Once a case has been transferred to Embassy/Consulate from NVC, priority dates doesn't mean anything. Those dates only tells you processing at NVC, not Embassy/Consulate. You should have contacted them after 3 months instead of waiting for them to contact you.

Now, your all documents are expired cuz it's been years, so now they are asking for documents again. It's NVC rule that if processing is pending from your behalf and you do not contact them within one year, your visa fees lapses. However, your case was transferred to Embassy, so I am not sure if that rule is applicable with Embassy as well. If it is applicable, you'll need to pay all visa fees again. But it's really unlikely cuz visa fees are paid to NVC not Embassy. You should better submit documents ASAP and see if they ask for visa fees again.

I contacted embassy several times after the interview and they only replied that "at the moment your priority date is not current, Please check again later". I even asked for my passprt back in 2012 for travel purpose and returned it in oct 2013.

At the time of our first interview we paid the visa fees at the embassy.

Congrats man,pray for us too we've been waiting for more than 3 years too now!

I need guidance as we are really confused. Our Priority date is 27 september 2001. We were interviewed at the ISL embassy on 10 jan 2011. They kept our passports and gave us the tokens with a paper that said that we shall contact them if we do not receive our passports within 3 months. The pd retrogessed in that month back to year 2000. since then we did not receive any info/letter from the embassy. the status at the ceac website showed Administrative processing for 1 and Ready for other 4 family members. now when the pd is current we again asked embassy to update us about the case and they are asking for all fresh documents so they can schedule are interview.

were you re-interviewed too? did they send you any official letter for that purpose? Did you have to pay visa fees again?

Dear fellow community Members,

I have been the silent observer since past 2 years. My Visa journey started in Dec 2010 and finally after 4 years of wait got my visa issue Today.

I just want to thank everyone on this community and wanted to say don’t let your hope dies, Very soon you will all get the Magic letter "ISSUED" on CEAC web site.

My case recently got around 5 updates, it used to be 1 update per 2 months. Got the email from embassy on Dec 4^th 2013 to submit 2 pics and new medical, after they received the require docs, received the call on 16^th Jan 2014 to come to embassy on 29^th for finger prints and oath. After taking the oath yesterday, The Visa officer said congratulations your visa is approved and you will get your passport back in 10 days.

Check today on CEAC web site and its said ISSUED

Bombertest1,

He/She also had reinterview?what's confusing is that we haven't received any letter from them as yet.

Will we have to pay visa fees again? They mentioned all new documents including DS-260 (previously DS-230), affidavit of support, passports, photographs, and medical reports.
