Second medical exam and visa photos?

[MZK 8]

Hello:

 

I have inquired with the embassy as my husband's case has been put on AP for a year now. They gave him a 221g slip and asked for no further documents. It wasn't until recently, after I sent them an email in the last week, did they send the following:

 

 

 

Dear Applicant / Petitioner,

 

We are glad to inform that our office is ready for further processing of the subject case and requires the following to be completed before the final review of the case for issuance of the visa.

 

1-            Visa Photos (2*2, front view, white background, uncropped)

2-            Medical Report from one of our embassy designated panel physician. For more information, see travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/interview/interview-prepare/medical-examination.html.)

 

 

 

 

What does this mean? I have emailed them back asking for more info but any of guys have any idea what they might say or how long before a visa will be issue? Will they ask for a second interview? Will they make us wait more? Please, any help will be appreciated.

You're emailing them to request info on why they are asking for those things?

 

Seems like much time-wasting.   Pretty simple: if you want the visa, you need to comply with the requests.

No. Maybe I wasn't clear in my question. I will restate it.

 

I emailed the embassy asking what the status of the case is. In return, they replied that case is ready for further processing and they need the following two things; the visa photos and a medical. My question was is this a good sign? I have read a second medical exam usually means they are ready to issue the visa soon. I could be wrong. They have updated the case 3 times in the last 3 months. He has been in AP for over a year.

 

Sorry about the confusion. I'm just really worried about my husband's case.
