Hi @Gal2957...I just requested transfer of our case to Jerusalem from Warsaw (on 7 April 2023)  Curious about the medical exam scheduling.  How long before interview did you complete medical exam?  Can it be done same week as interview?  How long for them to process Visa after completing interview?.  Just trying to get a sense of amount of time I need to plan for in Israel.. Thank you! 

Hi,

medical i think need to be 2 weeks before the interview (once you have an interview appointment you can call the clinic to schedule medical exam). Scheduling an appointment after nvc approval didnt take long.

processing the visa and issuing is very specific to each case. In our case we went in to administrative processing (missing some docs and proof of domicile) and took more then two months to get the visa. 
best of luck, gal.

@Gal2957 How long it take for the interview letter after NVC DQ's ?

About a month.

ceac status changed yesterday from refused to ready. what do you think will be the next status and when 🤷‍♂️?

*embassy doesnt have the passports. 

If we submitted a proof of domicile after the interview 221g, if the embassy reject it does they let you know somehow? With another 221g?

We are at the exact same situation, actually had our interview a few days after you in jerusalem. We got 221g, They wanted proof if domicile and military record. 
i filed them both but am so afraid of that proof of domicile, this is one of the things that can get everything down the drain.

i am so frustrated that i am considering going to the state alone now rent an apartment find a job get a driver license so i can make a better proof of domicile.

Hope it goes well for you.

what did you sent as documentation for residency? 

I sent it as proof of intention to re-establish domicile, including:

*active us bank account with credit cards accounts and a large fund transfer we did few days ago.

*2 correspondences emails about job interviews with employer to show active job search. (Correspondences was from last Aug)

*one job contract from mid Dec to show a job offer.

*resignation letter that i gave to my foreign employer.

🤞

Unfortunately it wasn’t a mistake because when they sent back the passports it came with 221g that mentioned one more document to submit. 
*for now  I submitted all requested docs.

i am nervous that they went throw my proof of domicile and sent back the passports because they didn’t find it to be convincing.

this is a freaking out post!
last week my wife had the interview, and while the interview went pretty well, still got 221g for proof of domicile and her old non-immigrant visa, but they still kept the passports.
few days later we filed the proof of domicile and the old visa. but then 2 days later they sent the passport back to us without the visa and requested also military records(which i also submitted today on ceac)
how bad is this that they sent back the passports?? i am freaking out!!

Just wanted to post an update. 
Currently Jerusalem seems to be free from any backlogs. We got interview letter about 45 days after DQ from Nvc.

the interview was scheduled for 3-4 weeks from IL receiving date.

i hope this information helped someone else out there 🙂.

I would suggest you fill in your timeline for Israel F2A visas so others can benefit from you.

US Embassy Jerusalem is not backlogged, and I would imagine it's 2 months just like IR1/CR1.

Thank you for the response, hope you are correct.

my time line up to now:

pd of i-130: september 2019

approved i-130: december 2021 (potomac sc)

Hi everyone,

 

Does anyone know what is the procedure right now with some embassies processing mission-critical and emergency visa services?

We received approval (Documentarily qualified) a week ago from NVC, and our case status still says "at NVC".

Interview location is Jerusalem, Israel.
Do they not send the case until the embassy has completely resumed all services?
And isn't our case (IR/CR1) a mission-critical category according to the proclamation in the link below?

Thank you for any assistance.

i am guessing you got interview appointment in the Jerusalem consult.

thanks.

25.   was your evidence the letter from IRS?

 

An IRS Verification of Nonfiling Letter (VNF) will provide proof from the IRS that there is no record of a filed tax form (1040, 1040A, or 1040EZ) for the year you have requested. A VNF does not provide proof that you were not required to file, only that you did not file.

 no, the evidence was just an explanation letter that  i wrote and signed, from what i have read this is enough to cover it. 

hi guys, 

in part 6 in case i was not required to file tax return in the most recent year, how should i fill this section for not been rejected. (i am using a joint sponsor).

and in ceac what document should i upload in FEDERAL INCOME TAX RETURN OR TRANSCRIPT. 

and of course i attached a letter explaining why i didnt file tax for most recent year, using the EXPLANATION FOR NOT FILING TAXES  option in the additional docs section.

please help i dont want to get rejected and wait another two month for nothing.

There is no rules for that, you bring what ever documents that u want. The more savings the better. bring your pay checks, 6 months will be good. And I think that 10000 usd savings is good place to start.

Any thing else that u can bring will be good, like car ownership, real astate etc.

good luck friend.

Its diffrent in Every embassy, my bank statement was on savings I deposited 3 month earlier. Good luck

Nope In my case I only had bank statements, and it was enough(i think its good to have at list 15000 dollars for person). But I am sure that it is not the same in every country. I also spoke English in the all conversation which shows your English skills and rises your chances of getting the visa.

First of all I'll would like to thanks all you guys in these forum, I used it a lot and all the information and topics here was very helpful for me.

After a long journey Yesterday I was at the consule and my visa was approved:)) and I will be happy to help with any question u have that i can answer on the dv program.

But I have one last question, the people from the embecy called me to provide a contact person in the us, (so then can close the case and send it to me).which I don't have, Please advise.

hi every body, last month i saw i am among 2015 selectees.

all this case number issue got me all confused. mine is as000018**.

is it a good place to be? when will it be?

tnx
