Cindy and Matt

Mine went from Issued to being in my hand in a couple of days. That;s not to say I didn;t have huge issues with the CSC. More than 2 weeks prior I tried contacting them to change my delivery to a pick-up. Every email took over a day for a response, sometimes two. The first reply was confirming I had registered #facepalm1. I corrected them and stressed the points of my actual equiry and the last response was what address would I like to change it to #facepalm2. The CEAC tracker went to issued a day later and the CSC started ghosting me. I then got a sms from the courier saying they would delivery to my (old) address that morning so I rush over there hoping to intercept for the web tracker to later update to tomorrow. I did eventually intercept the courier and got my passport thanks to their live tracker but the CSC is clearly not fit for purpose. I would contact them as your delay sounds abnormal.

Well hold the mother-forking baked beans on toast! I felt something was amiss when the CEAC tracker went AP all morning instead of just for a an hour or so like it has on and off the past few weeks. This afternoon, status changed again but this time to ISSUED! **** YEAH! I am having problems with the courier as I have had my passport returned to me during the background checks (see my other thread on that balls-up) and now they cannot change my delivery preferences. I WANT to pick that mofo up but I cannot change it on AIS. I don't trust anyone else at this point, least of all delivery drivers (sorry to anyone that works as one, been burnt there and I just don't). Al...most....there...........

Yes, they said to only send the new one. No need for the old one and the new stamps wouldn't be a problem. Nice one! Congratulations! Also, pilot?

I have been offered a really good job and I need to get over there to do the drugs test, get my SSN, etc. I cannot understand how I can get a brand new passport in 7 days and the issuance of a visa takes so long.

3 weeks after sending my passport back to the embassy and my medical results arriving from VM I am still waiting for any hope I will get my passport back any time soon. How long are people waiting after approval for their passports to be returned with their visas? It used to be about a week, sometimes a few days, but I am slowly going nuts. First the 6 month wait for background checks and now this. On CEAC I see the 'last updated' date changing almost every day but I feel like I am being deliberately delayed now.
