Sorry I haven't been around lately. I have an eye infection and only checked the forums really quick every now and then. Congrats to all who got NOA2/Visa while I was gone! Good luck to everyone who is still waiting

I just came back from the consulate in Frankfurt and we got approved! :) :) Now I'm sitting in the hotel trying hard not to cry. I'm shaking so hard D: My train doesnt go for another 4 hours.

Congrats my friend. hope your eye get's better soon.

Yes. I'm hoping the fact that I called so soon. (It was received yesterday and a case number assigned) that just the very act of packaging it and preparing for being sent to the consulate is considered additional processing...Really hope that is all it is. I'll call again Friday I think...And hope for some good news then. Still worried though. I just didn't want to hear those words at all....Anybody have any insight?

That's exactly what they told me... I called the day after NVC received it and was given the Case Number... Then when I called back again, I was told it was in administrative or additional processing... one or the other... don't remember now. But then a few days later, they told me it was sent to Moscow... So it appears they all go through at least this little "AP" before they are sent off.

Now if Moscow could just get us in the system... As of yesterday, they said they did not have the file... and I want to pay and schedule the interview.

Everyone goes through some sort of AP because an 'administrator processes' the case. Administrator can mean anything from a simple clerk to an adjudication officer. Processing the papers in itself is a form of administration, and the terms interchange.

I wouldn't worry too much about it! not now anyway!

Yup bro! I think we both had the exact same experience. And because we're all so visa savvy here at VJ we sometimes find out aspects of the process that others do not realize. I called this morning just to follow up from yesterday and they acted like that nothing is out of the ordinary and they expect it to leave NVC very soon. so I'll probably try to resist the urge to follow up until Monday and hopefully then some good news.

My fiance is in London now and his medical is in less than 2 hours. I just hope everything goes smoothly so we can get our interview scheduled quickly. They've had his Packet 3 for over a week now since we had to delay the medical, so this should be the last thing they need. I'm hoping for an interview date in a few weeks since people have been lucky lately!

[photomile 101]

I'm sure it'll go fine! Best of luck. He will be in and out before you know it!

Thanks! His appointment is close to 3:00 UK time so I'm hoping to hear how it went before I take my lunch today.

Wow. I had more to say about your wait time and those still waiting with or without RFEs, but I don't want to be negative. I just find it a shame. I hope everything goes faster for you now and you can get done quickly. My heart goes out to everybody still waiting.

That's great news! Congrats on your visa approval!

The medical is done My fiance was told he needs a letter from his doctor because he was briefly on medicine for depression last year. Does anyone know if this could slow down getting the interview?

[skiptex 225]

is there a FEE that is to be paid to embassy before INTERVIEW can be set??

[Knope2012 10]

I posted my question in the UK regional forum too, and it appears we will have to wait until we get the letter from the doctor. I know we all get frustrated, but I've had it today. Every step of the way so far, we've had some sort of roadblock, and now we have another one. Now I'm thinking that by the time we do get the doctor to send the letter and our interview is scheduled, they'll be back to scheduling them 2 months out. Today is another day where I think that it would've been much easier for me to go to the UK than the other way around. Of course, with their new immigration policies, that's not even possible now. Sorry, I just feel like venting. I should consider myself lucky; this would be much worse if either of us had any previous marriages or kids

[photomile 101]

They don't forward medical results to the embassy until about two or three days later. Get him to talk to his GP now and he can get it mailed on to the medical place as soon as they do it. Most GP\s in England should do this fairly quickly. At the worst, you're looking at an extra week provided he gets on the phone NOW. So don't worry too much
