AKUS2006 Posted December 13, 2019 Report Share Posted December 13, 2019 Details below for Interview : Location : Kolkata Fingerprinting : Dec 11th Visa Interview Date : Dec 12th Been in US since 2006 and working as full-time in one of the oldest company of USA since last 5 years. Went for stamping after 7 years. Interview lasted 5 min and Visa Officer said Visa is approved and kept our passports (mine & wife's - H4). Gave me a white sheet stating "Congratulations your US Non-Immigrant Visa to visit the United States has been approved!" followed by some details. When I got home and checked the case status on CEAC it read - "Your visa case is currently undergoing necessary administrative processing. This processing can take several weeks. Please follow any instructions provided by the Consular Officer at the time of your interview. If further information is needed, you will be contacted. If your visa application is approved, it will be processed and mailed/available within two business days." As of now status is still the same. Anyone else experienced this - even after VO said Visa is approved and kept passports? If so what is time line for Visa approval? Any cause for worry? Quote Link to comment
xTDx Posted December 13, 2019 Report Share Posted December 13, 2019 You have to wait for a few days. All applications show up as AP on CEAC for 1-5 business days. After 5 business days, you should contact the consulate if you haven't received any response or an official communication about 221g AP. Quote Link to comment

Give yourself at least till Dec 18th and then check. Quote Link to comment
gopalakrishnach Posted December 13, 2019 Report Share Posted December 13, 2019 This is normal process anywhere in the world. After interview for few hours the status will say administrative processing even VO says approved. Just hang on wait... Quote Link to comment
