Unusual Status Time

[dblackhawk 0]

My fiancee and I received AP status on January 23, 2017. Status changed to READY on January 26 then updated on 31st again to READY. It has not updated again since then and is still on READY. (9 days so far). One time we checked and it actually was on the READY (for interview) status  (for only about 1 hour) but changed back to visa READY status.

This seems like an awfully long time to wait for 2nd AP Status or ISSUED. any suggestions ? I have been waiting here in the Philpines since Sept and we really want to go home. Thanks.

Assuming it is K1 Visa and your fiance is done with interview. Look on top of CEAC, does it say IMMIGRANT VISA or NONE IMMIGRANT VISA? If NIV, then you have the visa and just a matter of time for it to change to ISSUED. CEAC status can change rapidly for some strange reasons, from AP to Ready back to AP then ISSUED.

If definitely says NIV. Actually I guess I never noticed it saying IV. Thanks for the into, just seems very long because everyone says 2-3 days of READY.

Yes, from the day NVC sent your case to Manila and prior to the Visa being approved and issued, it normally says "IV" but when Visa was issued, it will change to "NIV" which means soon it will show ISSUED.

Thanks for that Mmagic ! One other thing I noticed while checking status (don't remember exactly when) is that in the pop up status box where the brown case number appears on the first line) they added 01 MNL after the original MNL case number. Any significance ?

If there is only one person being petitioned then it shows 01. In our case on CEAC, I petitioned my fiance and her son so this is how it shows:

 

SGPXXXXXXXXXX 01 SGP      HERS

SGPXXXXXXXXXX 02 SGP     HER SON (K2)-----This will change by next week to MNL cause we transferred it to the US Embassy in Manila, it shows "TRANSFER IN PROCESS" for now.
