| Additional Info / Notes | PhD in University of South Carolina. VO asked about research, told them that i have worked on toxic resistance in insects and they asked me for my CV which I didn't have. Said everything checks out and they need a few more things. Case summary: nterview on 1 June: 221g given along with my passport returned and was told that consulate will contact me in a day or two. Emailed them on the 9th June stating no email was sent, got a reply stating they will contact soon. Got an email to submit "passport, hard copy of email and documents at VFC on the 13th June. Went to VFC on the 18th June and they said they only accept passport and not documents but finally took it. Emailed consulate on the same day stating the issue. Got a reply saying that they will need only the documents and not the passport. Replied stating that I have submitted passport and documents as instructed in the 1st email. Got a reply on 20th June stating that they have received my passport and documents both electronically and the hard copy and my case in pending under administrative processing. I didn't understand their stance on first asking the passport and then saying that they don't need. Will it take a long time to process it or is asking for the passport an indication of my visa being approved? In the interview I had stated that I have worked with toxic resistance in insects and didn't have my CV when they asked for it. |
