Stuck at embassy

[children03 0]

Hello everyone, 

Earlier I had posted about visa process of my 3 children. There process is going under IR2 category. One of my daughter interviewed at Benin Embassy in February and they told her that they will give her passport back after security check, we have been waiting. My other two children were scheduled to be interviewed in March 14 th 2020 and because of Covid situation embassy closed day earlier. We called NVC and they told the case is already transfered to embassy so they can't tell anything about it. When we tried to contact embassy we didn't get any response. All the process is stuck. Can anyone tell me how long this is going to be like this. What should I do? I am very worried about my children. Please.

I would begin By reviewing what qualifies as an emergency then going ahead and emailing them by being compelling and making your email an emergency situation. I know each embassy is different but that is what I did in my case .
