Hello VO,

Please I am having what appear to be an unusual situation with my case.
My interview was August 28th, the questions were not complicated and after the interview, I was told "your visa is approved, you will receive a text message next week on how to pick your visa" he gave me a visa collection paper and circled the address where to pick the visa.
During the interview, he asked me basic questions like
1. My fiancé information, what he did for a living
2. How we met
3. How long he's been divorced (2 years), how many kids he had in the previous marriage and age (2 kids, 6 and 7).
4. if I plan to go to school...I replied, not full time, start a family and do part time later

CEAC website: status went from ready after the interview to AP...after a week and half, it changed to ready again...and next day AP until today
CGI federal site: status went from "visa with embassy" for about a week or more, to "document collection information" for the past 2 weeks
ustraveldocs site: status went from "visa with embassy" for over a week and after that, it just says "there is no status update for the passport number you have entered"

the strange part was:
22nd September Tuesday; I missed a call from the embassy, I called back and couldn't talk to a VO, I was asked by the front desk rep to send an email. I still don't know why they called, I sent an email and the reply I got on the 23rd was "we can't find a record of this case in our system" Lol! I replied again with all the information and received a response with the usual info that goes " you case is in AP, sometimes it take longer than...."

I have heard stories of our status is AP but people went and saw/picked-up the visa...I have called and emailed the collection center, but they just seem to type stuff into computer, probably in the same sites I use and tell me no status, and refer me to the ceac website.

Any advice, experience will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your reply,

the interview was not long and there were no complicated questions at all
1. how we met
2. his basic information
3. what does he do for a living
4. do I plan to go to school when I get there, to this I answered yes, but maybe later, that we plan to start a family
5. since he's been divorced, how long he's been divorced...2 years
6. how many kids he has...2

those were mostly the questions.

he then told me "your visa is approved, you'll receive a text message next week on when to come pick your passport/visa". he then gave me a paper where he circled the address to pick the visa. the paper is white and contains information about visa collection only.

Hi,

My interview for K-1 visa to join my fiancé was 28th August
1. did anyone else interview at the same date? did they get the visa yet?
1. My status went from "ready"--then interview--"AP"--"ready" again--now "AP" again. and my I received a call from the embassy 22nd Tuesday, I called back and couldn't talk to any VO. I was told to send them an email. could it be that the visa may be ready?
3. has anyone ever gotten a visa while their case still shows "AP"?
