Dhaka Embassy Post-Interview questions

[boostrz 0]

My wife just had her interview a couple of days ago at the Dhaka, Bangladesh Embassy and I have some questions remaining.

1) someone (presumably a clerk or assistant) told my wife that her birth certificate was no good and to bring another one, but later on the CO said the visa is approved and she was not given any form for additional documents. Is this something I should be worried about? Furthermore, the NVC case status site lists my wife's visa as "Issued; passport will be ready in a few days, etc"

2) the medical result envelope which was originally sent to the embassy was returned to my wife, but was unsealed...should that be sealed?

3) they collected all her original documents (marriage, birth, police clearance) and did not return them (they did not take any photocopies either), when will those be returned?

4) they did not ask about or take the (2) passport photos, but returned the ones I sent to the NVC.

2) the medical result envelope which was originally sent to the embassy was returned to my wife, but was unsealed...should that be sealed? Go back to Embassy and get them to reseal it.

3) they collected all her original documents (marriage, birth, police clearance) and did not return them (they did not take any photocopies either), when will those be returned? Most will say anything turned into the embassy will generally not be returned, that's why always get duplicate copies of everything for your own personal use.

4) they did not ask about or take the (2) passport photos, but returned the ones I sent to the NVC. Not sure; but you're probably okay.

Passport may be ready to be picked up / after we finally were approved it only took 3 days to pick it up

I would just like to clarify that I am not referring to the medical packet that goes from the doctor to the embassy; that was sent over by the doctor's office. the envelope they returned to us is addressed from the doctor office to the embassy and just had a piece of clear tape on the flap, which was put on very poorly.

Email the embassy. Sometimes they just forget. They told my wife she was approved. After not hearing anything back from the embassy for 2 weeks I emailed the embassy and they said "We're sorry. We mistakenly put your case in Administrative Review. We'll review your case ASAP and you should hear something back in a week." 2 days later got an email saying the passport is issued and is being process to be picked up from my pickup location.

This process got worse than it used to be. Sometimes they just can't keep up with all the non-immigrant visa applicants.
