Hey folks, just thought I would update you all on our situation. We called DHL yesterday morning to request delivery the same day, since the passport was already in the system. We did not want to have to wait the whole weekend for the passport. Estimated delivery date was for Monday, but customer service was able to get our passport delivered yesterday! They said because we had travel plans and it was a visa, they had no problem sending it out earlier. What a relief!
 
We picked up the visa yesterday and immediately purchased flight tickets for last night. We found very cheap tickets with a very good airline and arrived in Dallas this morning! POE was a breeze, we arrived at 5am and went through without any lines. Now waiting here to take our connecting flight home! What a journey it has been, VJ has been an invaluable resource for us. So glad to be back in the USA!

Surreal is the perfect word to describe the last 24 hours!

Just had my visa interview today and got Approved!!! I am so ecstatic to being almost ready to go back to the US and reunite with my husband! 
The status still says ready, it hasn't been changed to Administrative processing but I was told that my passport should be ready next week for picking up.
 
Good luck to the rest of the VJ family waiting on interview dates/interviews!

It could go to another DHL facility near you. I am not sure about your city, but in ours the status reads "Out for delivery" when the package is actually out for the delivery to your address.

We just got the waybill number today. Tracking says "shipment information received", so I can only assume DHL is capable of delivering a package by next day within the same city. If that is the case, we could potentially fly out Saturday morning, provided the passport is available for pickup tomorrow. If not, we have to wait until Monday. Wish DHL were open on Saturday...

Status on CEAC just changed to "Issued" a few moments ago! Hoping we get that DHL number by tomorrow!

There's no change, it's a visa category, not phone number or something. And there's no reason to expedite as far as I can see. Only because they want so? It's not enough. Millions want.

Congrats!  Not sure which embassy you're, but it took about 2 days from the status change for my wife's passport to leave the embassy.  She had the visa in hand about 4 days after the status changed to "ISSUED".  
 
US Embassy Manila.  

Congrats! EP is too good to be true, except it actually is real.

Ok, just forget my last question. I called NVC now, and my case is complete (less than 2 weeks on EP).

We also used EP and got a checklist (NVC's fault) and they listed all of the items that were supposedly missing. Since they listed multiple items, I feel like they list all of the items that are missing together in one checklist.

Waiting on the embassy for my status to change to "Issued". It has been 2 business days since the interview and they say it takes 5-7 business days to get the visa at DHL. Hoping to have the visa in hand sooner than later.

Visa approved!  I will post a thorough review in a little bit.

Just finished writing our review of the embassy. I made sure to detail every single step of the process inside the embassy, so anyone going through Buenos Aires will have a clear picture of what to expect.
 
Overall, very quick and efficient process. The people were friendly and the questions were easy. In and out in less than a couple hours. The majority of the time we were just sitting and waiting to be called in for the interview.
 
Those waiting for your interview, relax! You've made it through the worst and the interview is just the cherry on top.

Today is the day! I have been lying awake in a hotel room in Buenos Aires since 1 in the morning overanalyzing every detail of our case. Just business as usual with this whole process!
 
In 4 hours we will be at the embassy and I am hoping we are in and out in less than an hour. Time to finish this beast once and for all and get back to America.

CEAC shows Administrative Processing, according to the guide in here it means they are making the visa.

Yeheyyyyy am so happy for both of you  may you have smooth journey almg the way  you guys will be reunited soon with your spouses 😍😍😍

The official response was 5-7 business days, but I know of others who received their passport in like 2 days. So we'll see. I am going to follow up with DHL to see if we can travel sooner than a week from now.
