romamehta87 Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 Hi, This is follow up of my previous post about H1-B visa getting approved in Vancouver, Canada on 21 March. My interview went great and the officer told me that my visa is approved and I will get my passport back in 3-5 business days. Today morning when I checked my status online, it shows "Administrative Processing" - Your visa case is currently undergoing necessary administrative processing. This processing can take several weeks, or longer. As explained on the day of your interview, if further information is needed, you will be contacted. If your visa application is approved when administrative processing is finished, you will receive notification to collect the passport with the visa from the Loomis branch you selected when you booked your appointment. I am not sure why this status appeared even after my visa was approved. Can anyone please advice as to what should I do now? The embassy is not picking up any calls. I will personally go and visit them this afternoon, not sure if they would have any answers. I am confused. Link to comment

rahul412 Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 Printing your visa is also considered as Admin Process. Just wait, it will update the status once your visa is printed. Link to comment
h4visa1 Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 It will be in that state until your visa is stamped in the passport and then it changes to "Visa Issued". If it still stays in AP state after 5 days, that's when you should start worrying. Take it easy now. Link to comment
