This is excellent. London embassy is better than Brussels embassy indeed. They kept my passport from 6th September no update nothing. I sent email two times and even they did not answer. I dont know what to do.

That's frustrating. I'm sure they will issue it soon thought as they're now available. I didn't get an email when it was issued, I just checked CEAC

That's nothing to do with the consulate though, that's because there were no visas available until yesterday. I'd have had the same thing if I'd had my interview at the end of the Fiscal Year when the quota had filled.

I completely understand but they should inform why they hold our passport so long.

It was announced on 27th August - https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/News/visas-news/annual-limit-reahed-in-the-eb-1-category.html

 

What does CEAC say? Hopefully your status updates to issued soon if it hasn't already, good luck.

I know they announced on 27th August but officer did not say anything or may be she was not aware about this announcement. Anyway, My status is showing "Ready"

The point is even the they are not answering on email.

The officer probably assumed you knew. Keep an eye on that status, fingers crossed it changes very soon!

Congrats! And no problem at all, it was only last year that I was in the same boat and I remember it well. We got our passports back within 4 days (interview Monday afternoon, passports arrived Thursday morning) so hopefully it's as quick for you.

 

Best of luck for the move.

Thanks @appleblossom, re delivery did you receive any messages/delivery status notifications from the courier company DX deliveries? Is there a way to track the delivery online? Cheers.

Yes, we got texts and the tracking number is also put on CEAC (although we'd already had the text with it by that point).

I haven’t had any communication on delivery yet.

If it's only turned to 'issued' today then that just means it's been printed and in the passport. It then sits waiting for pick up - ours wasn't picked up the same day it was issued, it was the next day (I guess they have a cut off). Once it's been collected by DX and it's on its way you'll get the info.
