I hope it helps!

Thank you!

I'm gonna suggest those of us with cancelled interviews start checking our case on the ceac tracker, especially those who had their interviews cancelled earlier in March. I'm curious if the "Case Last Updated" date will change after they "review" our cases. Might help track progress if they do update, because they're going to start rescheduling after they apparently "review" them. Right now mine still says last updated March 12.

Did you contact the consulate around then? If not, then they reviewed your file without being prompted to by you, which would be a sign that they're working on it. Curious that it was before the 28th when they were apparently authorized to start K1s again. Mine was originally scheduled for April 1 and hasn't updated yet.

I contacted them on the 24th about medicals. Got a response on 26th, a scripted one. Then responded and got another one today 31st that was not a scripted one. So possibly they took a look at my file then.

Ah, that probably explains it. They've rescheduled a lot of CR/IR interviews through September, hopefully they'll squeeze Ks somewhere. By October at the latest would be wonderful, though having to redo the medical definitely sucks.

Now it says "Issued" and it looks like it take about 5 days for shipping.

 

I didn't think they would be working this fast! I'm flying over the moon right now.

 

I hope the happy news travels to alot of people soon!

Wow! Congratulations! Dancing for you and having high hopes for the rest of us.

Congratulations. Check your visa for any spelling errors and if you have any recontact the embassy for instructions. Be sure to pack the "do not open" packet in your carryon luggage. You will not enter the US if your packet is lost in your luggage. The paper envelope may appear to be torn and that is normal so disregard. Slit the underside of your passport to retrieve and leave the "do not open" envelope intact with the plastic covering for protection. Safe travels and I wish you much happiness in your new marriage.

March 17. There's not a lot of time left for them to interview and issue the visa and move in with 7 months on that.
