CEAC Status "Case Created" Date changed?

[Natonstan 129]

cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Does that mean you can pick it up or just track it?

Delivery on monday, I just called and asked about a delivery tomorrow and she said it's just arriving in the depot over there near London I presume so I'd have to call back later but she did say it would cost, after already paying £19 I don't think I want to pay anymore so I think i'll just leave it till monday morning, at least it gives me the weekend to pack and say my goodbyes!

I didn't pay extra delivery, I am going to pick mine up!! I think it would be nice for you to have your time to say goodbye, after all we won't be allowed to travel home and see loved ones for a while! I haven't looked into where the visa gets delivered too, somewhere in Manchester. Do you have a phone number for when I need to ring them to pick it up? I am really happy for you by the way, stay in touch and let me know how POE goes. I have read reviews and it seems fine, I will be at POE in Philadelphia, but they have always seemed a friendly lot.

Are you having it delivered to your house then?

I'm picking mine up because there's one in my town (Ipswich)

I'm really hoping we all get ours in time. I know I should have waited til I got it to book my flight but I assumed we'd be okay because the lady who interviewed me said I should get it around the 20th. xD

You got your tracking number yet? Natonstan has just got his.

Then number is 0844 371 0000, when it asks you for tracking number just hit your star key * and then you'll be put through to someone, everyone i've spoken to at DX seemed friendly enough, you might be waiting on hold for around 5 minutes but it's no big deal. I MIGHT be going through Philly too, the last time I went through there was on 9/11 last year so you can imagine how bad security was at that time. One thing that's concerning me is the fact I have to connect, obviously the layover times are always around 2 hours, I just hope this is enough time!

Oh and i'll definitely be keeping in touch with everyone!

My fiance had his interview yesterday and the case creation date changed today. We aren't in a hurry as he isn't coming until the first week of May.I suppose we're just curious because we weren't expecting this to change until next week. Any thoughts?

[otter~ 17]

GOT THE EMAIL AT 1PM EXACTLY TOO

AND the awesome guy from DX left me a voicemail saying my name was on their system now and just call tomorrow morning to double check that it's there and I can come get it!!

This is the best news! I was SO sad thinking I would have to cancel my flight. Now all the plans me an my fiancé have for my birthday will be able to happen. So happy! And so happy for you too Natonstan!!! We were right to think we would get them today xD (the emails)

Any updates on yours yet Shell?

And Trixie that is a good sign! Looks like London is being fast it should change to AP and then Issued next week!

Also I will add I was napping and then woke up to this great news. Brilliant

Yeah that might be a problem, it depends what flight you get into Philly, I went once and arrived around 4.30 on a Friday it was dead, then last time I arrived on a Saturday and three aircrafts had landed and the wait was unbearable, hot and sticky! Border control told me if I wanted no delay to get a BA flight and they quoted a number. I am travelling on a Saturday next time, so I am expecting a delay! Thanks for the number, just been looking up the location to pick it up and it's about 10 mins drive away for me at Trafford Park Industrial estate, so pretty much a straight road.

We got ours..we are definitely asking about Saturday delivery to get Sunday flight. My work week next week has little flexibility. It would be heartbreaking to pick him up Tuesday in time to get a few hours sleep then not see him again until the following Sunday

Yes, it got issued yesterday a day after you guys. I'm assuming because I didn't give a definite date and said ASAP, they didn't rush mine. I'm not in a rush to gt my passport either, I am not flying out until May 10th, booked my ticket a couple of days ago. It's so hard to say goodbye to my son and cat!

Can you not pick it up, that might be a little quicker?

Yeah I am getting upset thinking about saying goodbye to my family and my cats I wish I could have took my cats with me but we won't be in our own home for a while (fiancé is in an apartment which doesn't allow cats/dogs) and then we will be at his parents for a bit and they have 2 dogs and 2 cats and my cats have never really been around dogs and I don't want to stress the kitties out at all.

Tammy and Mark, if there is a nearby depot try to collect it there though DX are really nice people from what I have seen and might fit in an earlier delivery for it. ^^

[scottym27 19]

Congrats all 1pm must be their collection time!

Safe flights to you and enjoy your time with your loves :D

[Natonstan 129]

Ok guys i'm mad, I was just booking a flight, UNTIL I REALISED I DON'T HAVE MY PASSPORT EXPIRY WRITTEN DOWN ANYWHERE! I have my passport number on multiple documents, but not the expiry date! So now I'm gonna have to wait till I have my passport in my hand before I can book a flight!

[otter~ 17]

Who are you flying with? Delta didn't ask me for my passport details. I remember my fiancé not having his passport through yet when he booked his flight with United as well (though he booked that over the phone and explained it ) maybe you could try calling who you are booking with and explain you're waiting for the passport and that's the only peice of info you can't remember?

Otter you're my savior, I found out the passport box is optional, I was putting in my number and it wouldn't let me do that AND put the date in, if i left both it worked!

CEAC now says Administrative Processing. On average, how long does it stay in AP before it moves to issued?
