Mine was only in it for a few hours smile.png it should change to issued very soon!!

And haha glad you were able to book it Natonstan xD I think it's optional because they see your passport at check in anyways ^^

 

That's exactly what my dad said, It's all booked now so I'm happy :)

CEAC now says Administrative Processing. On average, how long does it stay in AP before it moves to issued? 

 

it was 3/4 hours for me and the others in this thread :)

Who are you flying with? Delta didn't ask me for my passport details. I remember my fiancé not having his passport through yet when he booked his flight with United as well (though he booked that over the phone and explained it tongue.png) maybe you could try calling who you are booking with and explain you're waiting for the passport and that's the only peice of info you can't remember? smile.png

 

Otter you're my savior, I found out the passport box is optional, I was putting in my number and it wouldn't let me do that AND put the date in, if i left both it worked!

Ok guys i'm mad, I was just booking a flight, UNTIL I REALISED I DON'T HAVE MY PASSPORT EXPIRY WRITTEN DOWN ANYWHERE! I have my passport number on multiple documents, but not the expiry date! So now I'm gonna have to wait till I have my passport in my hand before I can book a flight!

I didn't pay extra delivery,  I am going to pick mine up!!   I think it would be nice for you to have your time to say goodbye, after all we won't be allowed to travel home and see loved ones for a while!  I haven't looked into where the visa gets delivered too, somewhere in Manchester. Do you have a phone number for when I need to ring them to pick it up?   I am really happy for you by the way, stay in touch and let me know how POE goes. I have read reviews and it seems fine, I will be at POE in Philadelphia, but they have always seemed a friendly lot.

 

Then number is 0844 371 0000, when it asks you for tracking number just hit your star key * and then you'll be put through to someone, everyone i've spoken to at DX seemed friendly enough, you might be waiting on hold for around 5 minutes but it's no big deal. I MIGHT be going through Philly too, the last time I went through there was on 9/11 last year so you can imagine how bad security was at that time. One thing that's concerning me is the fact I have to connect, obviously the layover times are always around 2 hours, I just hope this is enough time! 

 

Oh and i'll definitely be keeping in touch with everyone!


NatonstanMaleUnited Kingdom2014-02-21 08:25:00
United KingdomCEAC Status "Case Created" Date changed?

cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Does that mean you can pick it up or just track it?

 

Delivery on monday, I just called and asked about a delivery tomorrow and she said it's just arriving in the depot over there near London I presume so I'd have to call back later but she did say it would cost, after already paying £19 I don't think I want to pay anymore so I think i'll just leave it till monday morning, at least it gives me the weekend to pack and say my goodbyes!


NatonstanMaleUnited Kingdom2014-02-21 08:15:00

Almsot coming up to 1PM which is when Scotty got his tracking number, I've got my fingers crossed!

Just checking in, today IS the day we get our tracking numbers I can feel it ;) Midday can't come quick enough

I'd be happy to get a Saturday delivery n Sunday flight...I will make sure if tracking number comes tomorrow to see if sat

 

That would be my plan too, hopefully we get what we want for once!

Same here sad.png
Called Delta to ask about change fees just in case. 100 quid plus any difference in fare price. I can change my flight but I've just got to give at least 2 hours notice. I know I probably seem super pessimistic but I'm just thinking of the worst case scenario ^^' the lady on the phone was very understanding and told me good luck and hopes we receive it in time.

The guy at the Ipswich DX place is really nice and said he has no problem with me checking back. I have a feeling we are going to get our email with the tracking number tomorrow, and get it by Saturday.

I spoke to him about the delivery process and he told me they collect from the embassy at the end of the working day, and then they take them to Northampton and then from there they get distributed to the other cities by the morning. He wasn't 100% sure but he said he thinks the embassy usually sends out the email around midday, saying they've handed the visa over to DX. So by about 3-4pm they have the list of everything they picked up. So when you get the tracking email, it usually means the next morning it will be available for pick up/be delivered.

He was extremely nice and said good luck and he hopes to have good news for us over the weekend. smile.png he also said sometimes they make mistakes and they might have just missed a name off and they might get it. If they do, he will let me know as soon as he sees it! Very nice customer service from both DX and Delta tongue.png






 

VERY helpful info, thanks Otter! We'll all get our tracking numbers tomorrow :)

United KingdomCEAC Status "Case Created" Date changed?

Are you having it delivered to your house then?
I'm picking mine up because there's one in my town (Ipswich) tongue.png
I'm really hoping we all get ours in time. I know I should have waited til I got it to book my flight but I assumed we'd be okay because the lady who interviewed me said I should get it around the 20th. xD

 

Yup I am, the nearest depot for me was Leeds which is over an hour away so I just chose home delivery, I was actually gonna book a flight last night, kinda glad I didn't now, I REALLY hope we get it within the next few days!


