Post Interview CEAC No Status

[Nostromo 0]

My fiancé’s interview went well in early July. The CO said his K1 visa was approved however they wanted a specific statement (beyond court ordered sole custody) from his ex wife giving permission for him to immigrate with their son to the US. He went back to court, she signed the statement and it was submitted to the embassy. Five days later the embassy called saying the statement was not included. My fiancé directed them to the first line of the second paragraph of the document and the clerk said “oh okay, I didn’t see that”. She then asked for the phone number and wished to call the ex wife.   This was a week ago and CEAC says “no status” when checking the DS-160 file number and “ready for interview” if checking the BRT case number. Any idea what’s going on?

By the way, the last date updated on the status was the date the interview was scheduled.

Yes. And it says “ready to schedule appointment”. We emailed the embassy but only reply with form letter saying “we don’t give updates by email. Please refer to website”.

The embassy sent back the passports and the court documents without instructions. A clerk there also called my fiancé’s ex-wife to discuss his case.  I thought  cases were supposed to be confidential?  We have emailed the embassy for instructions but only received form emails back.

Where children are concerned , it is essential for the CO to be 100% certain that the non immigrating parent has given permission for their child to immigrate ..this is not a breaking of confidentiality..  you can’t rush their deliberations .. it is an crucial safeguard..
