[kalshbli90]

Hi guys,

Yes. Do they have tickets because leaving it really late because starts next week? Seems strange to apply so late.

Most likely will not get approval and passport stamped in time. Fingers crossed that it happens.

Agree that this timeline is incredibly short especially coming from a country like Libya where there is increased concerns about applicants return to their home country. I hope travel costs are at least refundable.

not worried much about cost. just curious what is the time frame to get a rquest for a BIO does it happen on the same day ? i was told it can take a week or so before the request comes in . and what is the process time after that. system shows 22 days. i did my bio today and have been sent in

That is an estimate and doesn't include passport stamping.
