lenochka 0]

Once again I received some great advice here on VJ; e-mailing the embassy resulted in a quick reply which "kind of" answered my question about the rather lengthy delay in receiving our visa after the embassy interview.

We are being held up by "name check and final review". Not quite sure what that means, but it has been 15 days since a slam dunk interview and DHL still hasn't picked up our passport/visa packet from the embassy to deliver to my fiancee.

Due to a family medical emergency our interview was "expedited" and moved up by about 6 weeks. Great, we thought. The extra time would allow my fiancee to spend those six weeks with her ailing daughter, who is married to a USC in New York. But of course it didn't quite turn out that way. While we were expecting Beata to have her visa by now, we didn't know that the consulate was just shuffling the timeline around. Instead of name check, review of documents, interview, visa, it looks like Beata had her interview moved up but the rest of the process just got tacked on behind the interview. Could it be that we may end up waiting until the middle of October anyways?

Don't know what else to do. Her daughter is quite ill, and I had letters from physicians and hospital administrators stating that her daughter's recovery would be greatly aided by Beata's presence. I was happy that this seemed to get a compassionate response from the consular officials. Maybe their intent was good, but this sure feels like we are being screwed with.

Oh well...

Try not to worry. You should be fine and get the visa soon
