My wife past her Sputum test and finished up her medical on the 27th of January and we re-scheduled her interview on the 3rd of February. Her interview went well and the Consul told her that it was not a problem that SLEC has not sent the Medical results and told her she was approved and kept her Passport. Its been 8 days and we are still showing AP on the CEAC website. I know 8 days is not that long and I am sorry for those that have been stuck in AP....I am trying to get information for planning purposes etc. and see when we might get her VISA and buy the plane ticket. Anyone have the same experience and could you share your thoughts and the outcome?

Apparently they do another background check and then they send something to Washington DC for approval (told to me by the consulate in Costa Rica last month) it usually only takes 24-48 hours. Your embassy could be lazy or just really busy or maybe it's not complete yet... don't make any travel arrangements until you have that visa in your hands. . You just need to wait. I just went through this. I know it's annoying.

Thanks. I did not know they do another back ground check. I was thinking it was the medical results causing the delay. If we do not get her visa soon I cant buy the ticket until March 1st due to bills etc.
