fingerprinting

[checha]

Does it depend on the consulate whether or not fingerprints are required before a visa is issued? The scenario is this...husband is in his country waiting for interview for receipt of pk4 and interview. I heard that fingerprint processing takes a very long time.

Fingerprinting for visa interview...

My wife is currently waiting for her fingerprinting to be processed by the FBI. She was told by her consulate that it currently takes about 3 to 4 months after fingerprints are taken before the interview (and medical checkup) is scheduled. So, yes, it does seem like a long time...probably worse now with the terrorist attacks of late.
