Have you checked to see on the ceac if it's "in transit?" Mine didn't show up until Monday morning. We still haven't found any to London yet! You use the EXP 04 AUG 2014A (example) format for the reference. Plus, you put a different range dates in. Usually take a day or two to show up in the system though.

Our ceac status still says, AT NVC.

But I followed your steps and the original post on how to track and i'm getting nothing...

Hoping for our papers to be sent out TODAY, as we can't change our interview until consulate receives.

ahhhhh, always waiting...

Anyway, all the happy news on this site makes me happy too :)

Got the text! VISA APPROVED!!! I know his dad was watching over him this morning. Thank you dwheels, Saylin, k.dlg, jsumner, BOS_LHR, Kaylara, LifeOnHold, ArthurAndMarcela, LoveMyTico, aleksandra, all my September filers, everyone else I'm forgetting - LORD I feel like I just won an Oscar! Cue the exit music!

Visa issued.. I can't say I'm surprised, but even though the interviewer did say we were approved and he would try to issue it today, he did say as we were walking out 'as long as she had no criminal issues when she was in the US, she'll be fine'. Just enough to insert some doubt.. But I'm so glad it is done.

congrats!!!

Thank you everyone!!! On a whim, I checked the CEAC status and it's already in A/P!

CONGRATS on the approval and the SUPER FAST turnaround for the issuance!! :D

Got the text! VISA APPROVED!!! I know his dad was watching over him this morning. Thank you dwheels, Saylin, k.dlg, jsumner, BOS_LHR, Kaylara, LifeOnHold, ArthurAndMarcela, LoveMyTico, aleksandra, all my September filers, everyone else I'm forgetting - LORD I feel like I just won an Oscar!

No problem-. It takes a couple days for it to show, but just watch your status on the CEAC website to go from At NVC->In Transit->Ready. Then you know the embassy has received your case.

Yes - just went to In Transit on CEAC!

My Internet-fu's not as strong as your 'un - what range of dates did you put into DHL for EXP 04 AUG 2014A?

Another Q for yourself, and Brits in general, do you need an MMR jab/booster?
