K1 - Is there something wrong with this document? - Approved Petition for K1 - London Embassy

[Aaron&Clari 1]

I called up NVC and they told me that they have memos from embassies about this issue, and they say that such petitions are still active. As I suspected, the CEAC status update is done on an automatic (unchecked?) basis.

 

The lawyers representing plaintiffs in Milligan v Pompeo seem to be aware of this (according to their weekly live videos) and may motion to the DoS to get these incorrect statuses sorted. I have a call with a US immigration lawyer based in the UK next week who used to work at the London embassy and he may have contacts still and send word to them to rectify and/or get word on the actual situation with this. So I hope to have some direct answer from the embassy. The answer from NVC is somewhat reassuring, albeit it is an indirect answer coming from the embassy, but it’d be a better feeling to get something straight from the embassy.

Hi - I just wanted to add my name to list of people whose CEAC status appears as Expired, documents destroyed. I too received no communication regarding anything of the sort and this thread was the first I heard of it!

 

For the record, I received the approval letter also in Jan 2020, completed the DS-160 in early Feb 2020, had medical 3 days before lockdown :(, still waiting for K1 appointments.

 

Whilst the expiration notice is concerning (does it mean the DS-160 records have been destroyed?), I am hopeful that it is simply an automatic notification oversight and that behind the scenes everything is simply on hold...
