During our interview we also received a 221(g) and had to complete and interview with NBI to satisfy some past court cases. My wife had the information that was required and therefore it was a simple interview with NBI. They responded back to USEM and less than 2 weeks later we had our visa in hand.

Just do you submission as requested by your 221(g) and you should be good to go.

They had the information in email and physically by Feb. 5th. We are past that, and still waiting based on my original post.

Hoping we get some movement this coming week.

Just checked the status this morning and we have now changed to Administrative Processing, date updated on Apr 22. We're really hoping for an Issued soon!

Just checked the status this morning and we have now changed to Administrative Processing, date updated on Apr 22. We're really hoping for an Issued soon!

Here is how it "normally" works:

The first AP is the immigration unit doing the paperwork for approving the visa

The first ready is a notice that they are finished and the paperwork is being sent for visa issuance

The second AP is the visa issuance people doing their own paperwork

The second ready is that the visa has been issued and is currently being processed for delivery

Then the "issue" is posted and the visa has left USEM and on it's way to you with love. Time to party!!!

 

Delivery shouldn't be much more than 2-3 days depending on what you requested for your delivery.

Yes, I'm hoping we are in that 2nd AP status for the visa issuance. Here's to hoping that the rest of the process will start to follow the 'normal' timelines others have seen for actual issuance!

She elected to pick up the passport at the MOA location...then it's off to CFO as soon as that's in hand.

Congrats, xchaos!

I saw the same update on my case as well, also from Non-immi page before it's moved to the Immigrant visa section.

Good luck! I hope you get to finish line soon

Good news after good news! Cheers!

Yea, thanks! We are very happy after all the stress of the AP and previous visa issue. Finally get to a positive place!

andieapril, suspect you were in the same batch as us so should be going to issued soon for you as well! I think their just must be a bit of a backlog going on right now in the processing...considering they haven't even opened up new interview dates yet and have a queue of people waiting for that.

Just have to exhibit lots of patience and remember that it IS in process and will eventually move along...eventually! lol I know that doesn't help when you are staring at that update screen 5 times a day...

[andieapril 1]

Congratulations, I am so happy for you guys!

Praying for mine to come soon

And 2go has the passport...tracked it via UID number. We should have it in hand early next week and get CFO done...moving along fabulously now!
