US Embassy in Kabul

Are they open to give visas? That’s what I am waiting for too I thought the embassy was closed for visas? 

[NilsaNAnil 22]

Did you go through the interview process yet? Or medical? 
 

because you don’t have an updated timeline. 
 

Our case was started in 2017, and my husband was on AP since 2018... he already went through the interview and medical, so I think that’s why his visa was issued. But anyone starting the process might have to wait.

Congrats!  what is your type of case, marriage? did you file i-130?. I stopped tracking for  a long time since I contacted them on September but they sent me something that they do not issue any other type of visa unless it is a DV or an SIV.  we can't do anything  so why they are lying.

Ours said refused (with the adminstrative processing language) and then after he was called to pay the visa Fee it changed to "issued" but that was on Dec 13th and we still haven't gotten an email for him to pick up his visa. 

 

How long after you paid you visa fee did they tell you come pick up the passport? I am just worried things will closed down again and my husband wont be able to travel. He already had his visa but when flights got cancelled he couldnt travel

I think it is. We were very nervous when we were waiting. 5 weeks total, but ended up issued. If they kept the passport already a good sing. Be patience, it will take some time. I am sure it will be fine
