Recent interviewees - do you have your passport yet??

[nobbie 105]

Just realized my post above was meant to be check DS-260 status. What does this even mean? I've never heard of this before

DS 260 is a new form supposed to replace DS2001 and DS 230 after 1 Sept. I tried to have a look and see if I need to do it as my interview is 23rd Sept although all my DS forms were sent on 7 Aug. It will not let me do anything as the first thing it asks for is an NVC receipt number which we (K1) dont have.

No idea why it shows up on your status thing though, it's new and you are the first person I have seen come across it.

This is an email I received from DX Secure. From reading, it does not 100% answer as to how those in the non transtitional group are dealt with, but I would imagine that you will receive a text or call much in the same way.

Dear Mr Sayers

Thank you for your Email.

The reason why you are not able to track this item on our website is that your visa is being processed by the US Embassy at this time. Until we receive it from the US Embassy you will not be able to track it.

Please be advised it can take between 5 to 15 working days for a visa to be processed.

If the business allows us we will send you a text the day before the delivery takes place, this will allow you time to arrange for you or someone else to be at the address to take the delivery, or for you to upgrade the delivery time slot.

The tracking number will be your invoice number.

If it makes you feel any more less confused about what to expect,I actually was emailed by the DX company in the afternoon/evening of the second working day after my visa was issued. The told me that my passport was ready for collection. If you were issued yours on Friday then contact DX to find out if they have received your passport,i'm sure it will come today and they get deliveries from the embassy after 3.30pm so if it's in today's delivery then call after 3.30pm to find out.

Thank you for the update / info!

I double checked the CEAC site and it appears that my case actually changed to "Issued" yesterday and not on Friday. Therefore I guess I will count today as business day 1 and tomorrow as 2 etc. Hopefully I will hear something tomorrow.

So, does that mean you have your passport/visa in hand now!!?

What e-mail is everyone using? I'm looking on the DXSecure website now and I can only find some phone numbers.

It is a contact form rather than an email address. Try this link:

I remember someone saying to me that if the status changed from attend interview, it means the embassy is done with the processing and the courier has it? I think that's what they told me. Is this "check DS-160 status" a good sign its moved?

Hey Chris!

Well at least you know it is waiting for you in Southampton!! You have been so patient so I am really happy for you that you will finally get it this week!!

Sadly I did not hear anything from the courier company today. I am really hoping to hear tomorrow or latest Thursday. I have still got my flights in place for the end of next week, but it is looking more and more likely that I will need to change them

Who knows, maybe tomorrow will be the day!? I think it has been something like 292 days since I received my initial receipt, so a few more days won't hurt I suppose!

Thankyou I feel like i have been waiting forever for this and i'm on the last hurdle for now. I'm just wary of something going wrong such as the name being wrong on the visa info or whatever,i am excited about it all though. :)

I honestly think you have nothing to worry about and i would put money on you hearing from the courier service by the end of the week,don't cancel/change your flights,not just yet

Are you from the U.K and your fiancee from which part of the U.S? Yes,thats the way you have to think of it,you have waited this long so a few extra days won't hurt. :)

haha!! everything will be fine with the visa, nothing to worry about. Just make sure you get to Southampton safely!!

Thank you for your optimism, I will leave it until Friday before I look at re-booking any flights.

Yes, I am from London and my fiancee is from Texas. We met whilst I was working in Austin and that is where I am heading as soon as I have my passport back

Good luck on Thursday. Let us know how you get on and I will let you know when (if) I finally hear something!

Thanks, I contacted them and they responded just saying they don't have anything for me yet. We'll see how it goes.

I'm pretty sure ours said Attend Interview and then switched to some tracking number but I'm not positive..I can't believe you are still waiting to hear something.

My fiancé and I don't know what to do. We've never heard of this "Check DS-260 status" as our status and my fiancé called the embassy and they said they can't help us. He sent an email but right now we don't know what to do. Is this instructions to fill out the DS-260 form because they have recently changed one of their forms to this one? We don't know who to contact or what to do but this is getting very close to our wedding.
