Current Processing Times AP-Ready-AP-Issued

[gildingstudio]

Hi...Is anyone aware of any extraordinary situations right now in Guangzhou that may be affecting Wait Times for K1 Visa Issuance? I know that each case is different but after my fiance was told that she was approved during her interview her visa was held up in Admin Processing for a month as shown on the CEAC site. It turned to Ready over a week ago but hasn't changed. I emailed them and was told that computer issues had slowed down the process but my fiance is acquainted with others who interviewed later than her and they have already received their visas so our concern is growing. Plus I really can't find any good information on what 'Ready' really means for those who already interviewed.

 

Does anyone have any insight? Thank you.

I don't think you will get any answers regarding the inner workings of the consulate from anyone.

 

The only AP delays that are common posted about are delays for paperwork such as medical reports, foreign police reports, and for waivers like CCP waivers.

Thank you. When I emailed the Consulate the other day they responded that they had computer system issues that were affecting the processing of visas. So I was just wondering if anyone else encountered a slowness because of this and whether there was any posted information about systems issues and its resolution. Maybe I didn't phrase my concern right.

It has happened and been reported before, sometimes printing problems printing the visas, or a hold up for supplies like blank visa stamps.

 

If they say a computer issue caused a delay, I suspect should be a short delay.
