CEAC showing AP (what next)

[Tristan1978 133]

Guys, can anyone please tell me how the Visa Status will change on CEAC it’s currently showing “Administrative Processing” as I got a 221g at the London Embassy on Tuesday but yesterday I submitted the requested documents. Does anyone know what CEAC visa check will show when it’s been accepted etc ?

Once they received your documents, they will start working on your case. Meanwhile it will stay as AP. It might take few days to few months to change your status. No one can tell about it.

In London it can stay at AP until it changes to Issued. Or it can go back to Ready, then AP again, then Issued. There is no status specific for "We got your documents". It's mainly a matter of when the officer gets back to your case. He may not do it the second your upload hits CEAC or even the same day. It could be a few days to get back to his incomplete interviews.  Then a day or two more after he passes the file on to the visa printing people. Once printed, status will say  Issued. Then maybe allow two days to be passed off to the courier who packages it according your delivery arrangements with them and sends out the email giving a delivery day which is usually the next day. I know you don't want to hear the old "it varies" but  once you get out of the flow because of having to send additional things, it is mostly dependent on your guy going back to his incomplete list and moving them on. And factor in that the embassy is closed for a US federal holiday on Monday.

Thanks for your help buddy, I just got an email saying that they have completed the review and will get my visa within 10 working days.
