my parents had their interview on Dec 13, everything went well but at the end they were told to bring an additional document and submit their passports together with that paper in order to get the visas. That additional document was a police certificate from another country. Long story short, on Dec 29 they submitted everything through the local courier. I was under the impression, and so were they, that this is a "done deal' and would only take a couple of days. Well, we were wrong. After numerous calls and emails to the consulate the answer is the same that is on the ceac :Your visa case is currently undergoing necessary administrative processing. 

The consulate even went further to scare the hell out of me by telling me it might take weeks or even months to issue a visa 

 

Has anybody has anything close to this disappointment and frustration? I feel like the entire process went pretty smooth and now the consulate is giving us a hard time for no reason

 

Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

thank you

Hi how did they know your mom had a small stroke in the past ?hope it goes well with your parents .  I thi the results of the blood tests etc come after 2 days and they do the physical exam after getting the results 

yes NVC set the interview date. Good luck

They saw it through her eye tests. Somehow there's something she couldn't see even with a glasses, they then asked her if she ever had a stroke before. She was asked for her maintenance medication and was told to come back after getting some medical certificate from a Neurologist. She came back with it after couple days and the doctor cleared her after seeing the paperwork that she brought. She's now ready for her interview on the 30th. Sadly my father still has to do some examination. I thought he was only going back get the final result, but he was told that they saw something inside his lungs and have to do the 3 day examination. I'm Happy and sad at the same time.

Same happened to my parents. My dad has to go to do the spotum test. While my mom got cleared. Is your mom going to wait for your dad to be cleared? Or she will go on with her interview without your dad?

Has anyone inquired what would happen in case of a Government shutdown?

Hey everyone! I've been busy recently and didn't have the time to update you all. 

 

My Mom's police clearance was received by the US Embassy last December 27. Lo and behold, after a few days, I received an email from them requesting for my husband's I-864, tax forms and W-2s. I was so aggaravated. First of all, I intended to sponsor my Mom by myself since I make enough money according to the poverty guidelines they specified. Last October, a month before my Mom's interview, they asked for my husband's I-864A and I complied, and now they're asking for another document. I was so upset. Of course I called the US Embassy, unfortunately, if you call their call center, they can't provide you with the specifics of your case. I learned it a few days after calling every single day. Their call center escalated it blah blah blah but never heard anything back. So finally I sent them an email and they responded a week after saying they want me to submit the documents. They didn't even address my other questions. UGH! Talk about customer service! Anyway, I just sent the documents to my mom and she should get it tomorrow and send it to the US Embassy via 2GO. I'm really really really hoping this is the last stretch as I can't wait to finally be with my mom. All my fingers are crossed!

OMG! I am experiencing the same exact thing!!! My mom was told after her interview that once she submitted the police clearance they requested, she'll be done and will get her visa. But no, they did ask for another document for us to submit. It's so frustrating! Good luck to you and your parents. Let me know when you hear back from the embassy.

My mom will continue with her interview. Things are complicated as I am going to be deploying in a couple of months for half a year and won't be back until next year. I am sure we are not supposed to let the medical result nor the interview/visa to expire. My fist plan was to pick them up at the same time, but things have changed. I guess my dad will be flying by himself.
