This is a B2 ESTA non qualifying, previous arrest. I had an appointment took all papers etc. I was interviewed and told refused but consular would recommend waiver of refusal and that it would go to Home Land security and be about four months. I was not given any paperwork. My research has stated that months is about right and when Home Land have confirmed visa then my passport will called for visa added.

 

is there anyone at London embassy I can call, I have not found a number ? 

This is a classic case of a poster not getting useful answers because important details were left out of the original post. It’s not AP at all, it’s a refusal with a waiver in process. That sheds a whole new light on the fact that you were given a timeframe, and why (boiler correctly points out people are not usually given a timeframe with AP because it varies so much). I doubt anyone can add anything at this stage to what you were told by the embassy.

Why not add this bit to the January 23 post.. and save a page-full of comments in the dark?

Evening.

 

I have been a member of so many forums where advice is given and no update, so I thought I'd let you know what the outcome was.

 

23.11.18   Interview, told would be recommended for waiver and to wait, would need to be passed to Homeland Security.

1.3.19        Email received saying approved please send passport.

 

Thanks for everyone's help
