Hi all. My husband had his Interview on April 6th & they only needed his medicals. They kept his passport.. Our case status changed today from "Refused" to "at NVC", with instructions to log into our CEAC account and follow the instructions. When I do this, there are no messages. Has anyone had this happen? O went back in a couple of hours later, and its back to saying "refused". Does it mean that there are issues? I'm so stressed right now.

My husband had his Visa interview on April 6th in Johannesburg. The Embassy said they had not received his medical report yet, but they kept his passport and they will process Visa as soon as they get medicals. The medical centre said they have already sent his medical report. (He took it on March 23rd). How often does South Africa embassy update CEAC case status? It's been showing "Refused" since the day of his interview. Thank you.

I sure hope so. So far still in "refused" status

Hi All. Hoping to get some clarity. Last Thursday my husband had his Interview and was told he was approved once they receive the medicals from the Dr. They also kept his Passport. But I looked at our case status on CEAC and it shows "refused" for the same date he had the Interview. Is that because they are waiting on. The medicals???? He took his medicals on March 23rd. I don't understand why it still isn't at the Embassy. I've read other people's stories stating their medicals arrived on time for interview. My husband said that everyone that same day, embassy didn't have their medicals. Thank you in advance.

Hello all. We finally got our Visa interview email yesterday We have come across a bit of a snag when it comes to scheduling his medical exam in South Africa.. According to the state department website there are only 2 medical offices that are approved to perform the medical exam in South Africa but when we call we cant get an appointment prior to my husband's Visa interview on April 6th. we just spoke to the one in Cape Town and they don't have openings until April 13th and the other option, Which is in Johannesburg, require us yo send an email request on their website. Any advice on other options, besides rescheduling the visa interview, which is not an option.. I can't believe there are only 2 options in all of South Africa we get so close and then always hit another obstacle.

Good evening everyone. Has anyone heard what the approximate wait time from DQ to IL is for South Africa? Thank you.
