NEW EMAIL ADDRESS
In order to serve our visa applicants more efficiently, we have created this new e-mail address:IVMNLAppointments@state.gov , for early appointment requests and visa scheduling issues. Please note, however, that early appointment requests will be approved on a case to case basis (i.e., aging out cases, or in cases involving personal or medical emergencies), and only if visa interview slots are available.
For other immigrant and K visa concerns, please send an e-mail to IVManilaReplies@state.gov
.
To enable us to electronically sort the messages and provide better, more timely responses, you should follow the instructions below.
The subject line of your email should indicate the visa applicant’s last name, first and middle name (ex. DOE, John James), case number/USCIS receipt number, visa category and priority date.

Messages should be limited to 500 characters or less. The mail size should not be more than 15 KB.

The reason for your AP is they are doing background checks on you since you were born in Libya and a parent is Libyan. Daily updates mean your case processing is almost near the end. Good luck.

Thank you mellow! That really helps a lot! And congrats on your issued visa!

Thank you mellow! That really helps a lot! And congrats on your issued visa!

Thanks too. My husband also had to endure AP and since we're family all of us has to wait until his AP is completed. From experience we had daily updates for 3 weeks before the status changed to ISSUED.

hi a_ saif. my case was updated on November 29.status was turned to ready open case..it was ready for interview for 49 days.

when was ur interview date? how long ur been waiting?

Hi geonval! I know the waiting is very frustrating. But once it is approved and when your passport and documents are still with the embassy, it will be issued. The only problem is the waiting hehehe

I dont know if you're using your phone because you cant see my signature but my interview was on Sept 3, 2013 and it went to AP on Oct 8, 2013. I hope that helps.

Hello everyone! I'm on the same situation as well with you guys. Was interviewed last January 7, 2014 and our case went that day to READY (Your case is open). Then after a week (Jan.14,2014), our case updated to AP then last January 22, 2014 it went back to Ready (Your case is open) again. I'm praying and hoping that it will be ISSUED soon. Keeps your hopes high guys! God Bless you all!

[Hank_ 9,174]

Issued is just around the corner
