Cannot track passport

[CjBryan19 11]

Hello! Any advice here would be greatly appreciated, i have my interview 2 weeks ago i was approved with 221g because of my police clearance then still on process, on Jul 30 hong kong police already sent my police clearance to the consulate and still no update, ceac status still under AP and i cannot track my passport?

Its really frustrating i just wanna cry and give up already!

I would try to calm down, you are stressing yourself for nothing. Your CEAC status shows AP because your visa still has not been issued.

You mentioned that the embassy received the Hong Kong police certificate on Jul 30th, that was on Wednesday. Lets assume that envelope was not opened till Thursday. So it has only been 2 days, Thursday and Friday, that the embassy has had the police certificate. 2 days is not something you should be freaking out about.

Give them some time to actually get to add the police certificate to your case file and then forward it to the correct department so that your visa may be issued. I am sure you will hear something by the end of the week.

Yes i agree with B & G...you shouldn't be stressed out yourself... It will be issued soon maybe this week...

I waited mine for 12days before received my passport on hand...

Also you cant track your passport.. Theres nothing you can do just wait til your visa is at ISSUED then you can check it via 2go e-trace bear in mind that will take 2-3days before the embassy will transit to 2go courier...

I understand the feeling...

I was the same way... Worrying and kept stressing myself till i got my passport on hand...

God is Good...

Relax and smile you will get it soon...

My wife is in the same situation...Approved but got a 221(g) for Hong Kong PC...Hong Kong said they maileded it to the Embassy via registered mail on July 9. My wife's interview was 7/25 and the Embassy said that they didn't have the PC. As of 7/28 they still didn't have it. They said that they'd notify her when they get it. Well...I would assume that 3-1/2 - 4 weeks would be plenty of time for the Embassy to receive the PC and then put it into her file. She's calling them tomorrow to find out if they've received/processed it yet. VERY frustrating!

Hello i hope u have your PC at the consulate already, mine i keep on sending them email asking about my PC clearance it took 1 month and 4 days to complete and forward to the embassy.

When did you request your PC from Hong Kong?

Hong Kong sent the PC on 7/9 - would hope that the Embassy has received it.

When you say it took a month...do you mean the amount of time for Hong Kong to process and send your PC or do you mean from the time that the Embassy received it from Hong Kong? PC's from Hong Kong usually take 3 - 4 weeks to process. Just wondering how long the Embassy will sit on it before completing the Visa?

Thanks!

Wow it took really that long? Mine was just being sent to the consulate last 7/30, i sent my request before end of May, but they return it to my fiancee 6/23 and re-mailed to them the same day! i''m gonna cry, your wife's pc was sent 7/9 and yet still not on their file what more of my PC?

Yup! Have no idea what the hold up is. Hong Kong sends packages to the Embassy via registered mail...which doesn't mean much except they should get a receipt indicating that the package was received by someone at the Embassy on a particular date. My wife is going to call a friend of hers in HK to call the HK Police Department to find out if they've received the return receipt to find out what date it was actually delivered to the Embassy and who signed for the package! Seems that there were others who have similar issues with PCs from HK.

Once we know when the PC was delivered to the Embassy - it will be hard for them to tell us that they haven't received yet when we have proof of delivery. Not being able to do much more than that is frustrating. My wife ordered her PC from HK in June..and, as I've said before, they sent it out on 7/9. The mail system in the PI is one of the worst! I've sent cards to my wife in Manila and some of them took as long as a month to get there from the US! Crazy!

I hope that all of this is over very soon for you and yours as well as for us so that we can move on with life!!!

Ingat!!!

Salamat mine says was sent to registered mail 7/30 i know how terrible postal service here is but if they use FedEx or DHL will only takes 2-3 days...i tried calling USEM this afternoon i just waste my prepaid load lol all they can say is press this number etc. i was thinking, what of i just go to the embassy? Like what i did when i ask for request letter before to apply for HK PC?

[CjBryan19 11]

Yup! I would have thought that they would use FED EX or LBC or DHL...far more practical! Even by "packet" would seem to be more reasonable. I suggested to Gina that she pay for return DHL envelope to include with her PC request. But, she thought that there would be enough time and that it would be a waste of money or that the HK Police would not use the pre-paid return envelope. I do that here if I need to get an immediate response from a government agency.

The times that Gina has called the Embassy she has been able to get through to talk to someone. But, the answers she got were usually general. Understandably, the Embassy is overwhelmed...they can't answer everyone's little questions. So....we wait and wait and wait!

Not sure if you'll get anywhere trying to go to the Embassy...although, that seems like the most logical next step! Arghhhhh! It's frustrating when you can't get answers or information.

Stay in touch.
