Good luck KAR_SAT

Congrats on the CEAC message update to Visa Issues diyap

Evidently, when the consulate says "You're Approved" doesnt mean it's all done. My case went into "Administrative Processing" with the CEAC date Case Creation Date changing from the original middle-of-March to now showing May 06 :(

I called the visa services number and they said it can take up to 60 days. kheir.

diyap,

good news -> Case status went from "AP" -> "Issued" today for me as well!

On the 3rd Working day:

CEAC (Dept Of State) shows NVC Case # status with

- "Case Creation Date" of May 06

- "Case Update" Date as today May 07

- Status changed from "Administrative Processing" => "Issued"

The website for "cgifederal" where you book your interview and fingerprint shows

"Your passport is still with the US Embassy/Consulate"

US Travel Docs Passport Tracker (for non-immigrant K-1 visa) at http://www.ustraveldocs.com/in/in-niv-passporttrack.aspalso shows: " Your passport is still with the US Embassy/Consulate"

I'm translating that to mean passport and docs have not shipped to the designated pickup center (HYD for me).

You see that on which site? Assuming not CEAC, but either the ustraveldoc or cgifederal.

Please keep us posted when status changes to shipped. Curious how long it takes to ship out after Consulate office is done. Also, if it's shipped overnight or not.

Thanks in advance!

What is status of your passport?

Finally shows "Ready for Pickup" as of late Monday (after 4pm closing time of VAC in HYD).

This is on the cgifederal website as well as when I put in the passport number to track.

Two things that have not happened are

a) SMS, have not recieved

b) CEAC site says "Issued". Not aware if it is supposed to say "Ready for Pickup"
