They are very strict to the people joining the group. You have to mention that you are also under AP process in the comment box when you are sending the request. What's your QQ name? I can let the admin not reject you again this time. Felicia

Yes, the first one I got is the same. However the second time that my husband sent an email query about the update so we can plan our relocation. The Consulate replied a little different with "We understand that you want to go to the U.S. as soon as possible and a note has been made in our system to ensure such processing should be followed-up in a timely manner. Once the administrative processing is complete, we will immediately inform you of the result. We appreciate your patience and during this time." Anyway, the answer is always the same-Keep waiting. Also, if you start to get your status update frequently three days in a row that means your final approval is super close. That's what i have been told and how i see my case got approved in the end.

Thanks Summerlove. When is your recent update? Are you a member of QQ group 271182035? This group is all for people who's waiting for the final approval due to CCP issue. I joined the group earlier this month and we shared our status update. Recently there are a lot of people got P5 Final Approval. Today we have 5, and last Friday we have two. A lot of them have their interviews in April this year. I think it's a good group that we can share our feeling during the waiting period and share the process experience. Feel free to join it if you are interested in. Also I believe your is on the way as well! Best Wish to you! Felicia

Thanks for the answers. I plan to stay to work and wait for another two months, and he will fly back to US first. Wish the visa will be issues by that time. Thanks a lot! Felicia I am so happy to finally receive the email from Consulate today that I got my P5 final approval. My husband and I plan to send the photo and passport tomorrow. Right after i finished the interview on Apr 20th 2015 and submitted the additonal information about CCP on Apr 27th 2015, i checked the status in CEAC almost everyday (painful experience), so far it had update on 4/27, 5/18, 6/18, 6/29, 7/2, 7/8,7/9, 7/10. And today 7/13 we received the email. During the period, we sent two emails to chase Consulate, and we received the email one day after that, accordingly the CEAC status got updated as well. Btw, how long does it usually to get visa after we send the passport through citic bank? We want to plan my resignation and hopefully we can make it to US for her mom's birthday. Thanks again, Felicia

Thanks warpedbored, Doug and Summerlove for the information. Now I am mentally prepared for another 2 months. Btw, My husband and I decide to go back to US first using my B1/B2 visa that I got earlier this year with 10 years validity. He could start work right away in US, but I have to wait for the extension (if they would like to extend the job start date for me). But I heard I might be asked by the customer about my intention to stay in US since I've started my immigrant visa CR1 process but I will enter US with Non-Immigrant B1/B2 visa. Do you know if I should prepare some documents to convince customer that I intend to leave within 6 months? Thank you again. Felicia

Hey Doug, thank for sharing all of the information. It is very helpful. Do you know how long it usually takes to wait for the CCP issue? I started CR-1 visa in the end of Jan this year, we did the interview in Guangzhou in April. But I didn't receive the paper indicating that i got "prelimary approval". They only gave me the piece of paper asking for additional information on education and CCP. I sent the scanned PDF file to them few days after the interview. So far i have been waiting about 8 weeks, and my job in US is supposed to start on July 20th (company gobal transfer). My husband helped to query them and even asked for help from senate. CEAC Status update showed June-18-2015, saying my visa case in undergoing necessary administrative processing. I am super worried here. I think i won't be able to make the date to go to US in July.
