It seems we'll be "Issued" status very soon, but there's a problem that may not be a problem at all, but could be terrible. The visa status tracker website (https://ceac.state.gov/ceacstattracker/status.aspx) shows my fiance's case number has two statuses! "01" and "02". What's up with that? She has no one coming with her, just herself, but two statuses exist. The first one "01", went "Ready" the other night and then went A.P., NONIMMIGRANT VISA. Based on the experience of other applicants on VJ and QQ groups, the next step is "Issued" in about 2 or 3 business days. That's great news but I worry about the existence of the second status that still says the same thing since both statuses were created on May 15th, Before the other night, both statuses said A.P., IMMIGRANT VISA. Now one status seems to indicate the visa will be "Issued" very soon, but the other is still showing A.P., dead waiting status. I'm hoping this was just a clerical error and that I should ignore the second status. Should I be concerned about this?

Thanks for your knowledgeable help!

I think was data error by a human at GUZ IV.

OR the data point mapping between CEAC and some other internal system is mapped incorrectly.

For clarity (sorry) please to contact DoS Hotline and ask for status when they are open. Sure, I know it's infuriating, but they have actual status. When I talk about CEAC with DoS TeleOperators - most of the older staff tell me they loathe that system, as they get lots of phone calls about erroneous status.

-----

of course, if /when it makes it out of GUZ IV, the ustraveldocs website will have more info about passport delivery.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

Thanks. How many applicants are associated with your case? Just your fiance? Or does she have a child coming to?

I am the beneficiary. I have two kids one is already a American citizen born so does not require a visa. The other one will be staying here in London to go university. So only me thats what I didn't understand about the two status. It's Labor Day tomorrow so I guess you could call them on Tuesday to find out what it means.

Ah. My fiance also has a child. A son who just turned 18. When we originally filed the I-129f last October, there was a small possibility he might "follow" her to America at a later date, so I think we indicated this on that form back then. They called her around May 15th to ask her for clarification on whether he was actually going to follow or not. She told them her son had changed his mind, because he now had a girlfriend that he would never leave behind. Both our statuses were originally created on May 15th, so I'm thinking that is why they created a second status. It's the only thing that makes sense. Is it possible you also indicated a similar possibility of your child "follow"ing you to America? If so, that further indicates my explanation could be right.

yes you are right. I too indicated my daughter would come. However she has now got a place in uni to do chemical engineering so will not be taking up a K2 visa again. I was planning to file for her once I got my permanent green card in a few years. Is that how you guys were going to do things too. I am looking at the age thing cos once they reach 21 they are no longer considered children.

Well, it looks like we figured out why we both have two statuses! Now I can stop worrying about that second status hindering the first one from going "Issued" in a couple of days. Regarding her son, I seriously doubt he will change his mind and say he wants to come to America before he reaches 21. Yes, then it will be too late for him to come. Good luck with your "visa journey"! Keep reading posts on VJ. Most of the good info I get is from here. I plan to post a lot of details soon that will help everyone who are about to go to their interview. :)
