Hi! At my interview in Montreal I was approved and told that I should have my visa by two weeks time. It has now been about 6 weeks since my interview and my CEAC status still says Ready to schedule an interview. I haven't been told that I am in administrative processing or anything else by the consulate. Has anyone else had a long, unexplained wait time for their visa?

What does the it say about the visa type? Is it still showing "Immigrant Visa Application" or "Nonimmigrant Visa Application"? I was in "Administrative Processing" for a long time; from December 19th until February 18th (essentially 2 months). Your current visa type should indicate what is going on.

When they are ready to issue a visa, it should change to "Nonimmigrant Visa Application"; at that time, you will know that you are a few days away from getting it. It would go from "Immigrant Visa Application" to "Nonimmigrant Visa Application" and go to "Ready" ==> "Administrative Processing" ==>> "Issued".

Sometimes, it might skip "Administrative Processing" and go from "Ready" to "Issued".

Best of luck

Hey hey! How are you?? Can i ask the question??

I had a status "At NVC" then in that day - "In transit", and on next day "Ready". So, does it mean I can make an appointment for the interwiev now, or I need to wait to the "Administrative Processing"????
