USA Visa Status Check

U.S. Embassy Dhaka is excited to introduce a brand new system for checking applicants’ case status online that will significantly simplify and improve the process for all non-immigrant visa applicants. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS NEW SYSTEM FOR VISA STATUS CHECK HAS REPLACED THE OLD SPREADSHEET METHOD AND WILL BE THE ONLY WAY TO CHECK YOUR VISA STATUS. If you need your passport to travel or for any other reason after you submit it to the U.S. Embassy, you may collect the passport from the Consular Section on any work day from 10:00 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.  Please bring the administrative processing letter, DS-160 confirmation page with your CEAC Application ID or your PIN ID, whichever available, and the given “token”.  

For applicants who had an interview ON OR AFTER December 23, 2012:

If your visa application has been refused 221(g) and requires additional administrative processing, you can now check the status of your visa case from the Consular Electronic Application Center (CEAC) page https://ceac.state.gov/CEAC/ at any time. We recommend that you check your case status frequently. To do that, you need to enter your CEAC barcode ID number and the interview location (Dhaka) as requested on the website. The CEAC barcode ID number is located on the upper right hand side on your DS-160 Confirmation page which was returned to you at the interview. After the interview, your case status will show as “Administrative Processing.” You do not need to contact us while your status remains in “Administrative Processing.” If we need any further information from you, we will contact you.
When your case status changes to “Issued,” your visa is ready for pick-up. You may come and collect it from the U.S. Embassy, Gate 2 on any workday between 3:00 to 3:30 p.m. Please bring the DS-160 Confirmation page with your bar code ID number.

If your PIN ID’s last digits are a number higher than 9 (for example, 2012111 111 23), please add two “0” before the last digit like this - 2012111 111 0023).  You may also use your CEAC barcode ID number that is located on the upper right hand side on your DS-160 Confirmation page.
