Ceac showing as immigrant not non-immigrant?

[andrewHjames 0]

Hi all,

Hoping someone might be able to help me with this or have some experience. This is regarding a K-1 visa application (London based); So I completed the DS-160, arranged my medical for Wednesday and I've submitted my details on 'notification of application readiness' webpage. Once submitted I wanted to check that it had gone through correctly but I couldn't find my details under 'non-immigrant' only via the 'immigrant check my visa application status link'.

I'm a little concerned I might have done something wrong in the process and wanted to run it by the community and if I have how I resolve this. I've followed all the instructions so not sure how this has happened.

Thanks,

Andy

Try checking using the "Immigrant Visa" option. I have filed for a K-1 visa for my fiancée, and that is where I find the case progress for her.

Yes sorry it does come up under Immigrant Visa, but isn't the K-1 visa a non-immigrant visa? That's why I'm confused it's coming up in this way.

Just seen this:

So I guess I don't need to worry

You can use the barcode number from the 160 form to check it under non-immigrant (after interview....if I remember right). Using the NVC number you have to use immigrant

For a case interviewing in London, you will find everything under Immigrant because it is the Immigrant Visa Unit that processes your case. That includes when you go online to pay the visa fee and scheduled the courier. That includes when you use the contact form if you need to ask for information. When you queue on interview day, your "take a number" sticker will start with I.

After the interview your CEAC status will still say "ready" and Immigrant at first. Then it will change to saying Non-Immigrant, then status of AP, then Issued.

Again, this is the typical London process. Each consulate can be different.

Thanks for this. Just lastly as I know you help a lot of people on this site, is there a recent post you can think of where someone has given dates (London embassy specific) from when they submitted readiness to receiving there interview date? My medical is tomorrow so I'm assuming the 6 weeks starts from when I submitted readiness and they will receive my medical way before this. Just hoping that I get my interview date a few weeks earlier than 6.

Cheers
