They also show an 01 and an 02, case created 24-May-2024. Originally they gave me an estimate of 13 months start to finish, being stuck in limbo is frustrating, but expected.

 

 

Usually 01 and 02 would be if there is a derivative like a K2 child.  If that's not the case there could be other reasons.   As long as the date keeps updating it means that they are at least actively working on.  It could be seen as positive since usually it means progress.  Unfortunately there is no way to predict how long it will take but you probably aren't that far away.

Riza has a daughter but we haven't included her in the process as we want to get my fiance settled and the house ready for a toddler, once she gets her change of status after our wedding we'll start the K2 process to bring her daughter over. My family has given me grief for not only deciding to marry a Filipina, but more so doing things the way we are, Riza wants to secure herself here so that if problems arise we'll be able to handle it together rather than being on opposite sides of the world. I'll keep checking CEAC and hopefully soon we'll see "approved" or processed, at which point I will literally dance with happiness. I won't be complete until we get her daughter stateside though, Zara is my little princess and I would move mountains for her. I am all she knows for a papa.

That makes sense.  The 02 case probably means the embassy has accurately included the daughter as follow and join so she will be able to travel within a year of her mom without requiring a new petition.  It sounds like everything is going correctly and it is just the embassies infamous slowness and inconsistent timeframes.

Aahhh, we did have Zara on the petition so the government is aware she has a daughter. So essentially they've prepared for her coming over without us having to push it? Once both are here I will sleep well lol.

You should just have to file a new DS160 for the child if she will travel within a year of her mom.

I just checked CEAC and it shows the case was updated today but the infamous "ready" is still bold. They must be majorly behind at the embassy.

I have gone ahead and reached out to my congressman for help on getting answers since nobody at the embassy wants to answer the phones or inquiries. It shouldn't take this long to finish the process, someone isn't doing their job at the embassy. Hopefully my congressman can get to the bottom of the matter.
