Oct. 14 - Ready

Oct. 15 - Ready

Oct. 16 - Ready

I am a member of a k1 visa group in Facebook too.

Those who were interviewed by Oct. 13 has their visa on the way to their address.

Others have received it much earlier.

Its frustrating. I was left behind. :(

Congratulations on your approval. Please can you share the process by answering the following questions for us ?

1. How did you get notification to pick up packets 3&4, and who received it?

2. From the date the embassy received your application to the date you received call-in-letter, how long many days elapsed.

Thank you in advance.

No exact time frame for that. It depends on the case, the processor and the process itself. We started last June

Im still waiting for my visa. We didnt receive any packet. we just monitored our case online.

1st off NO ONE is actually APPROVED at the interview... actual approval is not until you see ISSUED on the CEAC website. Until that moment in time your visa can still be denied.

After ISSUED comes printing of the visa in your passport and packaging of your case file, once that is complete (most times a couple days, not counting weekends) it will be ready for pickup by 2GO.

Visa chase and citizenship.. DONE!

Does it safe to assume I dont have to worry anymore since i have ISSUED status already?

Or it can still be lost in the process?

I dont have my visa yet. But others who get interviewed same date with me have their Visas on hand already.

ISSUED is the gold ring you were waiting for.... all you wait for now is delivery. :thumbs::)

No two visas are processed the same... never gauge your visa process by another's

Visa chase and citizenship.. DONE!
