CEAC Status Update Process Experience

[My Mistake 2]

Our interview was November 25, 2013 and the immigration officer basically said if we don't have a cosponsor we don't have visa. Even though I had sufficient current income, they only looked at the three years of income tax and only one was below the 125%. All the other documents was fine. The last four months I have been trying to obtain several different candidate sponsors that unfortunately have been disqualified due to either not enough income on one of the three years required, lack of bringing in all documentations required or quitting in the middle of our process. Unfortunately this has set me back by going through this whole process with each one of these individuals by months, just to give you an understanding of the difficulty I have incurred.

I finally found a more than qualified cosponsor who makes well over the financial quota and provided 3 years of income taxes, which included a current paycheck stubs, birth certificate, drivers license copy, and signed sponsor documents. I also did a new intent to marry notary just to be safe and put that in there as well.

We have everything in order and all the documents was sent out, received on 17 March 2014 by the Embassy.

Here is the CEAC website progress, note the change in "Immigrant Visa Application" verses "Nonimmigrant Visa Application" text. I noticed the change when it went from the old "Administrative Processing" to current "Ready." Also the Create Dates changed. It changed in four steps that I have listed below. I hope this information helps others on their journey and best of luck.
