Congrats, posted similar news as well!

Also, keep emailing and emailing the embassy. I harassed the JA embassy through email. they were giving me updates before the CEAC website was.

Hey guys, just as an update, I booked his ticket!!!! He was given his visa yesterday!!! Thank you guys for all your support and I will continue to check up on you guys and hopefully we get some more positive and quick statuses!!! I am definitely rooting for you guys so we can all be done with this step of our journeys!

Drum roll please....... WE'RE APPROVED!!!!

So excited that I'm actually a little nervous. This is really happening. YAAAAAYYYY!!!!!

OMG!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so happy for you guys!! Did they say when he will get his visa?!

Yes gurl, you can dream, I dreamt about this processing happening step by step without any delays and finally being with my fiancé finally. Good luck with the 2nd interview, and hopefully Corey can get an updated status on cEAC!!!

WOW!!! How exciting! Congrats and the light at the end of the tunnel is closer than ever now for you both!!!!!

Thanks and keeping my fingers crossed for you guys!!!

Just as an update my CEAC status changed from "Administrative Processing" to "Issued", hopefully he gets the visa soon!!

I think it goes from Ready >AP>Issued. But if I am not mistaken I think some has skipped the AP part and went straight to Issued.

Our case has said Administrative Processing since the interview date of Jan. 10, 2014. The date only changed the day after they received some of our 221g documents. So I hope that is confirming that something IS happening when the date changes. Now we just have to wait for his follow-up appointment/ document submission next week on 2-27-14. I know the date has to change that day too BUT I hope the AP changes to READY or just skip all the way to ISSUED! ( sorry the wait is making me delirious )

GOOD LUCK TO US & MAY WE ALL REMEMBER.... IT COULD BE WORSE!!!

Good luck next week and keep us posted!!

we are going through same thing too. i guess these days they are doing background checks for security purposes. the co said my fiancé is approved by him. he was super nice he apologized that we are apart for a year now from each other its very hard. but he said the maximum wait is probably 1 week to 4 months. they gave us a paper which has nothing marked its just AP. i hope it goes by fast for every one. keep praying guys.

Well March 2nd will be our second month of waiting after his interview on Jan. 2nd, I am hoping it doesn't take 4 months! Definitely am trying to stay positive.

Thanks

Just as an update, my CEAC status changed from "Ready" to "Administrative Processing" today. So hopefully that finally means they are moving along.

Our Status Updated Date has changed now around 8-9 times since Jan-15... but I honestly have no idea what that means as no one can tell us a thing about the progress so far when I call. It's great to see that maybe someone is working on it but I've heard others never saw this date change and Voila! Visa was issued. So I have no clue what to think or look at....

I guess being soo close to end, is nerve recking. Even though there will be more to come once he comes to the states, but once we are together, the wait won't be as bad.

Congrats!

We had our interview on Jan-15 and were told that they needed additional time for Administrative Processing also. Ugh! They didn't seem ready for us on the date we were interviewed either (couldn't locate our file initially, etc) Here we sit, the CEAC site reads READY like it has since before the interview and the status updated date keeps changing - which we pray is good - but still no word yet. We were told by the man interviewing us that it would only take 2-3 weeks..... fortunately I wasn't confident in this timeline as we are now at the 5-week mark. UGH!!

What worries me with my case is that I haven't seen the dates change on the CEAC website, how often does your change?

I hastedly paid it via phone. I didn't know it had to be paid at time of interview.

Aww man, sorry to hear. Going into this blindly, we learn as we go along.

Can you tell me exactly what tax papers, u are referring too, does Jamaica, want a w-2 or income tax returns or both? Please let me know when you get a moment. thanks

At first the interviewer told my fiancé that he was approved and that they just needed my income tax return papers, after sending that, they said they also needed my W-2's afterwards. Even thought the affidavit papers doesn't mention that, definitely send in all of your tax return papers including W-2's!

I couldn't afford for that to happen so I am waiting until he has it in hand. I have already paid the visa fee twice. Smh.

Why twice?!

Dang, that sucks, I bought a plane ticket thinking that the visa was really going to come two weeks after his interview, so I had to cancel it a day before it was scheduled for so I lost out on some money there.

I am in a very similar situation. At time of interview they did not have the original affidavit of support and temporarily denied the visa until they receive the original. My fiance was told by the CO that interviewed him that once they receive it, they will send him his passport and visa. Well, his interview was on 12/24/2013 and they received the original on 12/27/2013 as I sent it same day via FedEx. To this day we are still stuck in limbo. Every time I e-mail to inquire I am told that it's under administrative processing, last e-mail they told me that it's under administrative review and that they have a heavy workload. I asked if there is a difference between AP and AR and the only thing they replied with is once the process is over they will contact me. The embassy is quite vague in their responses. It is a costly and stressful process, especially with not knowing what is causing the delay. Next week it will be two months since my fiance had his interview.

Yeah, the embassy never answers the questions you ask them! They always say it is in processing. You could write them a whole paragraph and they will respond with 8-10 words the max including "you will be contacted when the processing is done." And yet they take a week to respond in the first place. Anyway just keep the faith as I am doing the same.

Sorry, nobody can tell you how long AP will take. Hope you get your answer and approval soon! Good luck

Thanks!

Our K-1 visa interview was on Jan. 2 in Jamaica, the interviewer notified him that he was approved but needed my tax papers. I sent everything to them like two weeks later. After emailing them they notified us that the case was in administrative review, and then two weeks later after sending another email, they said the case was in administrative processing. What's the difference between the two and about how much longer will we have to wait?! Also the ceac website hasn't been updated for us, it keeps saying "ready", from Feb. 3 a whole month after the interview, even though the embassy said we are in administrative processing. This whole process is stressful!
