So my husband got an email to say his passport needs to be sent off but it doesnt say whether he's been granted the VISA. It just says: Please submit passport for visa processing. Please note that you have 30 days from today in which to resubmit your passport. You are NOT required to submit any other additional documents.
Does this mean he has been issued the visa?

Okay, so just to keep you all updated - My husband went for his appointment on the 1st Nov 2018 and was recommended a waiver. He then received an email that stated to send his passport for "visa processing" on the 15th Feb 2019 so thats 15 weeks and 1 day. We've sent off his passport (on Sat) so will keep you posted on when its returned.
Fingers crossed for those of you that are waiting and are in sticky positions!

Oh yeah, I hope you hear from them soon. We have a holiday booked in June, but the final date to make any changes without any cancellation charges is March so hopefully his passport comes back in time! Congrats by the way.

My family is taking a cruise from FL in April and my husband had to apply for a visa waiver because of possession of marijuana when he was 20y/o.
We didn't think it would be a problem receiving a ESTA/VISA so we were very "late" in the process and he was recommended for a waiver on December 10th only giving the boarder security exactly 4 months to answer which I now see is extremely unlikely..
Anyone who applied around end of November/beginning of December who has received an answer??

If your cruise is in the latter part of April, it might just work out; but you should still be prepared for the possibility that he won't have his visa in time and will have to miss the trip.

The timing is very tight. In addition to the 4+ months waiting for the waiver decision, you also need to add on a further 1-2 weeks for the passport to be sent off and turned around with the visa inside.

Hi all
New to forum but was hoping for a bit of help. After being refused visa last Tuesday and having to cancel a family trip to New York this Saturday I am a bit in the dark regarding if there is anything I can do just to be sure the waiver application is going ahead and that I don’t need to do anything my end.
I was given the white piece of a4 with the “moral turpitude reason†ticked and this also says towards the bottom that I have been recommended for waiver. (the very abrupt and to the point officer also said she would recommend the full 5 year). This seems quite straight forward but there is no note of this on my account which simply still states “appointment†stage.
I am sure it’s fine and patience is now the key but people have mentioned an email that I can send just to ensure it’s in motion (I realise no progress report will ever be available).
Any help would be appreciated.
