Stuck in READY

[himanshu.pnt 2]

Same here.. Was approved on Sept 9th and since then CEAC status is Ready for interview..

However Status updated date has changed to Sept 22 from Sept 9th.

Also the passport tracker website now says, No status update available on the passport number submitted.

When I email ustraveldocs support they have the generic response with no real updates > Your case is being processed..

Frustrating..

What embassy are you waiting at, himanshu?

I wonder why cases seem to be stuck from the beginning of September? Not all cases, but at least a few here.

I called NVC this morning, but they didn't have any news for me. Only that we received an email recently.

It's New Delhi, India embassy.. They won't escalate my case to embassy any more and give the generic response. Wait and just wait, lol..

Maybe we are all stuck in some sort of DoS "quality review"? Hopefully our wait is near it's end!

Good news, himanshu! I suspect yours should change to Issued by tomorrow or at least within three to five days! Keep us posted!

Any movement for anyone else?

Now I worry as my petition expires on Oct 9th 2015 and I don't think i will be able to travel before this date. I have seen some cases here

on VJ forum, where people were denied at POE because their petition expired even though they had a valid visa. This is scary.

Anyone knows how to get my petition expiration date extended ? Better to be safe then sorry I think..

The embassy can easily extend the petition and they typically do. You can email them and ask them to do so. I saw that story too. I think we will be emailing the embassy asking for the petition to be extended just in case. That really shouldn't have happened.

I email usem manila about my visa status then got email from usem manila today. But in ceac still AP.

We have now approved the visa. Barring unforeseen problems, the visa packet will be delivered to your designated address by guaranteed courier service.

We advise our clients not to finalize travel plans, dispose of their properties, or give up jobs until the visa is actually delivered to the applicant.

I was seeing some KBL cases that took about a week after their K-1 changed from Nonimmigrant-Ready to Nonimmigrant-AP. So this is the last step!

Why do some take longer than others?? But it should be Issued before this week ends! Let us know!

My visa status shows that it is issued today.. Hope I get my passport soon now..

Thanks.. What's your status update Amhara?

Thanks.. What's your status update Amhara?

The embassy said that they received his medical report (which was received two months before the email), and they are working on assembling his final visa package for issuance. They said since they have a lot of cases, it may take a few days before it's finalized. They also called him my client!

They have been working on his final issuance for the past 28 days and we've been 21 days without an update! I seen at least four new cases that were updated either two days ago (Sept 29th) or last night (Sept 30th). Previously they all were in "Ready" and now two of them are in "AP". They were created in the early half of June; created about 50 days after us. Based on Internet chatter, these cases had their interviews in September.

I know in my head that comparing yourself only steals your joy, but my heart sinks each day I wake up and I see "READY" and September 10th. I want to believe that it will change in a few days, but after 28 days of that hope, your joy starts to fade anyway.

It's coming! It's coming. It's coming.... It's coming???
