Thank you, Mary Bernard. My Dad's status in ceac website after his interview on Niv 23rd, 2018 was Issued. Then Jan 1st, we received the email instruction for NBI written explanation. This was done on Jan 15th, 2019. On Jan 22nd, my Dad called NBI and was informed that the letter was already pickedup (by embassy rep.). Jan, 25th, he received a call from US Embassy Visa Processing asking if he already complied to the email instruction. So now, waiting we are...ceac status never changed: status still says ISSUED...really hoping we get good news this week...this week is the 2nd week. 😯

Hi, 

 

How long did it take from the interview before you got the email from the embassy for the endorsement letter? What else did you bring to NBI aside from the endorsement? How long did the NBI take to send the explanation letter to the embassy?

Hi...my dad was interviewed on 11/23/18....was told he will receive the visa packet in 7-10 days...but did not.....01/02/19, he received an email instruction regarding the NBI requirement....01/15/19, my dad went to NBI office and had an interview with the personnel as instructed by embassy....letter of explanation was forwarded to the embassy that Thursday....01/30/19, 2go had my dad's packet but was recalled by the embassy so it was sent back to them...02/08/19 when the final visa packet was received...

 

Actually, 12/04/18, there was already a visa issued....ustraveldocs site showed issued but the visa packet was not forwarded to my dad....further review required the nbi letter of explanation that was why it took a while.

Hello

 

Still waiting on visa delivery 

 

my father inlaw waited for the Endorsement letter almost 2 months. You need that in order to get NBI WRITTEN EXPLANANTION.

 

then they went to NBI on Friday 12/28, interviewed by the lady that’s in charge specifically for his type of problem

 

then NBI forwarded it to embassy on 1/03

because they deliver every Thursday. They missed the delivery date because they went on a Friday.

 

visa issue was 1/15

Hi

Is this a same case with you guys?  I just wondering after this process how Long it takes that the embassy will going to ask for the passport  to release the visa? Please help. !

Too funny!  This topic started in November 2018 and just now became country specific .. :lol:  

I think it is funny because it seems like it was hidden in the bowels of VJ. Getting just enough traction to stay current but not enough until lately to make it rise above the muck to become visible to the outside.
