A quick update

 

My sister had interview on 14th March 2018 and she got 221g checked with new joint sponsor.. She mailed twice to embassy but got same reply that you need to submit new joint sponsor. Her last update on ceas was on 4th June which was itself and she kept checking meanwhile but couldn't arrange new joint sponsor.. Today on 16th July ceas shows her visa issued.... 🙂 Quite a strange thing.. Hy na

as per process, most of the cases are resolved with in 60 days while in AP, but there are majority cases that go beyond 60 days. assuming interview went well and required documents are submitted with in time so you need to wait at least 60 days after submission and hopefully will get answer with in 60 days. in case, embassy does not respond in 60 days then our lawyer can follow up with embassy after 60 days, there is not much you can do except waiting and praying.

I would send them inquiry just to let them know that i did submit documents just FYI.. if they see it then they may response you to wait 60 days, and don't you submit the documents through courier service with original sig? or they advise you to submit through website?

not required, but if you want to reach to them for higher assurance then you have every right to do so.

have patience and faith in DHS systems, they are also humans so mistakes can happen at times, so after submission of new documents they at least need 60 days (by book) to re-evaluate everything in context. by the way as per your note, you seems to be an indian, so country to country criteria might be different along with dealing individual case. all the best and nothing much anyone (including applicant can do) except to pray and being hopeful. good luck.

Hi Silverhawk,

 

thanks for your reply, last week on Friday we received another vague email saying your passport is being returned. We went to their Dropbox center. They sent my wife’s passport with another 221g form asking for the same document which we already submitted 3 weeks ago. The document collection center employee was also confused. We had an extra original copy (luckily my wife had asked for 2 of them) of PCC which we submitted along with her passport right then. The employee asked me to send email to support at the consulate. Today I received a phone call from the consulate apologizing for the error and explaining that they don’t need new PCC. They also send an email. Since then my status went from READY back to AP. This is so confusing and annoying. What does this mean? Any idea ?
