Medical Expiration & Visa Application Received

[Valynrax 0]

Hi All,

 

My Fiancée had her interview on May 23rd and was given verbal approval by the interviewing officer. She explained that we have June 17th set as a flight date due to her Medical expiring on June 19th. As of this morning so far her CEAC still states "Application Received" - it was updated May 28th, and again June 3rd. Should we expect to get the Visa before the 19th? The flight can be moved if needed, but from what I understand she needs to be in the country on the 19th at the latest.

 

If it helps, she had her medical December 19th, 2023. She was required to get multiple vaccinations after her examination, one of which was drastically delayed by her having a major surgery and was told by her GP that she should not get the final shot until after surgery & recovery. This put her at early May to get the final shot and have the medical team send the documents to the Embassy, hence the May 23rd Interview.

 

What are the chances she may need to do another medical before they issue the visa? Should we believe that it will be issued and in her hand before the 19th?

 

And yes, we know we shouldn't make final arrangements until it is in hand, but we couldn't afford flights two days before fly out date and were worried about the Medical expiration. Thank you in advance!
