Embassy of the United States of America

Case Number: 2019EUxxxxx
Dear xxxxxxx,
Further instructions regarding the status of your visa case are detailed below.
Processing Completed
We are pleased to inform you that the administrative processing for your case is completed. You do not need to check our website, as this email has the most current information on your case.
IMPORTANT: Please note that derivative applicants cannot be issued a visa before their principal applicants' administrative processing is complete.
All applicants should send us their passports and required documents via the Turkish postal service (PTT).
Applicants whose status is marked "Processing Completed" or "Ready" are encouraged to send in their documents to the Embassy at least two weeks prior to their processing expiration date. Applicants with "Processing Pending" or other statuses should not send in their passports and should not come to the Embassy. Applicants whose case processing is pending may check their status at the "Status Check" link below.
After your documents are received, a consular officer will review your case to ensure each applicant meets eligibility and admissibility criteria. If everything is in order, your visa packet will be prepared and sent to the PTT office which you chose. If additional work is needed for your case, your passport(s) will be returned to the PTT office with an explanation. In most cases, you will receive a decision five work days after your submission.
Applicants who were under 14 years of age at the time of interview, who reach their fourteenth birthday while their parent's case was undergoing administrative processing must return to the Embassy to provide fingerprints.
Prior to sending your documents to the Embassy, each applicant should do the following:
-
Print out one copy of this email.
-
Send a valid passport. Each visa applicant needs to have a passport valid for six months beyond the intended date of entry into the United States.
-
Register with PTT. Each family member applying for a visa needs to register their pickup location individually with the Turkish postal service (PTT), and to provide a copy of their registration to the Embassy. This registration must be completed every time applicants bring passports and documents to the Immigrant Visa Unit. To register, please click on the Courier Info link or call +90 850 390 2884 from Turkey or (703) 520-2490 from the United States.
-
Confirm medical clearance validity. Immigration/refugee medical examinations are valid for 6 months or less. The validity of your immigrant visa will be limited to match the validity of your medical clearance. If your medical report has expired, or will expire before you intend to arrive in the United States, you are required to renew your medical examination and to submit an updated medical report to our office. Please do not send us a copy of your x-ray results.
-
Send any other documents that were requested by a consular officer.
If the passport information you have provided on your DS-260/160 form changes at any stage of the process after your interview, you must inform us immediately via email at https://tr.usembassy.gov/visas/contact-immigrant-visa-section/. This is necessary to avoid possible delays in your visa process.
