Embassy taking too long to return passports

[rojasac 0]

We had our inverview by June the 10th, everything went good except that we didnt had the medical reports yet and got a yellow paper, we got our medical exam on the 16th, went through medical examination, doctor went on vacation (another delay) for 2 weeks! came back and had our medical reports sent by aug 16 with passports, the secretary of the doctor DIDNT sent my medical report (she did with my parent's), by august 20th i got a call from the embassy telling me that they are waiting for my report and wonder why they didnt sent it all toguether, went to the doctor's office and the secretary told me that my medical report was ready long time ago and i had to pick it up personally and send it by myself trough dhl... the embassy got everything by august 21, sent an email some days after and they just said they got the medical report and that the case is being processed. by sept the 4th i got no news yet, does anyone has an idea how long it takes for them to return the passports?

Thanks

hi,

The Embassy will return back your Passport through post. Id you need earlier, you can request the embassy & speak to the officer & explain to get the passport.

Sorry to be blunt or appear rude -- that's not my intent; I am just giving a different perspective.

You're lucky, first of all, that the Embassy actually called you to tell you something that they had already requested was still missing -- many Embassies would not do that, they would just put your file in a cabinet and wait for the information to be sent. (They have no way of knowing, for example, that you did the medical on the same day as your parents, so wouldn't automatically expect it at the same time). It took you more than two months to get the Embassy information that was required at the time of the interview (not all you fault, of course, but it still was about 10 weeks). If I understood the dates in your post, it's only been about 10 work days since they have had all of the information.

While we all wish our case was the most important one at any time, they have a lot of other cases they are working on, and new ones every day -- all of which deserve full attention on the day of their interview, too. It's hard, but try to be patient for a little longer and give them some time for your case. There are people who have been waiting a LOT longer that would love to "only" have it have been a couple of weeks.
