IMMIGRANT VISA APPLICATION

Issued

Immigrant Visa Case Number: HAPPY

Case Creation Date: 31-Oct-2014

Status Updated Date: 25-Jan-2016

Your visa case is currently undergoing necessary administrative processing. This processing can take several weeks. As the officer told you in the interview, if further information is needed, you will be contacted. If your visa application is approved when administrative processing is finished, you will receive notification to collect the passport with the visa from the Loomis branch you selected when you booked your appointment.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! I'm really happy you finally got it!!! Can't wait to see my case showing those beautiful letters!!!

I thought of that too

I thought of that too

I thought of that too

I have thought of that, but since I have had no luck contacting the entities related to the issue, I am not sure what impact I would have with the media =(. I have been looking to contact Primer Impacto or Univision, but I am not sure, if they would care about it =(.

Give it a try... My case is different because I'm dealing with the consulate of Montreal and they will not care for a latin TV station. and American TV Don't care about an immigrant case.

Hi!!

Nope =(. No reply from the president or vice president. I am getting so desperate, I do not know who else to contact that will help me. Let's see if we something out of the consul =(.

Have you think in contacting the Media??... even Donald Trump will make a big topic of this regarding "Legal Immigration"... don't know,,, I'm just thinking out loud. I'm desperate too.

I wrote my inquiry and question to the consul on facebook "Embajada de Estados Unidos en Cuba"

Tha's good! pero tienes que repetirle la pregunta a partir de las 2 cuando este live. Yo lo he hecho con el department of state, consular affairs. pero no contestan en referencia a AP solo info about Visas.

good Luck!!

Hi MaGi:

Any luck with the letter to the president?

I ask my congressman Carlos Curbelo to do another inquiry (they have done 3 already) and they got the same answer " Still in AP they need to wait"

Hi did you get any answer ?

I was called last month. They found someone who looks like me on a us visa issued in bahamas about 15 years ago. That's I'm still waiting now. In February i will have 1 year since i was put on AP.

Hi joseph!

Can't believe you are still stuck after your second interview... :wow:Have you notice any updates on your file? I don't have any news either... 8 months and nothing. they only post an update when i send an email. it makes me think my file is like the centerpiece on somebody's desk. (It's there but nobody touches it)

When my fiancé comes here on a fiancé visa does she have to have a round trip ticket itinerary or can it be one way?

Hi!

You don't need the round way ticket. I know cases that got round trip because was a lot cheaper than one way. but only for that reason.

Hey guys I have news..

I got ceac updated today January 20 - From Refused to Ready!!

Now, what is the game plan? I have seen a case with "Ready" been stuck on June 2015 , what is that mean?

Hi!!

That's awesome!! after all your wait, I'm sure "Issued" is next!! and very soon!!! :-))

I have no idea why my response didnt show up.

I'll definitely keep you updated. I dont think I need to bring updated info to the interview since I was already approved but Im nervous about that. I know my police checks are good - I checked the dates - but my medical expired Dec 29th :-/

Hi Priya!!

Are you original from Canada? or Do you work on a technological or Chemistry field? I've seen cases taking weeks and others taking months.

I think you should send them an email.

Hi MaGi:

I think I crashed CEAC server...

I'm guilty too!! lol!

it was out for about two hours, It's working now

I certainly plan on going up to MTL to be with her. We have no idea as medicals and police were all done just prior. They haven't asked for my stepson who interviewed with her to return. She is now so paniced, all this just before the holidays and interview right after the long holiday weekend.

Hi!

Did your wife have the interview? if yes, How was it? what did they ask? my husband has been waiting for almost 8 months and I'm sure they will probably ask for a second interview.

That is way beyond waiting time. Its very frustrating, I am feeling it right now..I am so mad!! I hope neither of us have to wait any longer, Its hitting my nerves....

What is the 221g for? If you are kept waiting, soon you will need to update docs such as affidavit, medical.

221g is a document they give for many reasons like missing documents, additional information or just because they will do a background check. in our case they never specified. My husband was born in Cuba. but has been in Canada for more than 15 years, is Can Citizen and has been here in US many times visiting. we had to present his police records from both Countries. now both reports are expired (medical and police) we are waiting for the consulate to request the new ones.

PriyaB, hope you get the visa stamp in the passport..

Idy Fdez, did you just say, 8 months for your case? wow

No update for me since Dec 31, what the heck?

Hi!!

yeap... 8 months on Administrative Processing for unknown reasons. my husband had a good interview and the CO told him "everything looks fine, wait 2 or 3 weeks". but they gave him a 221g. They never requested any additional doc. and the worse part is they only update the case when i send an email. I tried with my congressman but they answered the same to him. " Still under AP, you need to wait" :-(

I had sent an email asking for my passport to be returned this morning and recieved an email asking for an second interview for next Tuesday at 10 am.

Any one know what usually happens at a second interview?

I hope this is good news.

Hi Priya!!

I think it's good. I remember seeing 3 or 4 post about it. the most recent was ray of sunshine, they called her for a second interview after just 3 months of the first one. for what i have read they go thru the same things and probably will request new medical and police reports. Hope you finally get an issued soon after. please keep me posted. as you can imagine I'm desperate for any information, next week it will be 8 months that we have been waiting.

Hi MaGi:

Montreal is accepting Immigrants Visas inquiries over the phone?...

Mine is on immigrant ready. Does a CR1 change to non-immigrant in the system?
