ACRO has contacted Embassy…

[Anikka 6]

Hi everyone. My partner has been refused pending the Embassy needing to contact ACRO to corroborate her file. My partner contacted ACRO because it’s been almost a week since the interview and she was told 1-2 business days and that she is basically approved. 
 

ACRO has told her that they emailed the Embassy on the 11th of June but our case has still not updated on the CEAC website. 
 

Is this delay normal? Does anyone have any ideas on what we should be doing? Or is it, like the rest of this process, just a time to wait? We’re trying to be patient but not knowing what’s taking the Embassy so long is exhausting.

Delay?  Only 2 days?????   Just wait.   There will a LOT of waiting ahead.

Why was the ACRO not enough?

Because it was a “no live trace” instead of “no trace” - so they need to verify what the charges are and make sure you’re not lying about it.

You are supposed to apply for SAR and bring it to the interview.

A week or two is normal speed, I wouldn't even request for an update until then.  Six to 8 weeks for certain consulates/embassies.
