Hi does anyone know where I can find my alien number for k-1 visa?

Hi everyone, apologies for posting this a couple days late. I’ve caught the flu since weathers changing. I’m pleased to say I have gotten my k-1 visa issued and entered the states! here is my brief timeline, in hopes it can help you and ease your mind the way previous posts have eased mine. Here is the following updates after receiving the email to submit new documents. November 8th: ( done new medical + sent passport and new photos via Canada post) November 12: documents delivered November 20th: medical was delivered November 21st ( unsolicited update) November 25th (unsolicited update) December 3rd ( case changed from refused to “Application Received”) December 11th ( contacted congressman and also sent an email from my end) December 12th ( Case changed from “Application Received” to “ Approved”) December 13th ( Case changed to Issued!!) December 16 ( received email stating that my documents were available for pickup via BLS location, I picked up the passport the same day) December 17th ( flew into USA and activated my visa) * some notes* when passing through customs, I did get pulled into secondary, when you receive your documents back there will be a sealed envelope that you are not allowed to open, the USA officer needs to open it at secondary customs, your passport is on the outside of it for travelling purposes. Allow yourself some time to go through secondary because sometimes there’s a lineup. Also if you notice your case is not moving contact your congressman, I’m not sure if that worked for us but the next day my case moved, it’s worth a try. I wish you guys all the best and hope all of you see good news soon.

I think it takes additional time for the embassy to actually receive your documents as our mail goes to an offsite mailing address. I sent mine on Nov 8th and didn’t receive a case update until Nov the 21st. I haven’t heard of them forgiving medicals, you’ll most likely receive an email requesting a second medical. Hope this helped!

They won’t let you in

What is your visa category?

Sure I will

My passport delivered on the Nov 12th and medical on the Nov 20th and I’m still waiting also 😭

I would send new passport photos just to be sure

I see application received when I put in my case number in the ceac

Hi everyone, my status has been stuck on “application received” anyone have experience with getting it to move to approved?

I hope so!! And I hope you also get issued soon 🌹

Has anyone’s ceac changed from refused to “application received”? Does anyone know more information on this?

Yes that should be fine, I just recently changed my delivery to the BLS location from the Canada post

Congratulations!! How many unsolicited updates before your issued status?

Just an update for the people who have chosen Canada Post location to pick up their documents. Since many of us are unable to change it online, Canada.Visas@gdit-gss.com This is the email address I used to contact them for help, to switch my delivery option!!

OMG I am soooooooo happy for you, I always wished you got issued because you waited so long. Finally!!🥳🥳 hopefully we all get issued soon aswell!! Congrats a million

It is varying for everyone, some are getting issued in a week, some in 2 weeks, some a month or more.

this is the email: montreal-IV-DV@state.gov However you will get an automated reply before an officer actually replies to you which in my experience takes around 2 weeks. It’s important to note you’ll also see an update on your case!! Hope that helps Is this on their website?

But there’s no option to switch it there

I just checked and I don’t see the option 😭 this is really frustrating. Thank you so much although

I haven’t gotten issued yet. I’m still waiting, please keep me updated. Thank you!

For those of you who chose a Canada post location for the return of your documents and were able to get a hold of a representative so that you could change it or upgrade to home delivery due to the strike. What steps did you guys do, I’ve been going in circles for an hour and I can’t seem to figure out how to get a hold of someone who can fix it. Any help would be appreciated.

Which number do I call?

I also chose a Canada post location wondering the same thing!!

Congratulations what was your timeline??
