Its just changed to issued!

Passport arrived at embassy on Tuesday, and status changed from refused to approved yesterday! Any idea how long it takes to get to issued? surely just a case of gluing in the visa and couriering back to me?

its updated now, so i'm off to the courier to drop off!!

I've had the email this morning asking me to send my passport in! get in! the website at ais.usvisa-info.com/en-gb/niv says send documents, but when i click on continue it just sends me round in circles and back to the start, instead of giving me the courier instructions to print off. Is this normal, and does it normally take a while for them to update it after sending the email?

any update to your case cm1251?

ok thanks. they gave me my passport back so I'll hopefully get an email asking to send it in for them to stick the visa in. just adds more time to the process sadly

Status on CEAC website is now showing case last updated 05-Sep-2024, (was previously showing 08-Jul-2024), so hopefully that means things are moving now? Or does it just mean that someone could have simply opened a file and closed it again?

Just an update on my position. I'm still in AP, after sending the required document in 15 days ago. Now pretty much resigned to the fact that I wont be going to the US on 24th September as planned. My daughter will now have to go with the wife instead! I need to rearrange travel plans, so was just wondering in the unlikely event that I do get approved in the next few days, how long would processing and delivery of stamped passport take, working back from 24th September. I'm guessing I should allow up to 5 working days for delivery and 10 working days for processing, so pretty much means unless I hear anything today, i'm screwed, and may as well change flight details this weekend. I understand no-one can predict processing times for AP, but would appreciate input on peoples experience of how long it takes after approval until received visa/passport back. Thanks

Ah right, ok thanks. (Tried to attach picture to last message but looks like it didn't work)

thanks - doesnt the CEAC normally change to show that though?

yeah, i know you have to disclose all arrests, cautions and convictions. Just concerned that the PNC record on the SAR doesnt exactly match what i disclosed. no i dont need a waiver, as convictions were very minor and not CIMTs.

B1/2 visa. Criminal record on SAR matched what i disclosed on VCU form with original application. Actually one conviction dropped off the SAR, so i disclosed more than necessary in the end.

hi all I had my interview in London for my third US visa, on 8 July. Received a s221 refusal letter, and request for additional info. They wanted the subject access report (which hadnt been required for the previous 2 visas) to back up my police certificate. Only received the SAR back from ACRO last Thursday so immediately emailed it off to the email address provided. the s221 letter states that after 2 days I can go back into the account and print off the delivery instructions to send my passport off. However, the account still says 'check DS160 status', and when i follow that link to the CEAC website it still says Refused, and case last updated 8 July. Has anyone else had experience of this, and how long its likely to take to update? I dont want to email them again, because I guess it would be pointless, and i dont want to pee them off. thanks
