One week after approval...

[db2016 100]

Hi all,

 

My husband's CR1 application was approved one week ago and it still says "READY". I am getting nervous that the visa not been issued yet, since i saw the last 5 to 6 cases out of Cairo got their visa after 2 working days. Is there a possibility we are or going to be on AP?

It can take two weeks. Don’t worry!

Follow up question, is it normal for CEAC status to still say READY 11 days after the interview and after being approved verbally at the embassy? we still havent received the visa/passport.

No its not normal.

Contact the embassy.

It might be a mistake from their end.

I sent an email today, so what is the status supposed to say while waiting for the visa to be issued?

It should move to Administrative Processing and then Issued when the visa is granted.

if you were approved, and it went to AP this is normal all goes to AP at some point however if it was approved with no complication CEAC will go after interview to AP, and the next day to Ready, next day AP, next day Issued.

Help!!! Our CEAC status still

says “ready” over two weeks after my husband’s interview. I emailed them twice. Has this happened anyone else??? I saw someone else here interviewed the same day as my husband and got their visa 5 days later. Why is this happening 😭

Did you end up receiving the visa and passport? I’m curious because I’m post interview as well with ceac status still showing ready.

So you’ve already had your visa interview and been told it’s approved but nothing was returned to you via aramex until now? Omg that’s more than a month! Have you tried calling or emailing them?

Yes we had the interview and were approved. I emailed them twice and both times got the same response that the case was with the officer and they will let us know their decision after he completes his review.

Oh wow that’s so long I’m sorry you’re going through that. I’m anxiously waiting for our passports return and this Wednesday will be 2 weeks exactly and I’m panicking because it seems there still is potential to be sucked into the black hole of not knowing anything. I emailed them as well regarding why my case status still says ready and they sent me this strange form that I should fill out with my fiancé’s name and info but it seemed off and I wonder if they just sent a generic reply rather than look at my actual case. Have you tried calling it might be better to get someone on the phone

they do not answer any case information over the phone. plus there is no direct way of calling IV, just email.
