Visa Arrival - How long after interview?

World International

Published

I was wondering how long the visa arrives after the interview for those who've had minor problems or missing docs.

My friend had her interview almost 2 weeks ago, but for some reason the embassy misplaced her passport. They let her go on with the interview. In releasing she was given a document list stating she had to go back to St. Luke to look for her passport there. After 4 hours with the embassy & St. Luke pointing a finger on each other, they finally found her passport in the embassy.

I know interviews that are documentarily complete receive their visas within a week. But what about those with missing documents? How long after submission do you expect the visa? My friend's visa has not arrived yet. When they finally found her passport, the lady said it may take a slight delay because they have to reopen and review her file like all incomplete files. Any ideas?

guys i know its hard to wait but as the SAYING GOES:GREAT THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO PATIENTLY WAIT!:cool:
