Applicant Readiness Form (London)

[Rolly123 1]

Hi all

I submitted my readiness form about 2 weeks ago. I have had minimal confirmation about it. No emails saying they received it. Nothing. How do I know if they received it? My case status was updated today, but the information stayed the same. What way do they contact you to inform you of your interview date?

What would be the best way to contact them to inquire about these things? I'm just worried that I might have made a mistake on the form? Even though I checked it several times before submitting it.

Thanks

Hello

Congrats on making it this far. You will be receiving and e-mail and and I believe a regular post with the paperwork for your interview. My Wife had many issues trying to contact them. It can take up to 6 weeks to get the interview letter. Updates to your status on the CEAC site are good. That status is updated each time your case file is touched. It is a waiting game at this point. And remember we have holidays coming up which can slow things down. Good Luck.

Might also be worth looking on the United Kingdom forum to see how long others typically waited with the London Embassy

Thanks for your insight.

Did you get an initial email saying they received the readiness form? I would have loved a confirmation email just to put my mind at ease.

No we did not receive any communication that they received the readiness form. After she did the medical she got the interview letter. No other communication after the letter of readiness was sent in.

They don't confirm receipt. There is very little to the form so not much to make a critical mistake on. The status information will remain the same until days after the interview. Date changes can indicate somebody did something with your case. Guesses of what happened:

readiness form received

DS-160 received

Medical results received

Answered an email from you

Move a box of files to a new location

Moved your file to the "eligible for interview" pile

Sent out your interview letter

It's all speculation what the dates mean so don't get too caught up in the game and drive yourself nuts. Your medical has to be received before you are eligible for interview. When did they get that?

Thanks for your input, very helpful.

Well, my medical was on the 10th October. I think it takes up to 4 days for them to receive it. My DS-160 was completed on the 23rd October. If I had entered my case # wrong, it would not have processed the form would it?

Kind of an odd order. DS-160 is normally first because it's the actual application. You said you were ready to interview before you applied for a visa. They say allow 6 weeks but after two weeks from you last thing (23-Oct) would be soonest to even worry. So that is end of this week.

The readiness form is not an online type document like the other. I think it goes to the embassy more like an email. It is a London informational thing and not Dept of State official form. They can still match you up with your name and birthdate. If you want to inform them again, just fill it out and do it again. Use your LND case number.

I know how you feel...

We haven't heard back fromt he embassy either. Our dates are similar. (Besides the DS160)

Everyone else can get an interview date, why can't we?

Is there a reason the CEAC status would read 'No Status'

Is there a reason the CEAC status would read 'No Status'

If you chose Non-immigrant ??

Or didn't put in the letters LND before your number ??

[Maria and Mike 5]

Yes thanks. I didn't realise it already changed to immigrant at this stage. Status at 'Ready' , awaiting interview date
