Hi,
Can I get advise on my case in UAE.
We, family of four, were interviewed in Oct, when Consular Officer confirmed that we met all the required qualifications and were eligible for the DV under the laws of the United States. Since we would not be able to travel within 6 months due to kids schooling, the Consular Officer gave us the option of coming back in March to stamp the visa for travel in Summer and also go get our names on the passports endorsed by our own consulate as name /Surname is not clear in our passports. She asked us to come back in March. She even mentioned that she was making this note on all our four applications.
Now on submitting our passport in March, we have been informed that due to administrative processing we have to wait and keep a track on the embassy site for our number to appear. Is this normal? Does the visa have to be issued before Sept and/or are we to be in US before September end? Can you please clarify if the visa needs to be stamped or we need to be in US before September end 2009.:confused:

If that process works then the consular officer will have done u a great favour. u must get the visa before sept 30 this year which is still far and when you do get the visas you have 6 months to travel even if its past sept 30. I got my visa end of August 2008 and traveled early Feb this year so you need not panic. all the best
