I went to hyderabad embassy, for a re-interview after 221g and visa is approved, however i still didn't receive my passport after 7 days, is that something unusual?

HI - I don't think that is normal, once ur visa is approved turn around time is 2 - 3 days. Did u check the status of ur passport at the consulate website? Try reaching out to the consular section of the embassy regarding this.

Hi Pavan,

I am from Delhi and since the new system rolled out (USTraveldocs) I think it is up to the applicant to pick up the passport after stamping from selected pick up location (mine was BEP case so I am assuming if delivery was possible company would have it delivered to their office).

You can drop a mail to passportstatus@ustraveldocs.com with your passport number ONLY in subject as well as body of email. You will get status email in 10-20 seconds. If it is "Ready for pick up" then collect it from OFC.

Also you can use your DS160 confirmation number/application ID to track your case status at https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx.

USTraveldocs has an option of online chat as well from within the website as well as through skype (ustraveldocs-india).

Reach out to them and hopefully you will get your passport soon.

In US Counsulate Website, it says ISSUED. That means its in the process of stamping right?

Since mine is a re-interview and they had vfs at that time, i guess my passport will be handed over to VFS for delivery not ustraveldocs.

It took almost 8 months for me from first visa interview to re-interview
