Was assigned to CDJ, Mexico 4/15/2022 - 3/13/2023
Then transferred to JRS, Israel
The case was put into administrative processing, because my husband could not provide police certificate from Mexico.
The visa was issued only after my husband went to the Embassy in Jerusalem to collect his passport, since he had to leave Israel. There was no second interview, July 7, 2023 is when the visa was Issued. |

Embassy Review : |
Israel is different to other countries. They request police certificates from every country that you've lived for over 6 months (not a year). They put us in the administrative processing, because we could not provide it for Mexico, where my husband lived for a little less than a year as a tourist, waiting for the interview appointment at CJD.
After the congressman's office has reached to them they actually send us an email that stated that administrative processing takes at least 9 months. My husband went to the embassy to collect his Russian passport then, because he could not wait any longer in Israel. They issues him visa 3 days later on July 7th and on July 10th he picked his passport with visa in it. |

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the
USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
