K-3 Spousal Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsDuplicate file accepted for i129f

Hello, I got an rfe for i129f on dec23. Im the USC it was for my passport, birth certificate, divorce papers and biographic info which was already sent. At either rate before I got the rfe on the same day I called to get status on the service request that was done on oct 12 and file transferred to Nebraska on oct 23. I was told no info schedule info pass. That same evening I get text about rfe. On dec 26 I called to find out if they could tell me what was needed so I could prepare I was told wait for letter. That evening I checked my mail had the rfe.

Today I get an email my file is in acceptance stage and normally 2 business days will get receipt number. It said it was a duplicate file. I did not file duplicate and hadn't even sent info on rfe yet. When I spoke with tier2 today I was told problems with software and the weather is bad it's really cold. Everything is fine and my i130 is fine also just respond to rfe.

My questions how could she see anything going on with i130 and only gave info for i29f? Why back to acceptance stage? Thanks to any help or comments if happened to you.




Can anyone help me with this?

Ahh nice one, I'll be flying to LAX though! Maybe cross paths at the airport in London though, who knows.

 

Visited Denver before, was very nice, super cold in December!

 

Whoops! Got caught up in the euphoria and got you confused with another forum member going to Denver! Ha!
I've lived in Colorado for 2 years, so am fully prepared for the unpredictable weather!

Brilliant! I'm hoping this to be me Monday/Tuesday.

 

Looks like we may both be flying out on Wednesday!!! Which is ideal as flights go down then ;)

 

I just booked direct to Denver, cost a bit more but can't be bothered with the hassle.

Send me a PM if it looks like you're flying Wednesday too and I'll let you know my seat number!

Just received my visa! Didn't ask for any ID, and spelled my name wrong on the electronic sign thing, but it's here in my hand.

 

Best of luck to you guys, I'll continue to monitor to see how you're all getting on.

Did you opt for courier or will it be delivered to the depot for pick up? It only takes a day to deliver, that's great! Thank you for the updates! :-)

 

Courier. Rather them try and get across Bristol than me!

Ironically after months and months of being apart when I told my Fiancée it might come tomorrow she said not to come out until Wednesday at the earliest as she's working long shifts Monday & Tuesday!

I'm really sorry you guys haven't heard anything yet.

I really hope none of you take this as boasting, as I'm only updating my status as per what we agreed at the beginning of my post.

 

I have received an email from the Embassy today telling me my visa was with the delivery company (DX Group) now.

The link to DX shows delivery of my visa tomorrow, but not heard anything from them directly so not getting carried away just yet.

 

I'll update again tomorrow with any news, really hope you guys get some news soon.

Just about to say, I have the exact same thing!

 

Just this second changed to Issued:

 

Your visa is in final processing. If you have not received it in more than 10 working days, please see the webpage for contact information of the embassy or consulate where you submitted your application.

Nice updates guys.

 

I just got updated to "Administrative Processing" (todays update: 29-Jul-2014) and it reads...

 

"Your visa case is currently undergoing necessary administrative processing. This processing can take several weeks. Please follow any instructions provided by the Consular Officer at the time of your interview. If further information is needed, you will be contacted. If your visa application is approved, it will be processed and mailed/available within two business days."

 

I'm really hoping it's the later!... Just a quick AP then issued please. 2 bus days would be ideal! Good luck everyone else!!

 

Just about to say, I have the exact same thing!

Email reply I received from London.

Nothing really in it, just thought you guys might like to know!

 

Thank you for your email. 

 

The Department of State Bureau of Consular Affairs is currently experiencing technical problems with our visa system which are affecting operations globally.   We recognize that this may cause inconvenience to travelers, and apologize for the delay.

 

Although we have completed adjudication of your visa application, we are unable to take final action on the visa at this time. We hope to have our system fully operational again soon, but currently we do not have a timeline for when this may happen.

 

Again, we recognize and regret the inconvenience this may cause.  We appreciate your patience as we work to resolve this matter.

 

Please be assured that you will be advised once your documents have been processed and passed to the courier service.  The Embassy cannot guarantee that a visa will be issued to any applicant by a specific date. 

 

 

Sincerely,

Just 'borrowed' this from another forum 'We were at the embassy in London yesterday for our visa interview and asked about this. The consulate advised that they are working through the backlog, and it should add no more than a day or two to their usual 3-5 day processing time.'

We may be in Denver sooner rather than later :)

 

Hope so.

 

I was told 10 days anyway when I was accepted. 10 working days for me is tomorrow, so could be true!

That's odd Marshall. I had my interview on the 18th and my case says updated 21st July.
The lady interviewing me did ask when I was travelling and wrote it on my file. She said my visa should be ready by then.

 

I'm thinking positive as the turn around in working days is the same as yours.

You interview was on the 18th, next working day was the 21st.

My interview was on the 16th, next working day was the 17th.

 

Thanks for the update 1K1. I would have added them on Facebook, but my Fiancée is unaware of this issue their systems have had, so don't want to freak her out unnecessarily if my visa comes through soon!

 

Let's hope for new news soon guys!

Nothing for me either :( :( :(

 

Nor me, still says 'Ready' July 17th.

I'll be honest, wasn't expecting anything today.

Reposting this info to your thread concerning not being able to print visas yet.
 

 

Thanks for this Nick!

They truly have no idea how difficult this process is.
Patience is in thin supply right now between waiting for the visa and packing up a house into boxes.
I have a flight booked to Denver in 10 days time but will keep drinking wine until the visa appears :)
Good luck everyone. Let's hope for a change in status tomorrow.


 

I'm also going to Denver! Might see each other getting the wedding licence!

 

I'll keep my fingers crossed that you make your flight.

I haven't yet booked my flight, but do have the wedding booked for August 24th, so can handle a small delay.

 

Best of luck to both of you lads, and as you said, hopefully we'll get some news tomorrow.

Thanks for the replies peeps, makes me feel better I'm not alone!
My Case creation date and status update date both read July 17th, which is a day after my interview, so at least something has happened!

 

As for the 'exercise some patience' response you received, if only they really knew how long and difficult this K Visa process is.

 

Good idea keeping this thread going, we could be a visa support group!

Hi Guys and Gals

 

I had my K1 Visa interview on Wednesday 16th July and was accepted.

However, it is now Friday 25th July and my CEAC status is still set to 'Ready'. Isn't it supposed to have changed to 'Issued' by now?

 

Anyone else had this "issue"?

 

This is a little disconcerting as I'm really hoping to travel out soon!

 

Thanks
