Thanks Bethany,  They said 3-4 weeks.  Hope you get a date soon.

Submitted docs in late July.  Notified about interview in mid August for interview on Sept 7.  Can't get here soon enough.  

I submitted my docs prior on filling DS260. As soon as I completed DS260 and docs were with NVC .. it took us a week for CC ! Good luck  x

After nvc accepts your documents..it takes 3 weeks r less to case complete..then they will schedule an interview with your embassy..it depends on your embassy timeframe..

Its frustrating to see that still nothing has been done....after uploading documents,I received an email regarding my case status update and had to resubmit few documents and then again  received the same email from NVC and this time they are asking for some new documents but since the system is down,I m unable to do so...feels like they are just stalling my case....Why don't they ask for all documents at once...does anyone here faced the same problem or is it just me that still my documents are incomplete

I stated that I had an issue that I wanted to bring something to the senator/representatives attention.  they might ask for your address, to make sure you're one of their constituents.  I let them know that the issue was the department of state website, called it the CEAC by name, described how I had attempted to call the NVC on two different occasions to ask if there was any other options.  I emphasized that we were trying to follow the legal path to immigration for our family and that we have been at a stand-still since July 19th with no idea when we might be able to proceed.  I made sure I was very friendly, that I wanted to thank the representative/senator for their efforts in Washington and then asked if there might be anyone else that they suggest we reach out to as well

Wow it's Monday and still nothing. No report, no statement on the issue, no time estimation. It's like my life is on pause because this is all I'm thinking about....its been 10 long months and I just wanna pay these fees, submit ds260 and documents and get on with life sigh it's frustrating and overwhelming. Trying to keep positive but it's hard. I'm trying to trust that something good will arise soon....like very soon!

I was pocking around the ceac website and came across this page: https://ceac.state.gov/CTRAC/Maintenance.aspx 
 
There's a generic message about some users being able to access the site but not all users. Now please tamper your expectation. That link/message doesn't have any date. So maybe it's related to some outage from before or maybe it's related to current outage that started July  1, 2018. Just trying to post things that I learned for others to see. 
 
 

Will be interesting to see how it goes once the site is back up and everyone trying to upload at once...should make for a nice backlog and delays

Thank you.  Please keep us posted.
 

Hi All,
Decided to tweet as many related departments to get a better answer, or at least an updated answer since the change.
Will keep you all updated if any changes arise!
Really hoping they answer soon!

Hi everyone, 
 
I might have some insight into this. I just had my interview at the Brussels embassy today (pivot case, so everything uploaded on CEAC) and the officer apologised that it would take a bit long because I was their test subject since there's a brand new system that they've never used before.
 
So I think they're revamping the system.

Here are the live tweet links. Maybe this will help calm some nerves to the folks who are constantly refreshing the CEAC website and this VJ thread. 
 

No  nobody has been able to access it. I’ve seen them replying to someone on Twitter stating “they’d be back on Friday but it’s subject to change -thanks for your patience” 
i hope it’s back up and running tomorrow even though my main concern is that there will be so many of us on it and might slow down the website. They should have informed us..a week or two longer for us it’s precious time we could have been with our spouses 

Me too. im a non pivot case and was lucky to not fill out a ds261 because NVC already recognised i had a lawyer and was able to pay both fees at the same time. it took two days for them to change status to paid and move on to complete ds260..however i get a surprise as soon as logging back to CEAC stating system is down ..for the last thing i needed to do before a faithful Case Completed! ...
I have read old threads from past months/last year to see if ceac has been down before, and it has, but maximum of about 2 days...
Thank God for VJ ! We're all here to support each other in frustration or happiness, it will all end soon x
