This is exactly right; we have to be logical here. The last we know for sure is that they are making progress and even have processed a small number for the first priority to be processed. Some of the

Guys, have you been following? This is the norm right now. Unfortunately a lot of ours are going to stay at 'ready' status for a little while longer. Means it hasn't been processed yet, so you won't h

I am SO angry about this. I have been waiting over 20 months to be with my family since I started this process. I was banking on getting my visa within the 2 weeks. Nope, I have to be out of my apartm

You guys are lucky that you are getting updated statuses. My fiancé had his interview June 2nd. He did his medical a day before so it took a couple of days for it to get to the embassy.. Plus there was a holiday that week in Rio. By June 9th the systems were down and we haven't gotten an update since June 12 :/

We messaged them about it because we weren't sure if they printed the visa or not by June 9th and they said they didn't but our visa was approved and stated they are just waiting for it to be printed :/

Yeah I'm not getting any status update since 10th on CEAC. Interview June 4th, 221g-missing document, submitted June 5th. Do they have your passport? What is passport tracking telling you?

This may have been said but there are so many posts lol! I'm so concerned still about timing on this. We had our interview June 15th but our status on CEAC STILL says just ready. Does it not change until they print the visa? And more than that, anyone have any timeline for the backlog? Have later interviewed people like us gotten their visa? Our consulate is one of the 39, and someone we know with a June 9 interview date (k1; same consulate) got issued their visa on Monday. We wanted to get married on Tuesday :(

Ps- just read some others also still have ready statuses. Are they working 24/7 to clear the backlog, too, or just fix the rest of the problem?! I'm concerned at how much more we'll be delayed by the backlog.

So crazy things happened today. CEAC still shows its hasn't been issued yet, butttt..... I got an email from the Embassy in Bogota telling me it was sent through DHL and we can pick it up in 2 or days at the DHL desk... :dancing::goofy: So a ray of hope that things are moving through the system now pretty fast....

Manila has just been reconnected, but no change of status as of yet when I checked our case at CEAC. I got nothing also when I tracked my wife's passport. Just like what has been suggested earlier, please continue to share any updates on your case here especially now that 39 posts of the Bureau of Consular Affairs have already been reconnected. It would be really nice to see someone post, "I got my visa!!!" for a change. :rolleyes:

I just checked the US Embassy manila's facebook and they are stating that non-immigrants are now back to scheduling interviews and printing visas. They didn't mention anything about immigrant visas. So frustrating, I've been waiting for my sister's visa since her interview last June 5. :(
