Ceac status creation date changed then went to nonimmigrant then to AP

[MA & SY 34]

Hello visajoureny mates,

We need your experience to share with us. My fiance interview was on OCT 25th 2016, the interview was so far so good after 2 hours inside the US embassy in RYD. The VO took his fingerprint and handled a pamphlet to him and told this is your rights in America, then he got interviewed by the CO and made him to oath and took his fingerprint once again. Then he told him get back to the VO. Then the VO said make the payment of the courrier to deliver your passport. My fiance asked him what is the result of the interview he told him congrats, we are going to send your passport when it's ready.

Anywho, the status visa at ceca kept updates from the same day of interview 25th, 27th and 30th to 'READY' consecutively then on OCT 31st the creation date and update date both of them changed to OCT 31st then to 'ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSING' and the status visa went from immigrant to nonimmigrant. Since then there is no update.

We start to get stressed specially since the VO didn't give him any slip of 221g to put the visa status under AP and he kept his passport.

So this morning I emailed the embassy and sent to them:

My name is ....., the petitioner for the above case. I'm wondering if there is any missing documents regarding of my fiance interview which was taken on OCT 25th 2016 after the VO said congrats to him. The Ceca status changed a couple of times to 'READY' then since last OCT 31st stuck at 'Administrative Processing' since then there is no update, without given him any slip of 221g? Is he under AP of 221g? We look forward to hearing from you.

then the embassy answered back this afternoon:

No more documents requested and the case is under administrative processing.

Regards,

AZ

It's going through the necessary administrative processing. It's a good thing that's already in the non immigrant status, the next update most likely will be issued. But how long it will take is unpredictable. So hang in there and be patient, things will fall into place soon.

It sounds very normal to me. You just wait until the status say issued, which can take a little while (from a day to a few weeks I bet).

My status did something similar, and also changed from Ready to AP (immigrant changed to non-immigrant) back to Ready and then Issued.

AP for a male from the MENA region is to be expected. It's hard to predict how long it'll take.

It's a good sign. Hopefully the AP won't last too long, but it can take a while. Hang in there!

Our status went from ready for interview, then the creation date changed to the date of the interview, then once more after that. Then it changed from immigrant to non immigrant, then we went into AP for one day, then the next day it said issued. It's been the weekend in Saudi, so maybe you'll get it issued today (tonight for us) Also don't forget that time changed so it went from 7 hours time difference to 8! Goodluck!
