CEAC- No Status for K1

[KatieA 0]

Hello,

 

After we received NOA1 and NOA2, the USCIS sent our petition to the NVC for processing.  After 36 days of no updates, I emailed the NVC on April 30th asking what was happening, they replied saying our petition was being forwarded to the Embassy in Santiago.  We completed DS-160, and now checking our visa status on CEAC, it says "no status."  Does anyone know what this means and under what circumstances we should expect it to change?

 

Thank you!

When using CEAC to track your status as a K-1 you must select "immigrant visa" and then enter your case number. You can also use the confirmation number from your completed DS-160. Both will work but many are reporting that the DS # does a faster search.

That isn't true. When I enter the DS-160 number under Immigrant Visa, it isn't accepted. It only accepts it under Non-immigrant (where it shows no status for me, while the normal consulate number under IV shows AP)

Once your case has moved to the non-immigrant unit (at some time after your interview), it's fairly common for searching via your NVC# to time out. At that point, searching via your DS-160 confirmation # under NIV is useful.

Yes of course. I understand that. He was saying you can use your DS-160 number to search for your IV visa under the immigrant visa section instead of the consulate number, which doesn't work.

Yes it is true, you use your NVC assigned case number not the DS-160 # on the IV tracker

That is what I was saying you use the NVC consulate number under IV, and the DS number under NIV.

Except the NIV number won't work until after the Visa had been aproved

Which is what I've been saying all along

I stand corrected. Thank you.
