I think they started for ir1-ir2 but very few coz they were processing last month for DV's. I hope they are done on this category so they can start with immigrants.

Good also for you dont have appointment before Dec10 atleast it will be sure that your IR1.. There is benefit for you..I still work here in Jeddah but if time permits that we are also lucky this year, that would be great.

Just to update you guys, my wife called NVC today and asked for the status of our case. She specifically asked when our case will be referred to the Riyadh Embassy for an interview, as the Embassy website says some immigration visa services have resumed. The NVC rep told her that, according to their system, the Riyadh embassy is still not available for regular visa processing, and only mission critical and expedited cases are currently being processed. When she pointed out contradictory information from the Embassy, the agent said that he can only tell what their system states, which is mission-critical and expedited cases only.

 

 

thanks for this info.. yes it is contradicting to the information posted on their website..I haven't heard anyone processed also as expedite. i know CR1 filipino applicant, she is going exit and requested for expedite. They rejected it. now she just ask embassy to transfer her case. 

I think no one is lucky yet. as per NVC, usually appointment will be 1 month advance so if no one receives appointment letter until End of Nov2020, means no interviews in December. Possible they will resume fully from Jan2021 only.

Base on this site: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/visa-law0/visa-statistics/immigrant-visa-statistics/monthly-immigrant-visa-issuances.html

USEM Riyadh had issued IR1/ CR1 visas since June 2020. The only month that they did not issue IR1/CR1 was on May 2020 but after that IR1/ CR1 visas are being issued every month, it maybe in limited numbers but the good thing is it is moving forward.

 

Waiting time may not be that much, ISA we will see DQ from March 2020 down for interview soon. (It will be a good sign).

Based on their website update, they are mentioning to start IR1-ir2 but I know someone who got DQ in April for IR1 still no  update for him.

Yes it’s safer to redo it wish you get your interview soon and good luck to everyone 

Hopefully everyone will get interview. I am afraid if they will start on 2021 only.

Did you try to email them about it ? If yes what did they say ?

They says wait for the interview then the consul might require it. but to make sure- il get new one when it expires. I dont want to get  221g coz of expired clearance.

I don’t think it’s going to be this year as well , I lost hope this year and emailed them and they said your case is still at NVC and you will wait for months ( s ) I email them oct 4 so I think I will just have to wait , my case will be IR1 in December I will compete 2 years of marriage and I’m still waiting !! 

atleast they will start for some IR1 to reduce the backlog. My only concern is my police clearance from my home country. It will expire Nov21. if I cannot have appointment before that, I have to get new one. its a very lendy process.

Yes , I didn’t hear of any interview for IR1 or CR1 yet that’s strange 

They shouldn't have posted that update if they are not giving appointments. I lost hope of waiting. maybe they will fully resume by 2021.

Nothing from my side  I hope we hear something good from other members 

I think they didnt give any interviews yet even for IR1. cant really understand the update on their website and they are not moving.

Islamabad Pakistan already giving appointments for those who got DQ in March. We dont hear anyone from Riyadh.

Thank you for the update. DQ on March 10th, also waiting for the Riyadh Embassy update.

Any update from anyone who are DQ and for interview in Riyadh?

I think Riyadh Embassy didnt start yet even those who got cancelled during March & April.  Our cases are stuck and will not be forwarded to embassy if they are not yet done for old cases.

Hi all,

 

the embassy has updated its website as attached. I hope this means they will hold interviews soon. 

Its good news but they will only works on for IR1-IR2.. what about CR1. I know that greencard holders are on hold so they have less applicants now

Ok got it thats good you have renewed your contract mine ll expire in February/2021 

you used exp request in this pandemic lockdown or before then that lockdown

I send it after I got DQ july21 but it was denied and I never heard anyone got expedited in Riyah. I think we really have to wait until they will start.

14 minutes ago, Subhan&Ram said:

What reason you have used for your expedite request? 

my employment contract will expire next month and not sure if the company will renew it so i might send back to my home country (PH) if not renewed but it was denied. so still needs to wait. good thing my contract was extended so its oki if it was not expedited.

Guys need help to gather some

information about exp the case after receiving DQ email from nvc on 29 April 2020 

right now me and my wife are so emotionl hopeless that may be we won’t be together on day of our 2nd anniversary this December 

can you guys please help n give suggestions that what possible reason can we use to exp the case rather then life n deathh situations 

thanks  

If you have a valid reason you can try to send expedite at NVC. I tried before but was denied by the embassy and I didnt hear from other groups of being expedited in Riyadh Embassy.

i find this link of Facebook it shows that they did issue visa in July for spouses and it’s mostly for IR1 not CR1 not sure why.

 

 

maybe this cases are expedited coz no one posted in here or fb pages about receiving appointment..

1 hour ago, Subhan&Ram said:

I was expecting spouse visa category as of first to resume but I guess they ll not operate spouses visas first, 

This is only for student visas.. There is no update on their website yet. Am afraid if they will not resume this year.
