Finally, my status changed from AP to issued. Underneath it says call the embassy if i have not received the visa in more than 10 days from the day of the interview. My interview was on May 22, 2018 and today is the 13th working day. Should I call or not?

Why would you call if your visa is issued. It's on the way. This portion of the processing is over. Nothing but blue sky's and calm waters ahead.

Thanks! But I'm still in the waiting game and this anxiety will only stop once visa is on hand. 

Have you gotten your 221(g) in your email yet?

Not yet. Been checking my email and my fiances email every now and then and ceac status too. No email and status is still ready.... Should i worry? Will there ever be a possibility for refusal?

 

Thanks for asking.

Hey hey to everyone. Yesterday we had our interview and have been approved!

CO was just AMAZING WOMAN! Questions? I would say not at all. Without saying hi to beneficiary she started to say that she is so happy to see petitioner,and that it shows that it is really mean something for couple. She was so excited to see us, so even forgot to ask if we swear to say truth and only truth questions was just simple, cause she was interested in it. She asked us how did we meet

 

……..

Congratulations. Don't be alarmed if you receive a 221(g) in your email because that is "standard operating procedure" for a "delayed" visa approval as the medical must be completed to satisfy the visa issuance. So once they receive the medical results then they will complete the process of issuing you your visa. Just a little more patience as this may take another 2 weeks but no one can say for sure.

You should have received the 221(g) email by now if they were to send one. So, keep your fingers crossed as you are not yet out of the "woods". It's my belief that they are working through everything to complete the visa. So keep watching CEAC as I believe you will start to see some movement. Just stay mildly worry.

I just noticed that I didn't get all my originals back after my interview at the US embassy yesterday in Germany. Do you guys think I can ask for them?  Or are they now lost FOREVER  

They're pretty much gone. Unfortunately you should get another set with copies because you'll need for other "processes" further ahead after arriving in the US.

Ohhh thanks @Greenbaum... My mind will only be at ease once I get our visa... 🙏🙏🙏

Hey guys, just a warning I'm here to RANT!!!! 

I'm waiting to be assigned an interview date by my embassy and since I hadn't heard from them in a week I emailed this morning hoping to nudge them on. They called me back to tell me it's an extremely busy time of year and I won't be assigned an interview date until mid-June and to expect to get a date of end of July or August!! I'm very lucky I have my Fiancé visiting in early July to look forward to (originally thinking I might fly back with him) but I'm beyond frustrated, I cannot believe this process looks like it's going to reach the 1 year mark until I finally can make my POE. Sorry for the negativity, I'm so bummed!!

@Greenbaum  I'd like to ask, my case status starts to show AP today but also today they updated the date when case was created. Is it ordinary situation that when case moves to AP the date of when case was created also changes ?

So it says non-immigrant? If so that’s awesome  that’s just normal AP Which will hopefully change to issued soon.

 

oh and yes it is normal. Now your case is created as non-immigrant and going through the system to get issued.

Rant please!! Are they kidding?? It seems like all embassies get really busy during these months... maybe summer vacations affecting  I really hope they can give you at least an earlyJuly date!
