Has anyone who resubmitted medical upon embassy request have had luck in getting a visa? Trying to understand a fair estimate of timeline. 

The Isb embassy asked for my husband's medical and it took approximately 2 weeks for his visa to get issued. You can call NVC to confirm if the consular section received the medical. I called them and they told me the exact date embassy received the medical. They even have access to consular notes.

Oh really .. I didnt know about this .. Can you tell the NVC number .. If i call tomorrow as the embassy is closed for Eid and 14th August, still they can tell me the date embassy received medical ??

Phone number is 603-334-0700

 

The NVC (national visa center) is located in USA so they wont be off on Eid. You can call them. After my husband submitted his medical, his case updated 2 times. The first time I called, NVC, I asked if my husbands medical was received. I also asked why my case updated (that guided her toward the right direction since whenever the case updates, the consular officer documents notes in CEAC)

The lady was nice and she told me the date the medical was received and that is why my case updated. 

 

The second time my case updated I called again and the first person that picked up didnt give me any info. It really depends who you reach. I decided to call again and got a different person. That person was nice. I asked about why my case updated and he said its says in "case under final adjudication". 

 

This led me to beleive that whenever your case updates, the consular officer documents something in CEAC and workers at NVC can read it. You just hve to talk to a nice person who will give you a little info. Good luck, let us know if it works for u too.

If your case is in AP, and u havent been asked to submit medical, then NVC will just say your case is in AP. This is only for people who have progress on their case and have been asked to submit something like medical.

Hi my mother's case is under AP for 4 months (she was a member of a communist party for her employment). Is it okay to ask Congresswoman in my district to ask on my behalf? Is it too early?

I have been contacting the Consulate every 3 weeks (after 60 days) but not getting any informative answer as expected. 

I think her case was probably only updated once right after we submitted the DS-5535 form (not counting when I inquired them).
