We sent it a copy of our venue rental with our wedding date on it with a nice letter asking for a sooner date. I don't know if that helped or not, but it seems to have since we have an interview a wee

From what I've read on the forum, the CEAC updates really don't seem to add up to much. It seems as though some people get their interview dates with no CEAC updates and others have CEAC updates with

They received our DS-2001 (we have receipt they signed for it) but have not logged it, on Sep 16th they logged our other forms that we sent before it but said they didnt have our DS-2001 and to wait 4 weeks from Aug 27th (when they signed)---they still have not logged it, and we still do not have an interview. Emailed them and they still havent written us back.

We're still waiting as well. I called DoS this morning (after she encouraged me to "call tomorrow" when I called yesterday). No interview date yet. They say they have the papers and medical. She's unsure of what the Oct 15th update was about and can't see it in her system. I have my fingers crossed for news soon.

I got an update on the 16th, and found out that it was them asking for the DS-2001 (which i had already submitted), and in the email it said to wait 4 weeks if I had sent it. Its now Oct 17th, and still nothing from them. They signed for our papers in August (27th), and logged them all except our DS 2001.

Have you thought about re sending ds 2001?

Another week, another call to DoS. Still ###### nothing 5 weeks out. We put on the forms we filed months ago that we wanted a Halloween wedding. I guess they don't bother to look at that anymore. Embassy emails still go unanswered a week later.

November 14th, 2013: She's here!

December 12th, 2013: Picked up marriage license.

December 14th, 2013: Wedding

For those of you also calling DoS, what do they say? They never use the term "logged" with me, just that they've been submitted and they have all of the paperwork. But.. different people say different things. One person said we were in AP, later said we were just waiting for an interview date.. then the last call was AP. Does AP *mean* waiting for an interview date? She also said they don't update it between received and when they put it in, so she said submitted probably means logged by what folks here say. I'd love to know what terms they're using. I don't mind waiting for an interview if I at least know what day I'm waiting for! Also, small confession, it really hurts to see people get NOA2s in 20-40 days now.. and know that not too long ago people got interviews just a week or two after their medicals were received. Somehow we've managed to apply at the worst time and get in many many urgh type of situations - bed bugs, transfers to texas, slooooow transfer to NVC, etc.
