Recent interviewees - do you have your passport yet??

[topoftherock2013 23]

Quick question, how were you all given your tracking numbers? I have nothing!

FYI, I opted for pick up at my nearest depot.

Thank in advance.

9 hours goodness! Well what was the verdict?? And on a scale of 1-10 just how tired are you??

Oh wait you are probably still sleeping

Actually I was just getting to sleep not long before you posted this

The verdict is (not unexpectedly of course) APPROVED!!! She said it went amazingly smooth. She arrived around 7:15 and said there was only a few people milling around sort of queued and then went in about 20 minutes later and was done, out of the embassy and messaging me by 9:08. Of course with the news, I was to amped up to sleep. I tried, but it took me a few hours. I got about 4 hours sleep though, and funnily enough, I'm still so excited that I'm not really that tired. I am sure I'll sleep MUCH better tonight.

Now for the fun process of waiting for that visa delivery.

No visa yet guys the embassy calle my fiancé on Thursday and told him he would have it yesterday. However it STILL says we are in administrative processing. It has been updating every day for the past few days, but I'm wondering why they would call my fiancé and tell him it was done if it isn't? Quick question...and I know this is a longshot but I am desperate. Do you think the embassy would give my fiancé's passport back to him while they are processing things? We really don't want to cancel the wedding and would even be ok to just have a non legal commitment ceremony instead of canceling, we just want him over here for it. Anyone ever heard of anything like this happening?

Just looked again an the case creation date turned to today, but still in administrative processing? It's it usual for the case creation date to change right before its issued?

Well, I see that line, and her visa is right there on the other side of it. I'll feel better when she gets through customs/immigration

I do hope that now that summer is winding down, hopefully London is getting caught up and they can start getting a little quicker at getting the back log through the process.

BTW, best of luck to you guys. Only a matter of days now if I remember correctly

Yes next tuesday! Thank u!

I know what u mean it's not over till she's out of the way of immigration! On that note; do we queue in a different line to get through immigration or is it the same line?

What she told me was that she showed up at about 7:15 and there weren't too many people there. A little past 7:30, someone came out and checked paperwork and made sure everyone was queued in the proper place(s). She was in the first small group going into the building and was the lucky recipient of I901 which made her the first interview of the day. There were other types of visas that went in with her. She noted that someone she said had a "Z" number and they had asked if anyone was trying to get their visa for travel plans on short notice and that person with the Z number had said they had planed to leave Thursday (this was on Tuesday). The lady checking the queue informed them that the chances of them getting a visa were next to none since it takes at least 3 days to process. I have no idea whatever became of that person, because she was out of there before anyone else, but I'm thinking they didn't get their visa. Don't know if the information helps, but that's what she told me.

Do you mean for entry to the US? At most airports you will continue to use the visitor line because you aren't a USC or permanent resident. Most take you from the immigration desk to a secondary room to process the papers so the general queue can keep moving. Look up your airport in the POE reviews (menu bar above) and you'll find descriptions.

Ilovemypants- did you ever get your visa??

[topoftherock2013 23]

Hi all, picked up my visa this morning!

It was 'issued' on CEAC 16th sept and was ready for pick up today onwards.

Today is going to be a good day, I never thought I would be so happy to see my passport!

Yeah I did mean for entry into the US lol sorry should have made that clearer! Okay that makes sense!

Hey dose anyone know the average time from ceac updating my status to issued will I be able to pick up my visa? I live in London so it doesn't have to travel very far for me I don't know if that's a big factor in the timing of receiving it.

Thanks

Hey everybody, so I know I mentioned yesterday our case creation date changed to yesterday, and now I've noticed our visa changed to a nonimmigrant one on CEAC however we are still in administrative processing? Is this a good sign?
