The "administrative processing" Black hole

[cyggie 3]

Hi Guys!

So to cut a long story short - I applied for an Immigrant Visa via my husband, intially refused, but reccomended for a waiver.

Once waiver was approved we were asked to book a new medical ( which we did) and send in my passport and new acpo (which has been done).

Due to an additional letter needed from my GP, my medical results were sent in a bit later than they normally would have ( a week later).

Last week, i got a phone call from the Immigrant Visa Unit in London, telling me all i had to do was wait for a phone call from them,after which they would give me a date to come to the embassy swear a new oath ( apparently my old one had expired). They also asked me to update my D260, which i promptly did.

My research tells me after this point(once i have had an interview), it should take 7-10 working days to recieve my passport back ( please correct me if im wrong)

Its been a week since that phone call and i havent heard from the IVU at this point - should i be worried? Is there any chance this could drag on for months? I thought i had been basically approved, and had handed in my notice at work!

 

However i have been hearing horror stories about people being stuck in AP for months at a time - surely this cant be the case after a waiver has been approved? I mean what could they be checking that hasnt already been disclosed/approved?

Any advice/info appreciated
