Visa not at pick up location

[C.D 1]

We had our interview Nov 12th. We were told to pick up our visa on 19th. She went there and was told it was not available for pick up. 22nd she got a call stating they needed her at the consulate for a fingerprint reprint because there was a mix up (how this is possible I dont understand)!!

She went on the 23rd, and during the fingerprint retake she was asked if she was giving back her passport (My first thought was WTH will they be asking if her passport was giving back to her when she was approved)- She responded NO. The CO gave her another letter stating to go back and pick it up on the 30th. Needless to say, its still not there as of today.

Next action plan Call DOS, and go back to the Consulate.

Anyone else had this problem recently? or finished their interview after the 12th and had any issues picking up their Visa? This is very frustrating

Yes it's frustrating and sorry to hear what you are going thru..People here on VJ that had interview same time as you have already picked up there visa. Please call DOS to be sure you are not on AP.

Lagos is famous for having issues with their machine that atatches visas to the passport but the request for new fingerprints would make me think that you have a near match for someone on " a list" and they needed new ones to eliminate the issue. That being said you have probably landed in AP and it will take a while to straighten things out.

Don't worry. As you can see from my timeline, we were told to pick up the visa on a specific date and it wasn't ready until about a month later! They said nothing was wrong with our case and we weren't put into AP, they just had a delay. In any case, thank God delay is not denial!

So true Cheymo! Its almost one month (in 4 days) - and after 4 consulate visits while traveling between states (1 interview, 1 fingerprint redo, 2 inquiries), 1 DOS call, 1 written but unsent correspondence - It finally, came with no rhyme or reason whatsoever for the delay. Thank God anyway!
