After resending our DS-2001 last week they logged it today, and are just waiting on an interview date. I hope he gets one In November, because our wedding is December, 10 !

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

5 to 6 weeks seems to be the current time just to get the date, which can be for a week to a month after they assign it. They don't seem to give much stock as to planned wedding dates unfortunately. (Our was supposed to be today, actually.)

It's possible that you'll get lucky and they'll be quick about it, but it's also possible that they will not.

I figure this has to resolve at some point, just like the NOA2 and NVC issues did. Our NOA2 had so many quirky issues because of Vermont (bed bugs), transfers, etc and ours took quite a while to finally leave Texas for the NVC. When I look at other timelines I see someone with a NOA1 of May (ours was Jan) and interview/POE is already done. I'm guessing with the switch to electronic that this process will be faster for those coming along behind. It's one reason I find it so hard to read the regular K1 board. I'm happy their wait isn't as long, but frustrated that we apparantly hit the stupidest time to go through it. I really hope I'm not looking at another 5-6 weeks from yesterday.

Yeah, we are hoping to have the interview soon. We had already sent DS-2001, but they lost it. We explained to them about it in the letter we sent, and sent a new DS 2001 and it was logged the same week (I am guessing because they understood it was their fault losing it). So, I am hoping they continue to own up to their mistake by giving us a speedy interview date.

5 to 6 weeks seems to be the current time just to get the date, which can be for a week to a month after they assign it. They don't seem to give much stock as to planned wedding dates unfortunately. (Our was supposed to be today, actually.)

Got another update today saying they sent my fiance an e-mail, and are acknowledging our wedding date (Dec 10th) and are in the process of scheduling him for an interview. Ds were just added the 30th after having to resend, so a day later to get the email acknowledging our wedding date and saying they are in the process of scheduling him makes me feel hopeful. Did you all get an e-mail like that though?

I only just realized I could login and check the status. Does "no status" mean they haven't logged the readiness form for the embassy interview?

I feel your pain....I am waiting for the interview date for my spouse...We are F2A and our request to expedite the visa interview was accepted by the US embassy London so they will arrange the interview date instead of NVC. CEAC visa status check is showing ready since 30th Oct but still no visa interview date.
