Amen to that. When they do it right, they rightly should get praise.   Coincidentally, I saw a “last updated on” change to May 4. Wonder what that’s about? Hopefully good news coming sometim

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

 

So glad to hear all the good news today. Looks like someone at the consulate sat down, dusted off the AP files and finally looked at them today. I hope we see more such days this week and everyone else waiting gets approved…

Thank you all for responding! 
my moms last update was November 24, so looks like I’ll likely need a recent update before any hope of issuance of visa.

Great news for all who are finally getting movement on their cases - I hope this is the beginning of a trend!  Hope you move quickly to to final processing with the tracking number following close behind.  I received my passport back today and hope every else gets theirs soon!

Congratulations! 
 

Can you share the timeline between issued AP, final processing and tracking number??

 

Thanks!

For any of those who were recently approved, but the consulate didn't keep your passport, can you share how long it took for them to send the email with instructions to send the passport back? My wife has her passport, thankfully, as she is with family in France at the moment, but we were wondering if we get the good news, how much lead time she has to return.

My last update change was Dec 22 and I got an email to return my passport on Jan 13. My passport was delivered to the consulate Jan 18. I emailed them to confirm receipt of my passport and the emailed me yesterday confirming they have it. Now just waiting to be issued.
