Hello all,
I've been following this thread and wanted to share my timeline with you all. I'm almost done with the process but waiting for my husband's passport to be returned. Here is our timeline:
Visa Office: Rome
App Rec'd: Feb 5, 2016
AOR 1: Mar 12, 2016
SA: Mar 30, 2016
AOR 2/PA In Process: Mar 31, 2015
PPR: May 4, 2016
Passport Rec'd @ Rome: May 9, 2016
So it's been about 3.5 weeks and haven't received the passport back. Our representative has sent an email to follow up on the status and we're waiting to hear back. Overall it was really quick, now I'm super impatient to get the passport back! Good Luck and speedy processing to everyone
