Hi all,

I'm on my O1-b Journey since starting the paperwork in October, today my CEAC status has changed to "Issued", I'm really happy to be out of Adminitative Processing, but is this 100%?

I am meant start work on the 28th Febuary, should I be booking flights and telling my employer now? Or wait until I have it in hand?

All seems to be good to be true right now

Thanks

Dave

Always wait until you have the visa firmly in hand.

Issued is the last status.

I wouldn't book until the passport is physically in hand. This likely won't be very long now.

The status could always change back if something crops up.

Just got this....

"Your item has been received by DX and will be scheduled for delivery on the date below

Date: 08/02/2017"


The language will be scheduled for delivery is a little disconcerting but I assume that's normal.

Some guy in a delivery truck picked it up. He's a grunt. He's not going to be the same guy who schedules delivery. Yah... it's normal.
