Hi. Former lurker, first time poster.
Had my interview last year, May 10, got the dreaded form along with a request for a new criminal record check, filled it out and after waiting for two months started inquiring every two weeks. Back in October 2024, the consulate actually called me and said they're ready to finalize my visa, but that my former medical exam expired in four days and said they could do it, but that it may be best to redo the medical. So I did, getting it done at the end of November.
Now it's radio silence. Supposing they were on holidays, but my patience is wearing. My fiancee started this whole process back in 2023. I miss her. Painfully. So I guess I'm adding my name and post here to mostly vent. @_@
