Either you will get approved in a week or so, or they might call you for fingerprints again and later approve (watch out for emails from consulate) Nothing to panic Link to comment
Rameshwar Rao Posted December 25, 2017 Report Share Posted December 25, 2017 Personal experience with at New Delhi consulate December, 2017, Dropbox and then called for Interview at the Consulate, please plan for approx. 1 week to get the update from the day of submitting documents, and if called for anything further, add another week. To summarize, please allow yourself 2-3 weeks of time. Also consider that the last week of December is holiday season so further delay could be added but important is to stay positive and enjoy your vacations at home. Link to comment
naveen145903 Posted December 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 Hi, i checked the status today and in the https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker site it shows last updated date as 27th december and status as "Issued". I received the following email from usatraveldocs.com Your document(s) have been collected from the US Embassy/Consulate The passport number being returned is <PassPort Number>. You have chosen to have your documents delivered to the following location: Hyderabad, 1-8-384/385 Ground Floor, Gowra Grand, S.P.Road,, Hyderabad, 500003. Can i go and collect the passport. Would it mean Visa is approved or they are going to call for interview/finger print. Please let me know if anyone received similar email. Link to comment
kumar_y Posted December 28, 2017 Report Share Posted December 28, 2017 Yes you can go and collect the passport. Do remember that passport collecting hours differ if I remember correctly it's 1400 to 1500 Link to comment
