A definitive approval is when you get your passport back with the visa stamp on it.
I just received the same message when trying to log in.
Please, let us now the final outcome. Also, what do you think: what made the CO to not give a definitive answer, but only recommendation? Do you think you had any problems with documents? Or anything that could change the mind of CO? And also, where was your interview? Thank you very much.
The documents were okay and the CO stressed this out at least twice. A couple of years ago, I had one visa “canceled without prejudice” because I had gotten new citizenship and used my new passport to renew my soon-to-expire visa, which I had on the previous passport. The CO asked me the reason for the visa cancellation and I explained, but it seems that the information he had on the system was not clear, as he seemed to be trying to ascertain that information but was unable (that’s my assumption). Other than that, I am not sure what might be the reason for recommending approval.
Regardless, the CO has no way of knowing what the additional background check that gets conducted with the captured fingerprints may reveal. Hence there is no definitive approval until after the passport gets stamped with the visa. Even if the CO outrightly says at the end of the interview the case is approved, it is not a confirmed approval at that point because of the pending additional background checks.
The CO recommends the case approval pending background check clearance like I already explained. That’s the process.
Hi, first of all well done! Can you please share your experience with us? What did they ask etc? Where did you do your interview?
The CO asked basic questions based on the information submitted on the DS260.
I'm trying to figure that out myself but wasn't able to come up with a number - the only thing you can do is look at the data for past years to see how many interviews were held at the embassy. It doesn't give you an answer, but you can compare that with the number of people selected in the country. You also have to assume that there are more people interviewing there that have different chargeability countries, but you can't know how many. And also have to assume that only around 60% perhaps actually submit their DS260 and follow the process.
Hello,
Thank you for your answer and explanations. I will take a good look
Here's the most detailed OC tracker: shorturl.at/bcuCI
The CO spoke mostly with me (main applicant). However, he also interacted with my wife and kids. He asked my wife about her work history and what she intended to do in the US. Asked her to confirm some information such as travel history and if she had been convicted anywhere in the world. For kids was basically their DOB.
its nonsense to still call it "DQ" .
Maybe this is KCC new way of telling people they processed their DS260? The older DR email makes no sense now.
Some were in august , some in june, and one in september. It seems that they are processing through CN now.
