  1. We painstakingly gathered and completed all the necessary documentation for our F3 visa application. Embarking on our journey to the US, we held high hopes for a smooth immigration process. This brought us to the US Embassy for the eagerly awaited visa interview. Regrettably, the outcome did not align with our expectations; our visa application encountered a temporary setback under section 221(g) of the INA. The accompanying refusal letter explained that our petition would be returned to the USCIS for further processing. This hurdle arose from a heart-wrenching circumstance - our family's petitioner and my mother passed away during the COVID-19 pandemic. While our application had been accepted at that time, it was subsequently put on hold due to pandemic-related disruptions. It is only recently that we have been able to recommence the process, driven by a steadfast determination to see it through. Prior to my mother's passing, we had a joint sponsor in place: my sister, a US citizen currently residing in the country. In the wake of the refusal, my sister has been instrumental in helping us appeal the situation, offering invaluable support and guidance. She has dispatched the necessary documents to the USCIS in Chicago via postal services, marking the initial step towards a potential resolution. Our current strategy involves positioning my sister as the new petitioner through a humanitarian reinstatement, a move we believe holds promise. Given our circumstances, we are eager to explore any available options. Is there any further action we can take, or should we await updates? If you have any additional questions or insights, please feel free to share. Your input is greatly appreciated. We extend our gratitude for your support and understanding during this challenging time.
  2. Yes, exactly. It would be fairer and more efficient if the US Embassy could secure slots for individuals facing medical setbacks like sputum testing. Time was wasted for no significant reason, and there was no compensation for it. Instead, I was given only 3 months before the medical expires, rather than the full 6 months. I contacted the embassy and NVC and I'm waiting for their reply. Thank you nelmagriffin.
  3. No, when they detected something in my X-ray, I had to undergo a sputum test, which they needed to culture for a month. If there were any complications in my medical results, I would have to recover first. However, if there were no issues, I could then schedule an appointment with the embassy. Fortunately, they found no problems in my X-ray. Yes, I agree. However, I was hoping to learn about any alternative approaches to address my issue besides reaching out to the embassy and constantly checking the portal every two hours because I'm running out of time. Thanks JeanneAdil!
  4. Hello, I'm in a dilemma and could really use some guidance. So, my family and I are almost ready for our F3 visas. We've got everything sorted out, except for one - the embassy interview. Our medical exams are about to expire in just a month, and we've been diligently checking the visa appointment portal for two whole months. Unfortunately, we haven't been able to find any available interview dates. I'm in the F3 visa category, and to be honest, I'm getting pretty worried. We're trying our best to follow all the rules, but this waiting game is causing a lot of stress. If anyone here has experience with expediting the embassy interview appointment process for F3 visas or has been in a similar situation, I would greatly appreciate your advice. Time is running out, and we could really use some help to make this process smoother. Thanks a bunch for taking the time to read this. Ask anything if you need more information. Your input could make a huge difference for my family and me during this stressful period! 🙏 P.S. We actually had an interview appointment scheduled before we even took the medical exam. But the doctors said that we have to cancel the interview appointment in the embassy until we receive the results of the medical because they saw something in my X-ray, and so we did. Now we have the medical, but it's been months until we last saw an available booking for an interview.
