I had my EB-2 visa interview in mid-August. At the time, my medical exam wasn’t complete, so the consular officer gave me a 221(g). I’ve since finished the medical, submitted the results, and returned my passport to the consulate. Now, as of early September, the Department of State has announced that the annual EB-2 visa limit for FY2025 has been reached: Link | Annual Limit Reached in the EB-2 Category | 2Sep2025 My question is: is there any chance my visa could still be issued before October 1st, or will my case just stay pending until the new fiscal year begins and visa numbers reset? If anyone has been in a similar situation; especially with a 221(g) that was resolved around the same time the cap was hit; I’d really appreciate hearing how your case turned out. -
I was given a 221G notice at the consulate since my medical exam was scheduled after the interview. Along with the notice, the officer also handed my passport back. The checklist mentions that once the medical is completed, the passport will be needed again for visa issuance. I just wanted to check with others who have been in this situation: Is it standard for the consulate to return the passport when 221G is issued for pending medicals? After the panel physician uploads the results, does the consulate automatically ask for the passport, or do I need to submit it proactively? Any experiences or guidance would be really helpful.

I had requested the U.S. embassy to schedule my immigrant visa interview, and they replied stating that I need to submit an updated DS-260 before they can proceed with scheduling. When I checked CEAC, my IV application status shows as “Re-Opened.” This is likely because I changed my embassy from Islamabad to Sydney, and several details in my original DS-260 have since changed (including address, contact info, etc.). I’m a bit hesitant now — I’ve come across a few posts where people mentioned that updating and resubmitting a reopened DS-260 might affect your position in the interview queue. I want to make sure that updating these details won’t delay the process or push me further back in line. Has anyone been through a similar situation — embassy transfer, reopened DS-260, and interview scheduling?

Does anyone has executed rescheduling/ cancellation of the immigrant interview at the Sydney Embassy?

Hi everyone! Can any one advise regarding the rescheduling timelines? My case in Sydney Embassy for an immigrant visa.

One of my friends had an interview in the same category you have and was just fairly smooth. It took only 10 minutes. For the medicals, your vaccination and immunity must be mentioned on your immunization register.

Appropriate reason & time for Interview rescheduling Hi I hope this message finds you well. Can you please advise following as I am planning to delay my interview for the first time: Can you suggest any appropriate reason for the visa rescheduling request to the embassy? What is the appropriate time before the interview date I should submit the request for the rescheduling request to the embassy? Since my objective is to delay my visa processing I am planning to submit the request only a week before the date of my interview. Thanks in advance.

Thanks, I agree with you. If I have a booking handy with me the officer may be happy. Thanks for the wonderful advise.

Hello Community! I have a scheduled interview. If my VISA is approved then I will opt to apply for a Re-entry permit for which I would have a limited window, in which I will take leaves from my employer and proceed as follows Make my first entry to the USA File I-131 Wait in the USA for my biometrics Return immediately after biometrics to my home country Now I have the following queries regarding the duration of the Reentry Application: Query 01: What is the Minimum and Maximum duration from filing to Biometrics? Query 02: I have heard the SSN is required for filing the i-131, which will take around 7 to 10 days. To optimize the leave duration can I follow the below technique? Make First entry and return to my country back making my green card valid for 1 year. My SSN will have arrived at my residential address in the USA. Make a Second entry and file i-131 wait for biometrics and return to my home country. Query 03: What is the best time of the year to visit the USA, I believe that in December and January, most of the office staff would be on vacation or holidays may take longer for the application process. Query 04: I can either go to California or Illinois which state is best to apply and get a swift processing.

Hi Everyone hope this message finds you well. I am writing to inform you that I have received my interview letter. Now Since my objective is to delay the interview I need suggestions and risks associated with it. How does the rescheduling work? Can I select a date as per my choice from the list of available dates, or will they just give me a date of their choice again?

@Lil bear Thank you for your comment. Can you please explain why it is better that the medical to be done a day before the interview? I had a conversation with the medical centre they said it can be done either a day before or after the interview, so that you can save one extra travel from your Perth to Sydney.

Can I book my medical the day after my Visa Interview.

I am in Perth at the moment waiting for the interview letter at Sydney Embassy. The medical examination facility is not available in my state so I have to go in another state both for my Visa Interview and also my Medical Examination as well. Having limited leaves from my work is it possible for me that I may schedule my Medical exam either a day before or a day after my Interview date. In this way I have to book only one time return tickets from Perth to Sydney and will complete both process that are my interview and medical examination. I would be appear for Immigrat Visa Interview. Your wishes are requested. Thank you.

I do not think there should be any reason that you just say please reschedule. I belief usually we need to email them that we cannot attend interview in this case in the body of the email. We must need to mention the reason for not attending the interview. I also believe that this reason will be shown in front of the Immigration officer. Whenever we will attend the interview so I guess it’s good to mention some legit reason.
