Having the same issue with the embassy in The Bahamas. It's been "Ready" on the CEAC site since February 22 and the next step on the embassy page is to pay the fee, but it won't let my fiance do so and just says there are no interview appointments available. He's both called and emailed and has just been told to keep checking that page. This is probably the most frustrating part of the whole process thus far because there's no specific timeline, and it's the final step before approval.

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

Hi I am a K1 applicant and my case has been marked ready on CEAC website since January 20th 2023 and I have not heard anything from the Colombo embassy. I was wondering if there are other people experiencing delays with the Colombo Sri Lanka consulate. Also if anyone have upcoming interviews. Thanks!

I’m from Sri Lanka . Waiting for my IR1 visa interview! Do u know the appointment wait times for that?
