Hey, I have a question. Do you remember how long was it from when you received the email/ tracking number to when the package was ready for pickup? Also did you receive the email with the tracking info the same day as your case stated “Issued”, or was it a day or two after? We just received our tracking and we are trying to get an estimate on when we would think it would be available.

Our case was approved today🎉 I wanted to share the experience for those who may find it helpful now or in the future. When it was time to reschedule the medical, they changed the way you can schedule. Previously you had to fill out a form and wait for the medical team to respond with a date and time. Now you can fill out the form and choose your own date and time. Also emailing the embassy very detailed emails is very helpful. I believe that our case somewhat flew under the radar because the embassy had the medical results but when I emailed them initially they asked if we had completed the medical. I emailed them again with all the dates of when everything was sent and done and that is when we started to see the case moving!

My fiancé has already received the Covid vaccination thankfully. I’m curious to know why you say two months? Is that because we started testing 2 months after the initial ban? If so I don’t think that is accurate. I know of a case where someone’s Ban ended in July this year and they redid their medical and were approved in the same month, however they started random testing in October last year. I think each case is different. I’m not exactly sure how the embassy is going about reaching out to people, however I do know of few cases where the embassy has reached out before the month that the person started the random testing.

First off, Congratulations!! In our case we started random testing 2 months after the initial ban. My fiancé went in 2 weeks ago for another random test and after he was told to expect a call from the embassy soon. Finger crossed I’m hoping we can at least finish the final medical before the holidays start rolling in.

Hey, My fiancé did receive a call in August however he was in the hospital at the time and couldn’t make it. They haven’t called since he’s been out which has been over a month now. I’m assuming that’s why they haven’t finished the testing, not for certain though. I haven’t received any communication with the embassy about the medical, I’ve emailed them twice since the 20th, no response yet but I’m going to keep reaching out. When I spoke to the people at Andrew’s they told me that it doesn’t matter if the ban date passed, the person has to complete the random testing first, which is annoying! Im assuming that Andrew’s can random test you for as long as they like until they decide they are done. From what I gather there is no specific number of times they need to test person and there is no real guideline to when they are required to stop.

Okay, Thank you! I was assuming maybe everyone had the same number of times they had to go to St. Andrew’s. I appreciate your responses it’s super helpful.

Hello everyone, I wanted to ask if anyone can share how many times their fiancé was called down to do random testing? My fiancés date to resume was September 20th which has already passed and we were told he has to finish the random drug testing. He’s already been down 5 times I’m just trying to estimate how many more times he’ll be called down and see how much longer this will take. Thanks for your help in advance.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Hey, I was catching up on your process. I wanted to know was your fiancé required to get the Covid Vaccine before receiving the visa?
