What's Next

Held Pending Additional Information From You

Occasionally, the Consular Officer will require additional information from you in order to determine the appropriate visa eligibility. The Officer will inform you, in writing, what you need to provide to conclude your case. Unless the Officer instructs you otherwise, you may return to the Embassy between 9:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. any Monday through Friday (except on holidays) with the requested information. A new appointment is not necessary.

Based on the additional information, the Consular Officer will decide whether your application is approved, held pending administrative processing, or refused.
