Re-medical Submitted for US IMMIGRANT VISA

[SaqibAnsar 0]

Hi guys, hope you all are fine. I have been interviewed in July 2019, embassy retain my passport and other documents for administrative process. Now last month they asked me to submit the medical again which I’m done and submitted. Can anyone tell me how much time they will take to stamp a Visa now? Any chances?

I just had this happen to me with the Consulate in Montreal. Interviewed January 2020. Have currently decided not to resubmit since there's no guarantee they'll get to it before it expires again. Ridiculous that they sat on my documents for 18 months and failed to notify me that things had expired A YEAR AGO!

 

SaqibAnsar, what consulate did you go through?

You decided not to submit a new medical after the consulate asked you to?  Does that mean you're giving up on getting an immigrant visa?  Because the consulate will definitely not process your case without a valid medical on file.

Yup, I know they need one to process my IV. I have a year to submit the documents to them and at this point I'm not confident they'll process it in 6 months at this point since they're so backlogged. It took them a year to tell me my medical was expired for crying out loud and we have had multiple points of contact with them since my interview last year. I'm not rushing to send them anything until they have a better handle on their timelines. They currently have a tiered system for processing cases and I'm in the very bottom one, so I'm not thrilled by the idea of going through the hassle of resubmitting everything only to have to re-do it again. The wait times to get some of the documents, like the police certificates are greatly increased due to the thousands of cases this has impacted, so it's very unlikely that my case will get processed in a timely manner. I also can't leave the USA since I had to renew the visa I'm currently on and I will be considered to have abandoned my claim if I do so, so I'm a sitting duck until that goes through. I'm very much painted into a corner right now and there's not much I can do.
