Issued! The interview was on December 2nd, on the 5th SEAC status changed to Administrative Processing and today, on the 7th it says Issued. Now it's carved in stone finally and I am out of any doubt

I did do a lot of front loading. I even sent them a 25 page child art style book I made (which I let the kids color) that explained our whole story with pictures instead of words.

I am so frustrated with Kingston.. They won't even let me talk to anyone on the phone. NVC sttd my case has been there since 11/24 but they claim it's not when I emailed them Friday. Called and it's all automated. Emailed yesterday-no response. I honestly don't think any other embassy is as bad at communicating and getting people scheduled as Jamaica. Guess their focus is getting the tourist visa money in for the ppl trying to come for Christmas.

Communication is delayed and not so good.

How the do scheduling leaves much to be desired.

I truly think the date is coming soon. It could be due to the Thanksgiving holiday that they didn't do any work. I think maybe that is what happened. They probably starting a fresh this week.

Marleym I am happy for you too.

Did you also get a late Jan date. It's still pretty far maybe because of the holidays or a number of people before me

wow so many January Interviews! Congrats.

We are still stuck at NVC. Still under supervisor review (even though they told me 3 times that our case is complete. That is more than weird.)

But htere is nothing we can do. Just wait and hope for the best.

I don't even think that we will get a January Interview.
