Hello...may i know how did you get your Invoice ID Number? I haven't receive my Packet 3 from USEM yet. My case status at CEAC was Ready at June 4, 2015. Is the USEM send you the IIN or should i call the NVC? I wanted to fill up the forms but i cant proceed as it needs to have an IIN. Please help i dont know what to do next thanks.

Go to my website and use the guides there. http://tinyurl.com/ob9xoa8

Your wasting valuable time waiting for something that will never arrive. You can get your MNL # and then complete your DS-160, pay your fee, and set your interview appointment and there are many more steps that need to be completed. So don't waste any more time.

It means that Elvis will leave the building soon. Relax.... the ink is drying on the visa page of your passport and will be leaving the BIG house to your house soon. Expect delivery by the weekend is my guess.

Status changed to AP today after being stuck on Ready for 8 days. Hmmm....

It's difficult for anyone to predict when you will receive your visa. We are in normal times and we are seeing 5 to 10 business days. But, we have seen upwards of 30 days to 6 months for some.

Part of the test measures is estimating the time it will take USEM to process, issue and 2Go to deliver. Since no one can exactly simulate all visa conditions, actual visa processing of each person will vary. As a result, when these estimated visa claims from other applicants are published, I almost always state the standard disclaimer "your mileage may vary."

Do not finalize arrangements for travel to the United States, dispose of properties, or resign from your job until a visa has been issued and delivered to you.

But mine was stuck on ready status and updated on ready status again..

It means they are "touching" your file in the matter keeping with processing. This is where you have to have a lot of patience. You'll have it soon. I see nothing wrong with what you said about the updates on your status.

I would love for our case to be "touched", just to show they're at least working on it. Our status message and date hasn't changed for almost 2 months, I'm beginning to think they lost our file :rofl:.

If your case hasn't been touched in a long time, that just means you're in a long queue right? Maybe one day, when a CO is feeling overly zealous and had a great breakfast, and when the planets are aligned just right, they'll process us!

Have you called up USEM if they received your updated NBI already? I would assume that your status should change into ready once received. Maybe they haven't received it yet? 2 months is too much just for 1 additional document. Hope your status changes tomorrow.

Well we sent the NBI at a 2GO branch literally within walking distance of the embassy on 4/28. On 4/29 2GO tracking showed it was delivered. 4/30 CEAC status date updated -- Probably inserting the doc into our file. Our status still says:

"Your case is under administrative processing. Please see the letter you received at your interview for more information. If you are required to submit additional documents, please submit them to the U.S. Embassy via any branch of 2GO courier service (Attn: Immigrant Visa Unit) together with a copy of the letter."

I've emailed them 3 times, where the 3rd time I asked to confirm they received the doc... I got the same copy/paste email reply for all 3 telling me to wait and keep checking CEAC.

You can't call them anymore. They've removed the option to speak to an agent about visa status. I've tried both Philippine and US based phone numbers.
