Refugee interview

[Omar2025]

I have a private sponsorship application
My application was received and processed
I got an email asking for biometric and medical exam
A representative called from IOM asking for background check form to be sent to them
After a while they called again asking for a passport size photos and haven’t heard back since then
Is there a chance they will issue a visa without an interview? And usually what is the process for issuing a visa? Do they request the passport?
My sponsor haven’t received any communication
Thank you

hi there it seems like your application doesn't need an interview, because usually medical is done after interview. btw can you share your timeline ? how long has it been ? I am also going Private sponsorship

Sorry I can’t remember the exact dates because I can’t access the online application status checking tool but it has been about a year since I got my G-number and about 6 months before that since I started the application process.
The longest wait time was until I got a spot with SAH, 5 years! But after that things are going relatively normal
