VISA STATUS

[Réina17 77]

Hello guys! Had interview yesterday and it was approved!!! Now I have a question lol I recently checked my status and it says :

U.S. Department of State

NONIMMIGRANT VISA APPLICATION

Ready

Application ID or Case Number:

MNL2016 01 MNL

Case Creation Date: Nov-2016

Status Updated Date: Nov-2016

Your case is open. Please check your status after two business days via the CEAC launch page at https://ceac.state.gov/CEAC/.

For more information, please visit U.S. Embassy Manila.

What does this mean?

Your still need to see ISSUED status on the CEAC website. (check under immigrant) Status normally goes from READY to AP then READY again and finally ISSUED. After that it can be another 5-10 days for the visa to be delivered

Some visa applications require further administrative processing, which takes additional time after the visa applicant’s interview by a consular officer. Applicants are advised of this requirement when they apply. Most administrative processing is resolved within 60 days of the visa interview. When administrative processing is required, the timing will vary based on the individual circumstances of each case. You can check the status of your visa application at ceac.state.gov.

There is tracking info at the bottom of this page: http://visaconnection-philippines.com/index.php/2-visa-process/3-usem-k-1-visa

Wait for the "Issued" status. That's all you need to do for now. I had mine on, Ready-AP-Approved, all in 3 days. So it changed everyday. Every case is different so just be patient.

Good luck

Just about everyone gets this. Based on the discussions I had with the case officer he informed me of the steps for Embassy Manila:

the first AP is the immigration unit doing the paperwork for approving the visa
the first ready is a notice that they are finished and the paperwork is being sent for visa issuance
the second AP is the visa issuance people doing their own paperwork
the second ready is that the visa has been issued and is currently being processed for delivery

Then "issue" is posted and the visa has left the BIG house to YOUR house.

Yup you're in a normal state.

We went from "Ready" to "Ready (Open status)" then "AP" then 3-4 days later "Issued" then about 4 more days got a text from 2go that visa and packet were ready for pickup. If that's what youre planning on doing anyways, otherwise it should be shipped probably same time frame.
