I initiated petition case for my husband in March 2018, He had his visa interview on 08/05/2019, was told he got approved and to wait for his passport to be returned to him in about 3 weeks, it’s been over two months now and he hasn’t received his passport, his case in the CEAC page shows ready for interview and it shows it has been updated several times, 09/30, 10/07, 10/08, 10/11 and 10/17, the embassy is only saying we have to wait and aren’t explaining what this means.

 

We had a baby girl in May 2019 and he hasn’t been able to meet her. This wait is the worst..

 

Anyone experience something similar?

@Meyling, my Husband’s case was updated today 10/23 and it finally shows issued. Praise the Lord!. Anything for you?

Normally, it does.....but someone possibly just flagged it incorrectly......"Issued" will be the key status to look for.

Sounds like normal administrative processing.......Approval is evidenced by the status changing to "Issued".....

The case shows ready though, I thought it had to say administrative processing if that’s what’s happening

Mine is the same thing, my husbands interview was September 25th told he’ll get his visa in 2-4 weeks. It’s been 4 weeks and the status still says Ready. Let’s keep each other updated. Good luck! Hopefully status change to issued soon.

 

In which US embassy did you go to?
