Did anyone get an appointment or an update to CEAC?

I asked my wife if she heard anyone in the facebook group getting expedited since the June 26 batch, she said she has not.  Good luck, there is reason to believe that it won't be a 6 month queue, like the last batch.

Status update:

I just logged on to CEAC and saw the status changed to "Issued" today.  Woohoo!  We are very excited.

Congratulations

 

Do they do final processing on 221(g)s based on interview date?

Thanks. 🙂

 

I couldn't say what order might be used.  Order doesn't seem to have much to do with it.

 

At every stage, I've seen a portion of folks who filed later get approved sooner, and a portion of folks who filed sooner and get approved later.  Not as a rule, but certainly a non-negligible amount.

 

Maybe luck has a hand in it all.

Yeah, I'm just trying to understand what exactly goes on back there. We had "Ready" updates on 7/26, 7/31, and 8/1. Getting anxious.

I contacted the USEM about IR/CR cases from June/July.  Their answer was the cases are still at NVC...contact them.

I'm keeping a close watch on those who didn't make the last cut off since I'm also included in the FB grp of those DQed from May 26 onwards. Still no update, unfortunately.

There are a few who expedited due to medical reasons and got processed. I'm really becoming more hopeful that it won't take another 5 months for them to do a new batch since they're not as strict with expedites as before.

We first opened our account at Rapidvisa almost two and a half years ago... and it got issued today! Hooray!

Following this thread as well. We’re DQ’d on Aug 4, 10days after uploading everything in CEAC. 😊

Yes, we received it on Aug 4.  How about you?

 

We were also able to get her CFO moved up.  That is next week.

 

After we confirmed the CFO schedule, I bought plane tickets back to the US in September.

No, we haven't received it yet. They issued it at close of business friday so I wasn't expecting anything today. I saw we had an update today on CEAC. Maybe LBC will send us a tracking number tomorrow.

 

Good to know they're mailing them fast. Thanks!

We're in Laguna, near Los Baños.  Two days for us.. maybe a little longer if you're in one of the further provinces.  

 

Have ₱440 ready, and she'll need her postal or unified ID.

 

Side story, when FedEx delivered the documents, it was "signature required" but they never ID'd me.  My skin color was all the identification they needed. 🤣  You know how it is, here.

 

I wanted to see if LBC would do the same, but no, they followed the protocol. 👍

 

Edit: My wife just mentioned this:

"it's ok if they don't have a postal id or unified id. They accept any other gov't id as long it's current / updated."

We're in Angeles Pampanga so it's not far at all so we're just waiting for a tracking number (in text or email?)
