Administrative processing IR5, Kyiv/Kiev

[O&R 5]

Any recent input of how long it takes to get a visa issued after 221G administrative processing for the medical exam (or anything else) in Kiev, Ukraine?

Isn’t that embassy closing due to the upcoming invasion?

They have ordered the departure of family members of US citizen employees and granted voluntary departure for non-emergency personnel, but the Embassy remains open.  However, it is unlikely that they will continue to process visas normally, as the focus of the Consular section in situations like this becomes emergency services to US citizens in the country.  They will likely try to finish the cases they have at Post but not request any new case files from NVC until the situation calms down.

Thank you very much everyone! Good news, father received the passport with the visa today, although he has annotation on it  "212 (G) (2) (B) Class A or B (TB) Req Attn of USPHS At POE". Not sure of significance on this but we are feeling much better now with his passport on hands!
