Hi Duvalin - ^^ see above^^ when you get a number and you go wait upstairs - don't be worried if its not in order...i noticed different windows for when they collect docs = one was calling all the od

Just a little "fine tuning" after "AT NVC"... "IN TRANSIT" means that NVC has entered your packet into the DHL system. Your status will stay "IN TRANSIT" while your packet is still physically at NVC

im not sure if its somewhere on the site but can someone break down what ceac update means. I guess the READY one is what I need help with.

AT NVC means at NVC and it hasn't left, or it can say at nvc and it be at the embassy? and AP means AP .. when it says READY does that mean it left NVC and at the embassy and interview is booked? and after the interview ISSUED means the visa is printed and passport is good to go? sorry if its been asked but im just finished with NVC and want to understand the updates

Thanks!

Hi Rachel,

I think he will need a sentencia for the interview. I only sent my husband's divorce certificate at uscis and both decree and certificate copy to NVC, since NVC does not request the decree but they do at the consulate.

Thanks!

I will try to explain;

When the case is complete and still at NVC, status at CEAC shows "AT NVC"

When interview is scheduled and case is sent to the embassy or consulate, status at CEAC shows "READY"

After the interview and while the visa is being processed, status at CEAC shows " ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSING"

When processing is complete and visa is ready, the status at CEAC shows "ISSUED"

Visa is scheduled for pick up
