Hope this ends soon 70+ days and this does not end not sure what options we have! Yes; it sucks man. I know guys with yellow slip are getting cases solved in 50-60 days window.

Since you already have 3 updates; you should be getting clearance sooner than later. Link to comment

f1studentOPT Posted December 14, 2013 Report Share Posted December 14, 2013 So, I finally got my passport and got back to the US. My timeline: Interview: 25th September. First Status Change: 16th October. Second Status Change: 15th November. Clearance email: 20th November. Passport mailed to consulate on Thursday 21st November. Status changed to issued on Friday 6th December. Passport received:11th December. Came back to the US: 12th December. Good luck with your repsective cases.
