My wife received the attached (edited) letter from the consulate. It begins by saying the visa cannot be issued, if we do not respond to an RFE. The request is for her to bring her passport to the consulate. First time this has been requested, after over four months in AP.

I am assuming that she would not be asked for her passport unless they issue the visa. Has anyone seen this letter before? Am I simply being over-critical of a poorly worded form letter? Both the police check and medical have another 5 weeks left before they expire...so if we move fast we can avoid having to pay the fees and wait...wait...wait more.

18 months since NOA1, 13 since NOA2, and 4 in AP. Yeah, I am ready for this part of the journey to end so we can get on...

I am not sure if the jpeg uploaded. If not, it's a form letter in English and VN. After some typical legalise (threatening of course) it instructs my wife to take her passport to the consulate. Signed by a consular officer.

She's headed to the consulate just after noon local time, so we'll know more soon enough. Certainly, sooner than it will take me to figure out how to successfully upload a picture.

I was expecting a letter that said "Your visa is approved. Drop off the passport so we can give it to you." Seems simple enough. What we got was a bit confusing and completely underwhelming.

Anytime. Very nice. They are saying they need more documents to finish and that document is the passport they will need to attach the visa in it. Many congrats again. Where's the party?

Good news - the visa was approved. She went to the consulate, waited for an hour, and was pulled into a group of two other applicants. All were told their visas were approved. My wife decided to spend the $6 or so to get rush mailing of the passport. We were told she'll receive her passport with the visa in a week. Therefore, she'll be in LA by the end of June.

Best of luck to all on their process/journey.

My wife received her visa 6 calendar days from the time she left it at the consulate (they promised a week). She paid an extra fee for the quicker turnaround (still was only $6 total). She did not have a tracking number, but since the visa arrived in the time allotted we didn't make calls (I was ready to call the next day, but she talked me down).

Best of luck!

it's had been 8 days since I left my passport there and ceac site update daily with READY status. There were never offer me an extra fees $6 as you mention above. I'm a bit worried since your wife received her visa in 6 days from the days she left her passport there.
