Jamaica-Awaiting F2b visa before medical expires

[Effy85 3]

Good Morning, I did my interview in February 2020 but was place on AP for missing W2. Weeks after, my online status changed to ready, April 7th to be exact. My medical will expire in July 2020, since I've heard it's valid for 6 months. I would hate to have to pay for another medical if it expires before I get the visa in hand, because it cost nearly $60000JA for me and my daughter. I know the US Embassy in Jamaica is not yet back to regular routines and they are not sure of a specific date that they will but If anyone is in the same situation please share. I appreciate any updates/information. Let's keep each other posted.

Hi,

F2B visa issuance has been suspended by presidential proclamation since April 23rd.

The executive order is set to expire on June 22nd, unless it gets extended. If it doesn’t get extended you could try to contact the embassy on Monday, but keep in mind that you must enter the US before the medical expires.

If the visa is printed it will have an expiry date matching that of the medical. If it’s too late for a visa to be issued then you’ll have to redo the medical. Sometimes if a visa would only have a few weeks validity the embassy will contact you to ask if you can travel quickly or would rather redo the medical.
