I had my interview on 3 July 2017 and when I went home and check my visa status at CEAC, it was listed as ISSUED.   According to CEAC, the case was updated again on 7 July 2017.  I'm not sure what was updated.  

 

I checked ustraveldocs today as well as used my uid number on 2go etrace site, my visa packet is in transit.  Im in QC.  So far, no delivery received yet.  

We have the same Issued date, and just now i checked on my passport in ustraveldocs It is said that, my "Passport has been received from the consular section, and is currently being processed for delivery"...

 

finally there is updated na. hope we can recieved our visa packet this week.

This is a game of who has the most patience. Obviously, USEM doesn't need patience it's the beneficiary that requires all the patience.

 

Keep in mind that you must secure an appointment for CFO and sometimes they are running 2-4 weeks out. I'd schedule now in hopes that you still get the visa and CFO by the time your flight is scheduled to leave. Just my 2 centavos worth of info.

Yey, got a message from 2go it's for delivery today. It's weird though because upon checking on ustraveldocs & 2go e-trace its says, no updates yet/invalid passport #,uid,case#. I tried calling 2go customer service, she search for my name she said that its already In-Transit with a different tracking # used.  

 

All i have to do now is my CFO seminar, already called CFO-Cebu and they gave me a slot for next week, lucky me because there online appointment  has a server error so they accept arrangements by phone and as the officer told me normally a month ago the slot for next week is booked if using the online appointment.

Once the visa package leave the embassy you will no longer get updates from ustraveldocs.  Only tracking will be thru 2GO and that is spotty at best.

 

Glad you will have your visa today.

Looks like things are going to be moving pretty fast now that the visa has been issued. Good luck and safe travels.

got my visa packet the other day.  received a sms message that it will be delivered that day and it was delivered.  Now, I'm planning to schedule my CFO then book my tkts.  I won't be flying till September anyway.  July and August tickets are expensive.  Also, I'm still recovering from an ankle surgery.

When you book your flight request wheelchair assistance... lots of walking at these large airports

Thanks for the advice Hank.  I'm hoping to be able to walk unaided by that time but being on wheelchair with the express service is fun.  Hehehe..

Yes, with or without visa you can have an appointment with them, only that you have to return to them for the sticker if you no visa yet. See link below...

Great thanks, at least I know my fiance can get that part done before waiting for the docs to arrive and purchasing flight tickets. Its my understanding that this is available at Clark also (unless Im getting that confused with another program)

Yes you can complete CFO before receiving your visa. You'll need to visit any of the three locations including Clark and you get the sticker placed at the airport.

Yes for K-1 and IR/CR-1 that do GCP ... which is you.  You can complete the seminar before you get your visa, then after you visa is in hand you go back to get the sticker in your passport.