NatonstanMaleUnited Kingdom2014-02-20 10:08:00
United KingdomCEAC Status "Case Created" Date changed?

Just called DX up and gave them my postcode and information, she told me their system updates after 3:30 so I should call back then because nothings coming up as of yet (obviously if it updates they'll have yesterdays info on there) so I'm gonna call back later. 


NatonstanMaleUnited Kingdom2014-02-20 09:43:00

The way is so frustrating! I'm checking my emails constantly hoping and hoping.

Awww man. I just got a call from DX courier. Was like !!!! Maybe it arrived? But nope xD the guy was just calling me to confirm my mobile number (cuz I gave it over my landline phone yesterday)

And yeah hopefully we get emailed today! biggrin.png

 

Damn you got me excited when I read that first bit! I think this bit is the worst because we're all issued, just waiting to physically have it now! Just hurry up and gives us our stuff!


NatonstanMaleUnited Kingdom2014-02-20 03:49:00
United KingdomCEAC Status "Case Created" Date changed?

Hey thanks for letting us know smile.png just wondering, when abouts did you get your tracking number?

 

According to the K1 guide we get emailed it? I'm waiting for it today! I hope it comes


NatonstanMaleUnited Kingdom2014-02-20 03:28:00
United KingdomCEAC Status "Case Created" Date changed?

I noticed that they wrote ASAP on my file so I'm certain it will come before this week is out. Glad there weren't any problems and it was just the computers. Tammy just called me and told me the status was changed to Issued, I cant wait to get home to Tammy and hopefully it'll be here in the next 2 days so because we have been through all this together, medical on the same day, Interview on the same day, you should get yours really soon and no reason to change the flights..... fingers crossed for you.


We have moved to ISSUED!!!!


 

Haha did your American Fiance find out before you too! I was checking all morning then I left it for an hour and in that hour she messaged me saying it was issued :)


NatonstanMaleUnited Kingdom2014-02-19 07:25:00
United KingdomCEAC Status "Case Created" Date changed?

Can I just ask you guys that booked flights, when have you booked them for? I'm gonna do mine later today and I wanna be safe!

Same! tongue.png

 
Thank you so much for the info smile.png I really hope I do receive it by then, that would be fantastic! I'm picking mine up at one of the courier locations as luckily there is one in my town ^^

The whole 'Admin processing' thing just scares a lot of people because of some of the stories on VJ about it lasting a while, but according to the guide this is a normal status change for London ^^






 

Haha I think the same thoughts were going through your head when you saw AP, I immediately asked Scotty and he told me he was in it for like 4 hours so that REALLY put my mind at ease


NatonstanMaleUnited Kingdom2014-02-19 04:41:00
United KingdomCEAC Status "Case Created" Date changed?

My status just changed to Administrative Processing, how long does this usually last for London?

Really hoping to see "Issued" today at some point guys (and girls)

United KingdomCEAC Status "Case Created" Date changed?

Haha! And yep alot of my family are like 'how on earth are you two dealing with all that paperwork at your age?' and I'm like 'well it's all thanks to Visajourney!' Lol xD I used to think there might be some like age limit on the K1 like over 21 or something but thankfully not tongue.png

 

My family was SO impressed because I did all of this without any help from them and I agree without VisaJourney i'd have been so lost, definitely gonna be sticking around through the whole AOS process and beyond. 


NatonstanMaleUnited Kingdom2014-02-18 07:32:00
United KingdomCEAC Status "Case Created" Date changed?

 

How many people on here are from Sheffield? Me too, btw! Congrats guys, you're likely getting your visas this week. (Yesterday was a holiday in the US btw, so the embassy was likely closed - it's likely it might be a day later than planned, but just the one day!)

 

I can confirm the embassy was definitely closed yesterday, they had a notice on the website saying so, and I can't believe that, I thought everyone was from London or at least the south, I've not heard from anyone in the north let alone Sheffield.


NatonstanMaleUnited Kingdom2014-02-18 07:25:00
United KingdomCEAC Status "Case Created" Date changed?

Oh right cool biggrin.png I probably should have checked bout that haha! I'm going to be 20 on my birthday so another year for me! People usually make leap year jokes about my birthday being Feb 28th tongue.png but I don't think 1994 was even a leap year xD

The flight I wanted only had 5 seats left so I quickly grabbed it! The price had also dropped so we definitely wanted to grab it at that time tongue.png

Also hey Tammy I am guessing Mark already has his flight booked as well? smile.png his interview was the same day as mine ^^



 

Wow I thought I was the only one doing this at such a young age! It's crazy going from being able to drink to not being able to legally, but only about a month before I'm able to... i'm not an alcoholic or anything LOL


NatonstanMaleUnited Kingdom2014-02-18 07:22:00
United KingdomCEAC Status "Case Created" Date changed?

