Status changed to "Application Received" from "Ready"

[Mr. Eric 1]

Good, but slightly strange news - my status remains Application Received, but the Guangzhou (China) consulate finally responded to my email from mid last week. They did not explicitly say my fiancee's visa was accepted, but said that the printer is having an issue, and that there are an larger than normal amount of applicants, so we should be patient in waiting for the Consulate to deliver our visa. We'll take it!

Hi Dave

 

I had my k1 visa interview on 4/10 in Guangzhou and was approved. My visa status update has been similar too.

 

4/10 ~ somewhere around 5/10 Administrative proceeding ( I didn't check everyday)

 

5/15 Ready ( the update date said 5/2 though. And also it says non immigrant visa )

 

5/18 Application received (the date still says 5/2)

 

I'm really confused since they asked me to go to the immigrant area in the consulate for the interview, and then gave me a piece of paper saying "immigrant visa issuance notice". 

Besides, i checked all the websites in China and no one has ever seen the "application received" update doing any type of US visa. >_< but the posts online are from years ago, so probably it's a new update pattern in 2017?

Hi Eufi,

 

We have almost exactly the same updates!

 

I went to the interview on Apr 10th and was told approved. And CEAC no update for a month.... lately it's been changing from AP - AR - Ready - AP - AR (the last AR was updated today).

 

Geez, every time they respond to my email they say it's due to a high volume of applications and some sort of system delay. When I asked them when the system delay would be fixed, they said they didn't know for sure...

Hi All,

Seems I'm in a similar boat. Here's my timeline. I can understand them not wanting to answer tons of questions, but maybe if they just had even a modicum of information on what to expect on an easily navigated website (who the hell cares about the history of the guangzhou consulate??) they wouldn't have so many confused people looking for answers.

 

4/10 - Interview at Guangzhou consulate - quick interview, rejected on 221(g) because she was a party member - had to submit a letter detailing her involvement in the CCCP, we followed the advice here (http://www.candleforlove.com/FAQ/CCP_Essay.doc)

Our case status was updated on June 6th, saying that the case is opened and to check the status in 2 business days, but it hasn't changed. I was wondering if you could give me an idea of the timeline for how long it will take to process. Thanks!

So it changed today from "Application Received" to "AP"?

Hey guys! I'm on same page as this person...I just got  application received and then back to AP...is this a new 2017 thing? 

[rj1990 13]

Hey guys! My case also went into Application Received - here's the breakdown.

I had my interview yesterday morning, June 14th:

June 14th: CEAC status change from "Ready" to "Application Received" (2pm)

June 15th: CEAC status change from "Application Received" to "Administrative Processing" (~10:30am)

June 15th: CEAC status change from "Administrative Processing" to "Issued" (11am)

 

I've been refreshing every few minutes and couldn't BELIEVE how quickly it went to issued. Crying and freaking out. Fingers crossed for tracking info soon because I'm picking up in Montreal and just want it in my hands and for this part to be over! 

[Casey337 1]

Just an update.

Visa was issued on 15-June. One of the happiest moments in my life.  Though I should probably stay cautious until it has physically arrived.

[jack66819 10]

Hi guys,

 

We are also on the same boat with "Application Received" status in CEAC .

 

Although she just has her interview 6/19 where she was informed with preliminary approval ( we'll take it), but yesterday she received a phone call from the Guangzhou consulate saying that although she passed the interview, there is a possibility of delayed... 

 

Does anybody received similar phone call?

 

We are extremely worried....

[lara u. 66]

Hi! I have the same status. How long will it stay in application received? It also changed to nonimmigrant? Any update?
