Hi All,

How long after you have submitted(due to 221g) a US Federal Return to US Consulate in Sydney will we have a Visa in hand?

Thanks in advance

I see your not having much luck getting a response to your posts about this.

When I read your post the other day it kinda jogged my memory about the only problem I recall reading during interview at Sydney.

Anyway - I went looking for it. This person's situation wasn't quite the same, but it's the only time I have seen someone asked for info after the interview, so I thought their experience might help a little. They were told at interview that they needed further documentation to do with their co-sponsor.

The member I'm refering to posted the email response they got from the Consulate when they enquired as to their case - quoting it here for you

Your fiancées visa is in its final stages of processing before the visa can be issued. Generally, it will take 5 business day days to print your visa and prepare your document package once the required documents are received in our office. Once printed, your immigrant visa will be mailed to you in the Express Post envelope which you submitted with your application. Please use your tracking number of the envelope to track the visa package online via Australia Post at: www.auspost.com.au/track

It didn't take long at all to sort out their issue - I hope the same is true for you.

Thankyou so kindly for searching this out for me. I appreciate it. Its so frustrating for us as we so want to get to the States so we can show of our baby daughter to our family. Would like to be there before Easter.

Thanks

I interviewed on the same day as Sassy+Swoop and she received a request for extra documents. Her husband emailed them the same day. I received my visa about 6 days later and she received hers about 10 days later. So, not long at all once they receive it.

Here's hoping it's the same for you ...

Hi Deb+Steve,

Thanks for letting us know this.

I emailed the US Consulate about whether they received our documents and if so have we been approved. All we got back from the Consulate was that they have received the document. No mention of if we have been finally approved. They must sit on it for a while before making a decision.
