I am very depressed, I need some help here, After co approved my visa on the 24th oct, case on CEAC says ready and when wife contacted them, next day it changes to Administrative Processing and later that day I got a letter from the embassy stating I should submit....

the letter I got from embassy 

Dear Sir,

Thank you for your email.

The interviewing officer reviewed your case, and we require you to submit  continued and recent communications between you and your spouse (phone calls, messages, etc), proof of spouse subsequent visits to Nigeria/S.A., recent photographs.  

Sincerely,

I responded back to the embassy where to send the document, as I waited for days without response I had to send the documents through Aramex and I paid for it. 

Now later I got the DHL certificate in email, do you think its going to be a problem as I have mailed it express mail through Aramex to the embassy and I saw they got it as someone signed for it. 

Who have gone through this process and how long will it take since I have already mailed it out to them for them to look at and finish already.

At least 2 months wait if not more.

On the email, how do they want you to submit the evidence?

They didn't specify where or how to send it to them, I am a bit confused truly, because co took our photo album and checked and returned them after the interview when she said I am approved. they never mentioned where or how to send it

No need to call. Follow the instructions on the email and submit the evidence they're asking for.

But they didn't give me a date or appointment, I can't just walk into the embassy?

Nothing is final until the visa is issued. They are asking for more evidence, so you need to send the items they are looking for.

I took them all Evidence to interview and they took it and checked and returned them, what I don't understand is that it only went on AP today, do I have reason to doubt, I got the green paper to pick up passport after 10 business working days, but its been 19 business working days and today it only went to AP after my wife called yesterday, Do you think its a random email or do I call the embassy tomorrow?

Hi, 

 

No, you would need to call the Doctors office in Sandton. After completing the information supplied to you by above user. The doctors office prioritize immigration cases. But follow the information from the post above and follow the steps, give them a call and book. They're really helpful and it's pretty seamless.

Do you have a question?

Yes, What should I be looking up to please any assistance will help

My wife called me just mins ago that NVC sent my interview packet. 

1 minute ago, missileman said:

For Cr-1/IR-1 interviews, NVC must wait for the consulate to give them available dates for the upcoming month.......At that point, NVC assigns interview dates to the applicants at the front of the queue for that consulate......you might want to check the timelines in the SA portal to get an idea of average waiting times between "case complete" and interview assignments.

Thank you so much, it helps
