Hi

can anyone advise please, I got a phonecall fron the Embassy saying my I-601 had been approved for a CR-1 but needed a new medical and police certificate as the old ones had expired. I duly had a new certificate and medical and the embassy received both on or about 15th jan, my passport was collected by DX on 15th Jan. It is now 22nd Jan and still no passport returned, should I be worried? and is there a way to ask anyone about progress or delays?

Yhanks for replies Derek

They won't necessarily get right on your case the day your things arrive. Consider yourself in a queue of backlog cases to be worked on. You may contact the embassy with questions using this form http://london.usembassy.gov/niv/visa_contact_form.html

There isn't really a way to call them and get anybody in the Immigrant Visa Unit to talk to you.

Hahaha..Super Bowl. With having to overcome a denial (since you indicated an i-601 appeal was approved) be thankful you are going to get there at all.

I have no idea how long. Ask in the contact form. You can check your status online and when it changes to "issued" that means the visa is printed. Then up to maybe 5-10 days to have it delivered by courier. https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx?
