Thank you for providing this information. We have not heard anything this week nor any case status updates. I am not holding my breath for tomorrow either. Something must have snagged on their end for them to stop processing or stop reviewing our case. It seems everyone so far from 2023 CR/IR has had their case processed and IV issued. Reviewing CEAC every day does not help our mental health either. 

 

We've requested our congressmen to inquire (has not even replied to our email to confirm) as well as my spouse. If nothing comes out of these, I feel like the only way to push the consulate to make a decision will be a WOM. 

 

Keep us in your prayers 🙏

Not everyone!

Praying for you and your partner for a speedy IV issuance. - Keep us updated on your status and progress, especially with the second interview/re-oath and what that process entails. 

 

As far as updates on our end:

Still no case updates. The last case update was 13SEP2024. However, we finally received email confirmation today from congress representative indicating that they inquired with the consulate. We're hoping we hear back from them shortly about a visa issuance or any other outstanding documents. 

 

We're annoyed at the lack of consistency with MTL😠. For example, when the consulate requested our passport back on 8AUG2024 we were only notified to provide the passport to the consulate, we emailed multiple times about providing the passport in person as well as whether a medical exam was required knowing its been more than 6 months since our previous medical and they ignored us completely. Instead, only met with breif email to submit what was requested.

 

Any one know if the consulate(s) has ever issued a visa without a updated medical/passport photos?
