CEAC status changed

[PengW 0]

CEAC status changed from "ready" to "Administrative Processing". This happened about 2 weeks after I received NVC letter which saying that my case has been forwarded to US embassy in Guangzhou. Does this mean my fiance will be getting P3 soon? How can I check my case status at this point besides using CEAC? Thank you and best luck to everyone.

Yes, this was the case for me. P3 and then P4 came very soon after administrative processing. Although I'm sure there are exceptions so don't want to guarantee anything. I would recommend calling the DOS hotline as they can tell you from this point when the embassy has sent out the P3 and if they have received it once you mail it back.

Thank you for replying Tim.

So my fiancé is most likely to receive P3 pretty soon? That'd be awesome, I can't wait to get this over with. I've been using DHL reference tracking my case file, however all packages are seemed still in clearance delay. Hopefully the K1 visa has some priority when coming to this stage in embassy. Thanks again and best luck to you

Yes, I would imagine she would receive it soon. Although if your case is still not at the embassy that may complicate things. A trick I used is to send in the P3 documents after they tell you they mailed the packet to you. It's a shortcut that can shave a few weeks off that process. The P4 and interview should follow soon after.

Not yet, still waiting....CEAC status changed on 17th I believe, I'm not sure how long it'll take for embassy to mail out the P3. I'll keep you updated.

FYI, I got reply from GuangZhou embassy:

Thank you for your inquiry.

According to our record the applicant’s file has been uploaded into our system and a packet was sent to the applicant’s address as provided in the visa petition. Once the applicant fills out the forms, mails it to the consulate, and IV Unit receives this information from the applicant, IV Unit will send out a notice regarding interview date. If the applicant has not received such packet within 4 weeks, please provide the most updated telephone number and Chinese mailing address in both Chinese and English at http://guangzhou.usembassy-china.org.cn//immigrant-visa-unit-question.html .

I'm not sure if you mean the following website?

https://cgifederal.secure.force.com/?language=Chinese%20(Simplified)&country=China

Yes, my fiance was able to register on this website. What's the error message on the web preventing you from register BTW?

This is the error message:

That's strange. I think I have also seen other people having the same issue, not sure why. I would call DoS to find out. The registration process went fine on us, I hope that's just a temporary thing.

Do you mind if I ask what city your fiance is located? Mine is in Shenyang, Liaoning province.
