Salaam and peace, ya'll! BOTH of their visas were issued as of today! We are anticipating them being ready for pick-up by early next week. There is a possibility they could come here before Thanksgiving even or directly after; I don't think they should travel during the Thanksgiving weekend due to the volume of traffic.

So happy! Our CEAC timeline:

Nov. 1st interview, CO gave temp rejection while they adjudicated my foreign divorce

Nov. 7th created our account in CEAC, switched to "Ready"

Nov. 8th Called fiance to tell him to bring in passports for visa issuance

Nov. 12th Dropped off passports at embassy in Kingston, no paper or confirmation given

Nov. 12th his son's status was updated, kept at "Ready" but fiance's was not

Nov. 20th both put into AP... getting close!!!

Nov. 20th fiance now updated to "Issued" but son kept at "AP"

Nov. 21st his son is now updated to "Issued" as well

Allahu akbar! Thanks to everyone who has helped us with moral support and advice, wish I had joined this site sooner!

Thanks for all the well-wishes! We are very excited! I'm glad my CEAC timeline was a little helpful but I wish we could actually update our timeline on VJ with it. This is a frustrating journey at times and the more knowledge we have, the more power. :)

Monique, I read ya'lls timeline and I saw where you are in your journey. A couple of words of advice (which you probably know!) DON'T buy a ticket until the visa is in your hand! So many little things can go wrong; it's not the end of the world but it can make you miss a flight. :) If money is an issue then wait before making wedding plans, buying a ticket, etc.

Also, I never heard from the Kingston embassy and I emailed them at kingstonivappointment@state.gov That is how I got my appointment set adn we finally got our packet 3. Just be really proactive; I waited TWO months and didn't realize the embassy had our papers that entire time! Nothing happened until I emailed so I think we had slipped through the cracks.

Of course now with the online DS-260 I think the process is more streamlined but it's still confusing and hard to follow at times. :)
