The passport will be returned to you with the visa in it, any day now.
 
I see that they are NOT closed on Friday - it is already Thursday (Thanksgiving) morning in Guangzhou

Guys, thanks for the reply which really has brought high hope in my heart.

Guys, thanks for the reply which really has brought high hope in my heart.

My husband's did that as well.  I read here on VJ, and it proved to be true, that the post-interview flip-flopping CEAC status portends the visa being issued.  You guys are close!

You were approved and they kept your passport. Most people think that the minute they are approved, the passport will be stamped with the Visa...lol...After approval, it goes into AP for processing and the status might change between AP and Issued back to AP and then issued, which is normal.  Just as I tell everyone else, go to CEAC, if you are K1 Visa, on top if it says None Immigrant Visa, then your visa was issued even though AP status did not change. If still shows Immigrant Visa on top, then they are still working on it. Give it few days to a week and you should receive the good news.   Good luck!

Nothing to do but wait.
Typically it only takes days or a week or so. In some rare cases it takes weeks to months or even over a year.
Every case goes through AP.

Thanks for the reply. We'll keep our fingers crossed. Maybe my visa will be issued in a few days.

And whether it takes hours or months, every case goes through administrative processing.

Guys, I passed visa interview on Nov 5th.

The date when we noticed our case was approved  was when we were on vacation in Bangkok last week, we were sitting at McDonald's in Siam Paragon which wasn't opened until 10 am, my fiance was checking email on his cellphone, then told me our case was approved,  I was just completely calm, most people would probably cry or smile, I was just calm.......It's hard to describe all these over 13 years difficulty we've been through together. Realizing that we are still the lucky couple compared to lots of gay couple in other countries, I thanks god, family and friends who support us in one way or another during those difficult time.  Thank you for your support and kindness.

Hi! Guys,
After 3 years and 1 month waiting, our k1 visa was approved on July 2nd 2018, we will keep updating our processing timeline on this form.  The timeline part of this form somehow didn't let me complete the timeline, it kept saying I wasn't putting correct date on N0A 1 and NOA2,  USCIS received our k1 application in June 1st 2015, transferred our application to Vermont service center from California Center in May 18 2016,  We got NOA2 on July 2 2018.  We wanna thank you for supporting us and giving us suggestion.

Guys, we just received an email from NVC and they said they already sent our k1 application file to Guangzhou where I'm expecting a visa interview. I'm hoping to receive package 3 before we are flying to Bangkok on Sep 5th.
