Well surprisingly they answered my email from yesterday, with Generic Email Template 01 as opposed to 02 I got yesterday.. maybe they outsource email responses to a 3rd party ;).

I know it's not actually funny, but yet it is funny.  Wouldn't put it past a 3rd party!  They definitely don't have the computer savvy tech to put AI or a bot on it!

Well I am still on the lookout for a generic email response to my query of two days ago, so consider yourself a winner!

Dunno about winners or losers ... but hoping if anything it's at least a source of entertainment or distraction... I think I saw a pattern, if you're nice and not forceful they take 8-11 days to answer, if you're frustrated (like @DS5535) then they answer real quick... in my email I was polite but spouted their own lingo back at them trying to get them to look at my case ASAP and they answered within 24 hours. Whatcha think? We could create a whole new spreadsheet on consulate communication patterns 😂

I haven’t gotten any updates since my last one on Dec 22nd. Sent off an email to the consulate yesterday as I have now passed 60 days since my interview and now I’m waiting for a response….

I got a response from OP03 just now. Their asking me to send my passport back. Hopefully this is good.

 This is good news!! Whenever I've seen someone asked for their passport, their approval comes only a few days after the passport is received. Keep us updated!

Thanks!!!!

 

I don’t want to get my hopes up as I was already approved once and they pulled the rug out from under me.

I don’t blame you for your cautiousness, after you were blindsided before, but this really looks like good news!
