So I sent my P3 last evening and my CEAC "Ready" status date just changed from April 1 to April 4! Hoping that means they got it and will send the P4 soon 😱

Same.

we sent off around 3 something yesterday, status changed to second ready this morning eaely. No p4 yet tho

Hopefully it's what we hope it is, or at the very least that it's the regular second ready we were supposed to get and that they won't mind that we submitted the day beforehand 😅They're open for a few more hours so there's still a chance we might get something today, or maybe tomorrow

Seems 11am and 2pm are the two magic hours of the day for this stuff. It’ll probably be morning but I’ll remain hopeful for today as well! Good luck!!! 

Thank you! Good luck to you too! I will keep my fingers crossed for the both of us

I sent P3 docs yesterday and got confirmation email around 4:15 pm.  CEAC changed to Apr 4 today.  I got an email from Consulate at 12:08 pm today advising they were processing application etc. And then said “in the meantime do not send P3 documents until Visa Unit tells you to do so and you are not eligible at this time to schedule an appt until you receive further instructions.    On CEAC it also says you can now schedule interview (which I have NOT done yet).   All so misleading.

Your CEAC date changed to April 4 because they emailed you today.  Next time it changes try sending P3 again.  That CEAC message about being ready to schedule interview is NOT intended for K-1s.  You're right.  It's very misleading.  FYI: if you schedule your interview before receiving P4 they will cancel it.

Not sure what to do since I already got confirmation email confirming receipt of P3 docs including attachment I have to take to interview.  Guess I’ll just have to wait and see what happens over next couple of days.

By "confirming receipt of P3 docs" do you mean you got the generic email they send for every email inquiry?  (NOT an acceptance of P3) Or the one specifying your documents have been forwarded to the correct unit?

The email that reads "do not send P3 documents" is the one they send when P3 is rejected.

[Lori Johnson 35]

This is the email with personal info deleted.  There was additional stuff at the bottom on how to print etc which I didn’t include.  Basically the instructions they refer to at the bottom are to print that confirmation sheet and take it to the interview.

You would first get an email from correspondence unit saying they forwarded your message to the visa unit..is that what you mean?
