[RedPepper 9]

Thank you RedPepper Goodluck and Bon Voyage

Thanks NoOtherWoman! Don't worry... Your visa will be in your hands in no time just be patient

Just got off the phone with 2GO and my fiancee's passport/visa is also out for delivery today! Thanks Red Pepper for all your info and help. Good luck everyone else!

Wow that's good news! I'm glad that my suggestions worked as it worked for me! It feels good to be of help--always!

Congrats!

me i cant get through 2go line yet...

Well once your call gets in, please make sure to update us immediately. Can't wait to hear good news! Don't worry I am confident that we are soon going to celebrate because your visa is already on hand! Cool!

got a text from 2go this morning. my passport will be delivered this afternoon!

Wow! Good news upon good news! Woot-woot! Congratulations!!!

My fiancee had her interview on Jan 14, and was given the 221g for some NSO items. I know the embassy received the last item directly from NSO on 1/24, and I keep checking the CEAC website for some other status besides "Administrative Processing" which was last updated 1/28.

From what I've read here, I'm waiting for the status of the CEAC website to show Ready, then Issued? If anyone can shed some light about what those mean, and perhaps the number of days between those items, and how that relates to when 2go finally has it, that would be wonderful.

All of you make this process more bearable. Thanks!

I can relate to the feeling! But just hang in there it will be all done in no time--patience is a virtue!

Administrative processing--is when they need additional time, documents or proof to decide whether to give you a Visa or not

Ready--is when the American consul is reviewing your documents and maybe satisfied with the documents They received.

Issued--Visa OK. but visa has yet to be printed on your passport and your packet has yet to be put together.

Issued--also means that in a few days, your visa should be in transit for delivery.

Hi! I want to thank all of you for sharing your experiences here. It helped me manage my expectations. Anyway, I had my interview yesterday and I was informed that my visa application has been approved. Yay!

I encountered similar questions that were posted here except that I was also asked how old my husband is and how old I am. Mega compute ako. Hehe. The actual interview was quick although the queue was long. In total, I was at USEM for 6 hours. But the approval was worth the wait!

So now, I am waiting for a text from 2Go to know when my visa will be delivered. How long does it usually take for 2Go to contact applicants? I tried tracking my passport via the 2Go website, but there were no available information.

Thanks again!

So after the 16th interview we were still in "ready" status. After some frantic phone calls we found out it was still hung up because our one K2 application is a US citizen and is now being processed through CRBA. That part is done and they were supposed to proceed with the K1 and the other K2. (that story is in another post). So it seems instead of moving on, our packet was sitting there in a state of confusion. I finally was able to talk to our actual American interviewer who assured us we were OK and she would move it forward. So today, the status still says "Ready" at the bottom but up on top the "Case Creation date" and "Status updated date" changed to today (Jan 30th) along with a note that says; Your case is open. Please check your status after two business days.

Anyone ever experience that?? Why would the case creation date change??? What does case open mean after it was ready???

Annie recieved her visa in hand yesterday. It was delivered by 2Go to her house in San Antonio Zambales. Her interview was Jan 16 and she was told she was approved then. On Monday the status changed to Issued. Was never able to see a status at 2Go..

Thanks RedPepper!

Update: I spoke with the American interviewer on the phone on Wed and she confirmed she will move it forward. Yesterday nothing but today it changed from ready to AP. Is this normal? The note above says it could take several weeks and to follow instructions given at the time of interview. Everything is supposed to be OK with no instructions given. So is this a canned statement and is this normal?..
