Passport Tracking after approval

[Daveykins 17]

My fiancee's passport did the same thing. It was stuck on AP on the CEAC tracking until after the interview, then changed to "ready" for a couple of days and then back to AP for a few more days and then finally changed to issued.

The traveldocs site never really changed, it was on status unavailable for weeks after the interview, but when I called the number it'd always say still with post. It changed to "processing for delivery" or something like that for weeks, and then it changed to "ready for pickup" a day after she picked it up and then finally "passport picked up" like 2 days after that, lol. It's a huge mess...

when you see that status, the visa packet is at the CITIC BANK LOCATION you selected for drop off. Go in, see what's what, nowish, aye? At least, when it's open.

The email tracking thing just randomly stopped working about a week after the interview. Never worked again for us, lol.

well, one less thing for me, I think so - I know visa packet generation takes some time, as there is a queue and it's always done after interview/issued date.

[Darnell 8,478]

ah, the chinese version

护照已从领事馆那边收回,目前正在安排​​运送

Passport recovered from the consulate there, now arrange for the delivery [google xlate]

I really hope this means the visa packet was generated/compiled and it's moved to the mailroom

update -

Called the usa cgi/stanley helpdesk #, got Gait in the call center , and she tells me there was an origination scan done on Friday, 11 OCT 2013, at 2:40 PM local Guangzhou Time and the visa packet is with the courier.

SCORE !

I really wish these 'data systems' were synched up, even 2 hours apart on updates would be 'fine' with me.

email status - no info still. blert.

Guangzhou Interview date: 10/09/13 (Approved!!)

CEAC Website: Case created: 10/10/13

Case updated: 10/11/13

Passport# xxxxxxxxx: Issued

Traveldocs website: "Passport is still with post"

[Darnell 8,478]

duh - monday is a holiday for GUZ IV, so cgi/stanley help desk #'s in China are not slinging to a human. So much for taking advantage of the 13 hour timezone thingie

[Darnell 8,478]

OK a bit of update (checking just now)

ustraveldocs, in chinese - 你的护照可随时领取 - [googgle xlate Ready to receive your passport]

ustraveldocs, in English - Your passport is ready for pickup.

I talked with my wife overnight, suggesting that she should go in monday and tuesday, have a look.

I understand 'Ready for Pickup' means it's at the CITIC Bank office, she can pick up there now.

More info later...

Congrats!!! That is quick from the time it shipped our from Guangzhou to Wuhan.

[Darnell 8,478]

ya, it was picked up friday. I've a feeling that the Bank Courier fellas really never close, working 7 days a week, irrespective of USA holidays. Still, we're at the end, finally. I'm not relaxing until she has it in her hands.

[noahsmama 6]

I feel ya!!! You can search for plane ticket now...I think it is about 1200 usd for one way trip from Beijing.

[Darnell 8,478]

ya, i'm seeing ranges from 790 to 1190, depending on the day of the week and the carrier.

[Darnell 8,478]
