Ceac "no status" after being approved

[Luxylux 0]

Hi guys,

I'm probably worrying about nothing again (ahem) but I had my interview today in London and the guy told me I was approved. I spent the whole day on cloud 9 and tonight I checked my status on ceac... and it says "no status"?! what does that mean? And also when my visa is ready, will they notify me by email or by text? I decided to pick it up as it's close to work and I can't afford any extra expense.

Thanks so much guys!!!

Did you choose "Immigrant visa"? https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx

I didn't at first as the fiancé visa is a non immigrant visa, isn't it? But anyway if I choose "immigrant" then it tells me something like my application number isn't recognised...

Yes, K-1 is a non-immigrant visa but it is processed by the Immigrant visa unit of the embassy. Confusing, I know!

But in checking for a K1 visa status in the ceac site, one has to choose the Immigrant visa option. Make sure you have all the numbers correct, including the "LND" letters too.

Did it work before with your case number? Did you also use the letters? LNDxxxxxxxx

K1s are processed by the Immigrant Visa Unit so you align with immigrant rather than the procedures for student or tourist visas.

Edit: Oops. Was posting at the same time, so said the same thing.

OMG, thank you so much! I had just been stupidly using the same application number and it didn't work (because I used the AA00 number). I've now tried with my LND number and it worked.

It says that my visa is in "administrative processing" but I have read that it's quite common to show this way even after being approved so I'm less worried.

Thank you so much!

AP is necessary while they finish up the paperwork, it's a great sign! Keep an eye on it, and when the "case creation date" changes it means your visa will be "ready" soon!

I can't wait to actually have it in my hands! I think everything went so smoothly in comparison to what I was expecting that I keep on thinking something terrible might now happen! (silly me!)

Thank you!!

That is totally normal! I felt the same way, I was a nervous wreck waiting for him to get off the plane! All should be well now, We're marrying this weekend, so we have extra time to file that AoS before the 90 days up and he's not "out of status" at all!

If you don't already have plans, I would recommend a quick "courthouse" wedding (ours will be outside with a Justice of the Peace, and a small simply ceremony with only my mother and children present, but it's the same general idea). You can put something lovely and intimate together, even look up some "Elopement Packages" in your state! Some offer a fantastic and very classy service for under $1k, with a night's stay, meal(s), and fully prepared ceremony in their home, garden, courtyard, etc.

We're going to have an "unofficial" (since we'll be technically married) ceremony next summer, when we have time to book vendors and the such.

We actually have booked a lovely venue for March 1st and we are planning a lovely, quite small (50 people) wedding with our close ones and families.

But as everything went quicker than we thought I will move right before the holidays (so excited about that!!) and we'll probably to a quick courthouse wedding early January so I can already file for my AoS and we are not "loosing" the two months-ish before the "big/real" wedding.

Enjoy your wedding this weekend and all my congratulations to you both!! xx
