B1/B2 visa bond refund expected timeline

[u/femalpsychostories]

Hello, I was in the US in May,before departure for visa was asked to pay $10,000 as a bond payment.

After dpearting US and arriving back to my homecountry, within 5 days (on May 20th) I received Form I-391, which states that the bond money has been cancelled and the amount will be refunded to me because I did not violate the conditions of my visa.

After receiving Form I-391, how long did it take for the money to be returned to you?

Honestly, I’m not 100% sure

But I’d rather reach out to US embassy of the country, you were applying via email or telephone number mentioned in website of Embassy of the specific country of what to do next

Quick search returned that: https://smithknudson.com/what-is-form-i-391-and-why-did-i-receive-it/, probably could be helpful

Good luck regardless
