BETEPOK

I have my passport!!! I got the email today (Friday) at 10:17 saying that the documents were ready for pickup at BLS in Montreal. I saw a previous post saying that they were usually sent on Fridays, and it was true for me.
 
I almost got a heart attack once I got there, at 2:40 pm, after 1.5 hours of driving (with the kids!), and the doors of their offices were closed! No sign or anything explaining it. A lady who was sitting nearby told me she had been told they were on their lunch break...! They reopened at 3:00pm and I easily got my documents. But that was a stressful way to end a stressful 544-day process!
 
We're crossing the border tomorrow. Thank you so much to everyone on this forum, all the posts and comments were extremely useful and we really appreciate it. Good luck to everyone, this is a very difficult process and it was often hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel... But we do get there!

I was informed via e-mail at 10:51 that my passport was ready to ship. The SAME 10:51 time there was e-mail from Purolator with tracking #. I rushed to CEAC to see what was in there - ISSUED. All works like clock movement! 

It means somebody was working on your case on that date.  keep checking the CEAC. There will be no notification, just CEAC: https://ceac.state.gov/ceac/   Best wishes!!!!
 

My visa got approved and issued today! My case was in administrative processing for a total of 5 business days. Don’t know when my tracking number will come in, does it usually take 24hrs for them to send an email?
 
thank you all for your help and support this past year and a half. this forum has been the only thing that gave me hope waiting all this time ❤️ 

Checking in and making sure everyone is doing okay. My process ended as we are divorcing. Was all just too much!! Happy many of you got your visas though! 

WE got approved today, March 23 from Potomac.   Didn't check the status for four days  'cause it had been actively reviewed since August 19th 2021, kinda lost any hope. But here it is, boom!   don't even know if the date changed before approval.

My wife just got approved at her interview this morning! Embassy was very busy and the wait was long, but the actual interview was quick and simple.

Update: Logged in and saw the approved letter!

It is a garbage system, lol. Try changing the name of your document.

I was trying to upload some additional documents from The Netherlands, but I got the same error. I emailed said documents to my wife, for her to try. She got the same error. Then later on in the day, she tried again. Same documents, same names. And it worked.

Later, I tried again but some other document. That didn't work again. Then I changed the name from "Proof of relationship - hanging out with friends 2019" to "Photos" and it worked. So try naming the documents simple.

Hi guys, have anyone experienced problems with Emma lately? It kicks me out of live chat citing system error...
 

Our case just got approved. Woohoo!!!!!! 
 
Well, not technically approved as the case status still says "Case Is Being Actively Reviewed By USCIS" lol however, when I logged into my USCIS account this morning I saw the approval notice was attached under the "documents" section - and on the approval notice, it has got Vermont SC address stamped on it (at the bottom). 
 
Below is my timeline: - 
 
SC: Nebraska (As per Emma & USCIS agent - our case was transferred to Vermont SC) 
PD: 03/21/21
AR: 08/19/21
Changed to AR status again / Case Approved: 09/14/21 
 
Total days = 178 days (approx. 6 months)

Update!!!!! I just checked online and saw that my case status was changed to actively reviewed on September 6 but when I went to documents I saw the approval document. Thank GOD!!! I am so happy. Was so scared based on my previous situation.
