H1b Drop Box - CEAC - Administrative Processing US VISA DOCS - Received from Consular Section

[stampwithgrace]

I just saw a status update on the US Visa Docs site - Passport has been received from the consular section, and is currently being processed for delivery

But the CEAC still shows Administrative Processing. 

I had a dropbox submission with a prior DUI. I have recived several stampings after the DUI so its not new to the consulate. 

Does this mean they are going to call me for a interview ?

I want to use the time in between to prepare as I have to fly back asap. 

Please advice. This is with the Mumbai consulate.

As suspected it was a call for a interview.

Hey , 

I am in same boat as you in. Exactly same things happened with me. Going for an interview next week (Mumbai). My old stamping was valid till Sept 2018 but now after dropbox refusal they cancelled it and lable on old stamp says "Cancelled without prejudice" . Does you old visa stamping also got cancelled like me ?

[stampwithgrace]

No. I simply got my passport back with a call for a in person interview. Then after the interview I got the visa approved. Alhough my passport is still to be delivered. Just attend the interview it will be fine. Most change in employment seem to be getting calls for a in person interview.
