So found out there are even more on the 23rd that are still AP... There really must be something about this date. Have only heard of 1 or 2 that have been issued.

I wish there's a way for us to know the real stats such as the percentage of people that is on 'Issued', 'AP', or visa on-hand status. Personally, if I see more than 10 people talking about it for just a single interview date, that could be 10% or less of the immigrant application on that day, then I would be worried. I know that as individual, it's easy to be worked up on what's actually going on in your application and you just really want to get this over with but at this point, you can choose to wait or call for your own peace of mind. Just don't be surprise if they give you the standard answer if it hasn't been over 4 weeks yet since the interview date. 

There are close to that many that have been issued after June 29th and June 30th dates. That's only the people that have spoken up on one Facebook group that is just a small fraction of people. It really has something to do with a whole stack of cases.

I believe that is a very lose assumption to make because we cannot create the stats based on 2-3 people that mentioned not having an update on their status (please correct me if my numbers are wrong). There's a lot of factors that comes with each and every application. In addition, VJ doesn't have all the people that got interviewed on that day.

 

Anyways, my point in my previous post is, if it's not beyond the 4 weeks mentioned by the CO, then do not press the panic button yet.

There's been more than 2 or 3 way more. Only know of 2 that has been issued. For other dates more recent almost everyone has been issued already as a matter of fact haven't heard of any that aren't issued yet after our dates.

If it was only 2 or 3, and that was a common issue then I wouldn't be concerned.

I believe the CO told applicants that the processing of the visa will take 2 to 4 weeks. Even told some applicants not to book flights until they have their visa on hand.

I honestly wouldn't do anything (except to wait impatiently) until it's past the 4 weeks standard timeframe.

I am guilty of comparing my timeline to others too but at the end, I use it as a way to predict my application's outcome so I can plan ahead. So far, that has worked for me. 

We're lucky that everything on our end was fast and fuss-free but believe me, we've always come up with the worst possible scenario and devise a plan to overcome it (if it were to happen).

 

Someone said before that instead of stalking the ceac website for status change, try to do something else--look around for things to dispose, reconnect with family and friends, try reaching some personal, short-term goals.

 

Hope this helps!

But this is a whole day's worth of applicants having issues. This isn't a "case by case" basis. 

We had our interview on May 23rd as well. Very simple interview. We are still AP as well. This is going to cost us to miss her flight :(

My guess would be that they misplaced a whole stack of cases. Wonder if there's any way we can get them to fix this?
