Many in here have had the same happen to them, myself included. You get verbal approval, and what was supposed to be a week, turns into months of  waiting. But that's okay, because all in all, it's just a delay. 

Hoping for the best. May any miracle happens and all of us get through this tough time soon

@SabrinaJerome were you given a 221g sheet? And,  did they keep your passport? 

Yes my husband was given a 221g only. And the agent wrote on it to send social media and email addresses. 

They did not keep his passport, unfortunately.

Hi I am on the same boat, they did not take the passport. But I just wanted to ask how many status updated did u see on the CEAC website for your case? I got 2 so far and my interview date was 11 January 2018. Still waiting it shows admin processing

 

When I call NVC they say admin processing in this case means it is with the embassy and not with NVC and they cannot give us an update

Yes, your case would not be sent back to NVC unless they were denying you (that’s the good part of this dreadful experience). As long as your case is still with the embassy, you are good and will here something soon

I made a call to the Embassy yesterday and was told that they are waiting to get the administrative processing (ds-5535) finished from Washington. I asked if there was anything I could do as far as sending a letter to DOS or to my state officials and they said no, they were working to get everything finished and as soon as they do, they’ll contact my fiancé to tell him the next steps. 

 

I’m praying we here something soon!!!!

Good luck to you. Can you tell me the contact number of the consulate in USA. I will ask my Mom living in USA to call there and take some information as she is really worried and has no way out to get relaxed on this matter.

Hi! I called the embassy where my fiancé’s interview was taken place in his country. You can call your embassy because that’s who has your application. The ds-5535 information is the only thing the US has so they can do the processing (checks). 

 

Thank you...I hope there’s good news for everyone soon

Hello everyone,

does anyone know if they issue any visa at all or not until summer? I read in another group they won’t until final decision in Summer?

 Thanks

Do you have a source? I don't think that that's how it works. Someone just got their visa a couple of weeks ago.

How often do people see updates on their AP status?  Interview Feb 5, with updates on Feb 12, 15 and 16.

After we submitted the DS5535, we saw 3 updates on 3 consecutive working days and nothing since then. It has been about a week and no further update.

Guys is it good when the case creation date changes and visa type goes from immigrant to non-immigrant?
