We have been in administrative processing since our interview in October of 2018. The embassy has now requested my fiancé’s passport stating they are in the final checks of issuing his visa. On June 21 our case changed from AP to ready but hasn’t had any updates since. Can someone please tell me what that means? Side note: under ready it says ready for interview etc etc!

We are in the same situation unfortunately. Our interview was exactly 2 months ago tomorrow and they have had passport and required documents for a month now! They did need a letter to extend the petition after the fact and they have had that now for 12 days. Hoping to hear something soon!

What they are telling you is correct. You can't depend on any time quoted by any governmental agency.

Yes i understand. My petition is extended until March so hopefully they get to it before then! Before the holiday break would be even nicer

I know that they were at the embassy in Germany. And there one lady said if the case gets approved it takes 7-10 days to get back the passport with the visa. What I didn't know is that they got a 221g (or whatever) I thought her fiance got an approval

The lady told us he was approved pending the 2 paper requirements needed and that it would only add 2 extra days to the whole process. Now that they have had them we have waited longer. When i emailed them they said “it could take days, to weeks or longer.”  😢

It's not clear if you received a 221g pr not. If so it can take days, weeks or months to review the documents they have requested before coming to a conclusion on your case. 

You can make an enquiry at your embassy though.

It is a 221g. They asked for the documents and his passport, so they received them on October 29, then a couple weeks later they asked for a letter for extension of my petition! we thought that if we were interview by our expiration date it was ok but apparently not! So i had to send a letter in requesting that, which was received November 19th. I’m hoping with the holidays is why it’s taking so long. So they technically have had everything they need for about a week! 

Wondering if anyone knows how long it takes for the embassey to issue the visa after all requirements are met with the administrative processing. They have had my fiancé’s passport for a month now and no change.

You should post your question in the sub-forum for your country/region found here https://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/95-europe-amp-eurasia-except-the-uk-and-russia/

 

There is a far more "German" applicants located there that can answer your questions.

Hi i posted in my country specific group but haven’t heard a response. Just wondering if you knew how long the Frankfurt embassey took to issue the visa from AP to approved once they have the necessary paperwork? 

Hi i was wondering if anyone knew how long the Frankfurt embassey takes to change the status of the visa from AP to approved/issued once they have all the necessary paperwork? Thanks in advance 

Hi, does anyone know how long it takes the Frankfurt embassey to switch the status of the visa from admistrative processing to issued/approved after they have received the required paperwork they need? Thanks I’m advance

It's been quite a while since your petition was approved, your best bet is to have the US petitioner call the NVC and ask if you've been assigned a case number. Once you have that, you can get in contact with your local consulate/embassy and ask for an extension of the petition. The USC most likely has to send a letter with a 'wet signature', so you can't just send an email or print a pdf file. I don't know how far in advance they grant extensions though, that's something for you to ask the consulate about.

They usually always extend it for an additional 4 months for up to a year in total. I've had to do it twice and the embassy in Germany was very nice about it.

Hi could you please tell me how you go about requesting an extension of the NOA2? I also am using the Frankfurt embassey 

Quick question! Did i hear correctly that the medica expires 6 weeks from the date it is completed? If not when does it expire? TIA 

Hi all! I have a question about the expiration on the NOA2! What does that exactly mean? Does the interview have to be scheduled before this date?

I told them that I will have my interview two weeks after the medical and that I'm worried that the results are not there i  time. And the lady said, don't worry usually we will have the results within 2 days and will forward them right after receiving them. I went to the doc in Dortmund. I just noticed that you are from Germany too (or your fiance?)...where do you go for the medical?

My fiancé is a German resident so his medical will be in Hamburg!!

Not sure about other countries but in Germany the obviously don't do that. They told me they test blood and urine if you have syphilis or gonorrhea (or was it gonokokken?) they didn't mention a drug test at all.

Ok thank you!! That makes me feel a little better. Did they also tell you it would take 1-2 weeks for results?

Hello everyone! I am writing this in hopes for people to be helpful and non judgmental...but anyways my fiancé is scheduled for his medical this Tuesday and while i was visiting last week we went to Amsterdam and had a little fun, forgetting the medical was around the corner. Anyways, my question is, do they drug test for marijuana at the medical interview?

Congrats. You know you can get the CFO Sticker at NAIA or any of the CFO locations if that works for you.

What is CFO? Does everyone need to take this class?

No. I have an appointment for the 15th August.

Oh ok! If you don’t mind me asking what city in Germany are you in? Also the medical people told my fiancé he would receive his results from his appointment within 1-2 weeks after. I thought they got everything at the end of the appointment?

Thanks for the advices 😁 It finally worked. Now I just have to wait that Mikes documents finally arrive and then I can send it right away to the embassy. I'm so glad that this stuff comes to an end. Do you have already your interview appointment?

Did you already have your medical?
