Good Luck!! :dancing::dancing::dancing:

Hi Chris,

So here's the update, it's not good news but not entirely bad news either.

My interview went really well, she asked questions about me and hubby, how we met, what hubby does for a living, when/where we got married however she refused the visa as they have not yet received my medical results!!!!!!! As you can imagine I am FUMING at Knightsbridge as I kept asking them whether the results would get there in time to which they kept answering yes, I even called everyday to move the medical earlier but no joy.

So now the lady said they will wait for my medical results to comes through and as long as that is all ok they will review my case and send me through my visa and sealed envelope (which she told me not to open) she has also kept my passport.

Straight after this I went to Knightsbridge doctors and they told me the results have been sent and will be with the embassy by lunchtime today, the delay was due to the bank holiday ?

I know this is in a way good news but I am again back to the waiting game as I have no idea when I will get my visa now and definitely throws out my plans for travelling on 17th. This whole process is so upsetting which the doctors and embassy staff can never understand unless they go through it themselves!! ?

Has anyone on this forum come across this situation before?

Hi Dimple,

Wow I bet you were fuming!! When did you have your medical??

I wouldn't give up hope about travelling on the 17th!! It may be tight but also possible if they get the results today and review them straight away it may still be possible. I would keep checking the CEAC site to see when it changes to Issued! That means it has been printed and is the last step before they give it to the courier for delivery! Hers's the link if you don't have it:

https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx?eQs=o/iS8zDpeAKjMWCuebHqOw== - I'm sure you are already checking this site for updates.

Hang in there it will happen!!

Best Wishes,

Chris & Silvia

Thank you for the encouraging words Chris.

I had my medical on 30th April. To be honest it was always on my mind about results not reaching embassy but they kept re-assuring me.

The turnaround was so quick I got my interview date in the evening,scheduled an appointment the followin morning and next available slot was 30th so even I I wanted I couldn't have changed this.

Hubby already beat me to it and checked, it says 'Administrative Processing'.

I'm just praying, all I can do I guess!

Hi Dimple - well lets hope that they do get the results today and review it before the end of the week!! To give you a bit more potential good news at 1:00pm today I got an email from the Embassy visa team saying that they had handed over my documents to the courier. I used the tracking number supplied and it says it will be ready for collection tomorrow. I opted to collect from the nearest depot so I didn't miss them or have to stay in for a day or two waiting for them to deliver. So not including the weekend & Bank Holiday my passport will have taken three working days to get to me!! Friday last week was my interview as you know!! So keep checking the CEAC site to say it's issued and then look out for the e-mail headed:

U.S. DoS Visa system return travel document shipment notice - that's the one that tells you the couriers have the documents!!

Best wishes,

Chris & Slvia
