How long for Kingston embassy to update CEAC?

Salaam and peace, ya'll. Was wondering how long it takes before they update the CEAC website? My fiance turned his passport and his son's in on Nov. 12 but the website is still saying "Ready". It also states to check back after 2 business days for an update.

When our file was first transferred to the embassy something went wrong and it languished there for a couple of months until I emailed them and suddenly we had an interview date set! So I just like to stay on top of things and make sure nothing is slipping between the cracks. Thanks!

oh my, this is the black hole many of us have experienced with the US embassy at Kingston. CEAC is updated when they touch your case file. Could be an email response, could be they are actually processing the visa? You can always contact the Department of State to get limited info on you case.

It is random how long you go from ready to AP to issued.

This is part of why I am worried. He dropped off his passport on Nov. 12th but his case was last updated on Nov. 7th. Shouldn't they have logged in that they received his passport thus touching his case file and resulting in an updated date in CEAC if not an actual change of the status message?

It's not that I can't bear the wait I am just always afraid someone isn't going to do their job and I'll be sitting here in a month thinking, wow I should have called/emailed/tried something.

Thanks ya'll!
