QUESTION:

When I check on CEAC status is "Ready" Your case is ready for your interview when scheduled at the U.S. Consular section. If you have already scheduled an appointment for an interview, please prepare your documents as directed in your appointment letter and appear at the consulate on the appointed date and time. Otherwise, please wait until you have been notified of your interview appointment. Additional information about how Immigrant Visa interview appointments are scheduled can be found at:http://travel.state.gov/visa/immigrants/info/info_3731.html

Does this mean the embassy received the case already and will be sending out packet 3?

Yes :)

ATTENTION ATENCIÓN ATTENZIONE!!

Please Read This!!

If you haven't contacted your congressman yet - do so ASAP.

I don't know if you guys have seen this thread from a former USCIS adjudicator, but I saw it just now. He has some very interesting and helpful things to say. If you haven't seen it yet you should definitely read it. It'll probably help you.

One of the most interesting/helpful things I found - for those of us December filers who still haven't been approved - is what he had to say about Congressional inquiries. Namely that when you file a congressional inquiry, "those get pulled and worked right away (usually)." !

"i.e. Senator Numbnuts says "CIS - I understand from my constituent - Mr. Hotn'bothered that (according to him) you have been processing his application for his dear fiance in a less than timely manner. Can you please look into this matter and let my office know when it will be approved." System usually says - "pull and work file immediately" 'Nuff said."

So do it - if you haven't already. We all qualify since it has taken so much longer than promised.

He also gives some great insights into what goes on there and why things take so long. Reading this could help ease your mind a bit.

Dec 19th TSC filer here. After being denied two service inquiries via USCIS, one at the 5 month mark and the other at the 6 month mark, I placed a inquiry via my senator's office last week. Not sure if it is a coincidence since I haven't heard back from my senator's office yet but, my Petition was approved today! Hopefully, there will be more of us Dec filers being approved shortly. Good luck guys.

congrats, I hope your luck rubs off on us as well. PRaying and hoping. I sent my privacy release to my congressman's office yesterday. I was contacted today that it was received and she is putting in the inquiry. I hope just like the info provided by Jonyork that it gets pulled and moved up.

I did contact my senator's office but i never got a response from them.

I mailed my application on the 14th and it was received on the 19th. I received my Noa1 on the 24th. I figured my file date does not start until it is actually received by the USCIS. That is why I put the 19th as the date.
