During the interview they said that they intend to process it, but they must do some checks from their side. It took around a week and I received my K1-visa. P.S. If you receive email that the passport was given to courier services and you have chosen pick it up yourself then be sure to go there next day. (it wont be there the same day even tho you will receive email that it is) | 2023-09-24 | ||||

Thankfully, I know others who are also dealing with this embassy, and they shared their packet 4 email with us so we could move forward with the process. We did finally receive Packet 4 on the morning of his medical appointment. The medical report was not received before interview, so the application was initially refused on the day of our interview (12/6/22). I called the hospital on 12/15/22 and they confirmed the medical report was sent that week. I checked daily (a bit obsessively) and I'm glad that I did! Otherwise, I wouldn't have known that every time anything for our case was touched, an update is reflected. Changes to our case update status are as follows: 1 - Ready, case created 10/22/22, case last updated 11/15/22 - I didn't think to check the status before the Visa application was done so this was the first status we have. 2 - Refused, case last updated 12/6/22 - updated within hours of our interview. 3 - Refused, case last updated 12/16/22 - we believe this is when the medical report was received. NOTE - Medical was done 11/25/22; it took 21 calendar days/15 business days before the embassy received it. 4 - Refused, case last updated 12/20/22 - we believe this is when the medical report was scanned. 5 - Application Received, case received 12/22/22, case last updated 12/22/22 - we believe this is when the medical was actually added to our case making the application complete and ready for readjudication. 6 - Approved, case last updated 12/23/22 7 - Issued, case last updated 12/28/22 We got the pickup email 12/30/22. The email comes from donotreply@usvisa-info.com and the subject is Yatri: U.S. DoS Visa system travel document shipment ready for pickup. I hope this info is helpful to others, particularly those who are also going through the US Embassy in Kingston, JA. | 2024-05-21 | ||
