My fiance had his embassy interview back on December 23 2019.  Hes from Honduras.  He somehow forgot to get his medical exam done before hand and didnt have a copy of his clean criminal record with him either. He was waiting for finalized documents of his divorce before completing both steps.  Now the COVID-19 has screwed everything up.  He hasn't been able to get a copy of these documents, and we are afraid we are running out of time.  Our biggest fear is time limits.  Is there a date he must have this completed by?  Or would he need to file an extension?  Once he gets this documentation and submits he just has to wait for final approval and his passport.  But since this is taking a substantial amount longer than normal we just dont know what to do.  If anyone knows the answer or where I can go to get them i would really appreciate it

How did you get the petition approved without his finalized divorce documents?

YMMV

I was thinking the same thing... 

 

Just to clarify- Are you saying he went to the interview Dec 19 and they gave him a 221g?  What does his status say on CEAC?  Generally you have 1 yr to submit what they ask for- if you dont then it gets denied/sent back to USCIS and youd have to start over. When do you anticipate getting the stuff they need to send back by?
