check ustraveldocs for updates--once the message "ready for pickup" appears--you can pick it up

You didn't jump the gun. Mine never said visa printed--the updates stopped at issued--and picked visa up next day.

Issued is the final ceac update. You should regularly check ustraveldocs now for updates. Next status update you'll receive from ustraveldocs is ready for pickup.

Don't think it's related to the filing date because we filed in February. Can you call/e-mail the consulate explaining that you have a wedding coming up in a few weeks? I've had pretty positive experiences emailing the consulate.

Same process/timing as Bobmulove:

Oct. 27th: Interview Approved

Oct 27th: Status updated to "Ready"

Nov 6th: "Administrative Processing"=heart palpitations

Nov 9th: "Issued"

We're hoping to pick his passport up either today or tomorrow.

Don't worry Kekeandmodelet. You still have some time.

My fiance and I applied for a K-1 Visa in February 2015. We received our NOA1 on February 20th, 2015 and our NOA2 on August 14th, 2015. The issue is that my fiance has also recently received approval for an application for advance parole under the Haitian Family Reunification Program (HRFP) which means that he currently has been approved for two visa applications and is slated to interview for both at the US Embassy in Haiti this fall. We are in the process of determining which visa would be most advantageous (mostly likely K-1) and we have a question---can an applicant be issued two different visas concurrently--meaning if my fiance is issued advance parole under the HRFP program--would his K-1 application be nullified--or can he be issued both visas (K-1 and advance parole) and then decide under which status he would like to enter the US on? We have called the National Visa Center and USCIS multiple times with this question and have received contradictory guidance. This morning a USCIS rep said that an applicant cannot be approved under two different visa categories which means that since his HRFP application was approved first the i-129F application should have been cancelled (which contradicts USCIS guidance we've received over the past 4 months). This rep then suggested that she would send me a letter advising me of the cancellation. This would be highly unfavorable as we have waited 6 months+ for the NO2 (thanks to TSC backlog)--and given the travel restrictions associated with the HRFP option--we would like to pursue the i-129F option.

We're really at a loss and would appreciate any guidance that you would be able to give.
