Administrative Processing and Administrative Processing - two different cases.

[jessyjessy 13]

Hi all. I want to share my story for those who is undergoing AP and hope this will help a little.

07/30 - I had my interview. CO didn't clearly say if I was approved or not. I had one missing doc and I was aware of that. This was a Police Clearance from one country I lived more than 6 months. They kept my passport and told me to send the doc to them and they will contact me. They gave me white 221 g form.

07/30 - CEAC status showed AP ( Your case needs further review. )

08/01 - Sent the Police clearance to the embassy.

08/02 - Got a text from the courier saying the doc was delivered.

08/02 - CEAC still on AP

..... I didn't call the embassy regarding the doc submitted cause my fiance told me that's not how the government works, the more you call them the more they do it late...

08/09 - Sent an email to the embassy and ask for acknowledgment upon receipt of the doc submitted. ( couldn't wait no more so I asked them )

08/11 - Got an email from the embassy saying they have received additional doc and referred my case to concerned team for processing. CEAC still on AP.

08/12 - CEAC changed to READY ( You can book your appointment. )

08/13 - CEAC showed READY ( your case is open and wait for two business days. )

08/15 - CEAC changed to AP ( Your case is undergoing necessary AP. This can take several weeks. )

08/16 - CEAC changed to ISSUED.

I hope this helps a little. There is an AP and there is an AP. They are two different cases depends on it's content. You are put on AP after the interview if your case needs further review , you may have one missing doc or they really need further review ( CEAC shows AP your case requires furhter review. ) and there is AP which showez your case is undergoing necessary AP ( If I am not mistaken this AP showed when they will issue you a visa soon )

If you have any questions on my case, feel free to ask I will help. God Bless to all of us.

Same here, my group remains untouched too. Well, I have reviewed all the approved May Filers, I noticed no one get approval whose A# is June 3, 2013. Hope they will approve us soon. I mean all of us.

God bless.

Hi Jessy,

I had my interview on the 2nd August and my status since then has stayed at "ready". I have contacted the DoS and they say the US Embassy in London has my file and there is no notice on my case about it going through AP. What do you think "ready" is all about after having the interview? Other people who had their interview around the same time as me are struggling to get their visa's also...

Thankyou

So your visa is ready and you never had AP at all, contrary to your other thread. I asked why you thought you had AP...

That is what they told me yesterday at the DoS when i spoke to them,they guy said i was in "AP" and but today the lady i spoke to said i wasn't. My status says "ready" but that doesn't tell me anything.

[Harpa Timsah 13,258]

If it's in AP the status says AP.

[missypatrick14 0]

If it's in AP the status says AP.

It SHOULD do yes but sometime's it's not updated on the CEAC website so it says one thing yet you could be at another stage of the process.

Hello missypatrick, what does your ready says? Is it for booking appointment? If it is then it hasn't updated yet, but it was almost two weeks after your interview, in my case I was put on AP right after interview ( one eoc missing ) then after two weeks it became Ready ( for appointment ) then after a day it changed to Ready ( Case is open ) then AP ( to be issued the next day ) did you try to call the embassy or email them? After your interview what did the CO tell you?

I hope this helps a little. There is an AP and there is an AP. They are two different cases depends on it's content. You are put on AP after the interview if your case needs further review , you may have one missing doc or they really need further review ( CEAC shows AP your case requires furhter review. ) and there is AP which showez your case is undergoing necessary AP ( If I am not mistaken this AP showed when they will issue you a visa soon )

Our AP says:

Your case is under administrative processing. Please see the letter you received at your interview for more information. If you are required to submit additional documents, please submit them to the U.S. Embassy via any branch of 2GO courier service (Attn: Immigrant Visa Unit) together with a copy of the letter.

If further information/review is needed, you will be notified once we have completed our review of your case.

Consular officers need to be reasonably satisfied that all issues have been addressed before a final determination is made regarding visa issuance.

The time required to process a visa application to conclusion varies by case and depends on its complexity, along with the number and intricacy of other cases awaiting review.

Do not finalize travel plans, purchase plane tickets, dispose of property, or cease employment until a visa is delivered to you. We are unable to commit to issuing a visa on a certain date.

Me and my family had immigrant visa interview on Nov 10 2015 at Montreal. Officer ask to submit I-864A form and issue us 221g white paper. I sent that document on Nov 18 2015 via Loomis Courier and delivered on Nov 19 2015. When I check Visa Status on CEAC, it says

"Your visa case is currently undergoing necessary administrative processing. This processing can take several weeks. As the officer told you in the interview, if further information is needed, you will be contacted. If your visa application is approved when administrative processing is finished, you will receive notification to collect the passport with the visa from the Loomis branch you selected when you booked your appointment."

What this means

I dont know if you are still in this forum. But anyone who reads this can help. My fiance went to his interview  a month that ago. He was missing a document. They asked him to bring it and deposit it with security at the embassy in cameroon, which  he did. He was just called to aprearranged at the embassy on Wednesday the 18th of this month. His status is still AP. His passport and everything  were kept at the embassy.  I am wondering  what thus means. Will he gets the visa? Just worried.