LOL ..my birthday is also April 1st! I will be checking ceac very frequently n Mark has number to DX. This last stretch is exciting n stressful at the same time. Even if we have to change flights it's almost time. I

 

That's crazy, you're the one who's fiance is also from Sheffield right? I'm checking CEAC every hour!


NatonstanMaleUnited Kingdom2014-02-18 07:11:00
United KingdomCEAC Status "Case Created" Date changed?

Oh awesome I hope you do get it real soon! and yeah I want to be there in time for my birthday which is the end of this month ^^I know it was silly of us but we booked me a flight (it was already pretty short notice and there were only 5 seats left) so I am hoping it does arrive in time otherwise we are going to have to deal with the change fee with Delta xD I'm guessing you already booked your flight too?

 

That's great, my birthdays actually April 1st (Yeah make your April fools jokes, the woman at the embassy did too LOL) and I'll be 21 so I'll be able to drink... the thing I've been able to do here for years, but I didn't book a flight yet, I'm planning on getting a next day flight (I'm heading to Texas) I made sure beforehand it would be possible otherwise I would've booked one in advance, I just didn't wanna risk it just yet


NatonstanMaleUnited Kingdom2014-02-18 06:49:00
United KingdomCEAC Status "Case Created" Date changed?

Mine says exactly the same, I actually just said next week (meaning this week) and she told me it should definitely be here so that I could leave at the end of the week, I'm not worrying about it being late or anything, you can look at peoples timelines on here from this month and they're getting visas super quick! I guess you're like me and you're planning on shooting off as soon as you get the visa?

 

 

Hey! smile.png it says:

 

Case Creation Date: 18-Feb-2014 Status Updated Date: 18-Feb-2014    

 

Your case is open and ready for your interview, fingerprints, and required documents. If you have already had your interview, please check your status after two business days. If no interview was required, please check back in two business days for the status of your application.

 

What day did you tell them you were planning on leaving? tongue.png I said the 26th and she said it should be possible to get it to me in time (I really hope so! xD)

 


NatonstanMaleUnited Kingdom2014-02-18 06:40:00
United KingdomCEAC Status "Case Created" Date changed?

?Hey Otter, what does the text say? I had mine on the 13th also and my dates changed to today too :)

 

Hey! My interview was the day after yours and my creation date has changed to today's date, as well.
I did a search for this on VJ and it seems the case creation date usually changes just before it turns to issued! I am not 100% certain but from what I read it seems to be the case smile.png So hopefully we will see it changed to issued tomorrow, that would be great! biggrin.png

Edit: the text below the 'Ready' also changed from what it used to say. Did that happen for you as well?

National Visa Center (Dept of State)Still nothing at NVC - Was approved Nov 5th

Thank you so much, I was starting to worry!

 

Since the process has sped up the NVC step is taking longer than NVC as USCIS is approving people faster than they can deliver. Its averaging about 4-5 weeks at the moment and you're in ur 3rd week so i would say wait till 5 December before contacting them again but your case is nothing out of the ordinary.

National Visa Center (Dept of State)Still nothing at NVC - Was approved Nov 5th

My fiance in Texas got our NOA2 approval in the mail on the 5th November, we obviously used the Dallas service center (SRC) but I called the NVC again today and they still have nothing, does anyone have any ideas?


NatonstanMaleUnited Kingdom2013-11-26 08:24:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)Finally Shipped to NVC!!!

Thanks guys, and yes we applied in early August but I presume the message is just a basic stock message (approved or re-affirmed) because it also gives details for if you've been denied, the email is the same for everyone but obviously just the date is changed depending on the case, I'm so happy things are finally moving, I did call up USCIS yesterday and for the first time was put through to an Immigration officer and I firmly believe it was my call that made them move their butts.


NatonstanMaleUnited Kingdom2013-12-17 11:45:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)Finally Shipped to NVC!!!

My NOA2 was approved on November 5th, and I JUST got an email today to say:

 

On December 16, 2013, we shipped this approved or re-affirmed case to the Department of State for visa processing. For more information, please contact them directly. 

 

I'm so happy after calling NVC every single day for the past month


NatonstanMaleUnited Kingdom2013-12-17 08:00:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)NOA APPROVED NOV, WAITING FOR CASE #

Got my NOA2 letter on Nov 5th from the TSC and I'm phoning the NVC now, still not entered the system but it's been 3 weeks so I'm hoping next week I will hear


NatonstanMaleUnited Kingdom2013-11-25 14:25:00
National Visa Center (Dept of State)Any November approved NOA2 in NVC

I got my hard copy November 5th and still not received by NVC :(

 

 

Is there any one in the NVC process that got I-130 approved in November.

 

I have checked the timelines and have not seen any.

 

Thank you
