CEAC status administrative Processing for H1B Dropbox

USA H1B Visa
1

Hello All,

I was eligible for IWP Dropbox, so i did a dropbox submission on November 16th at chennai Consulate.

Tracked the status in CEAC website and ustravekdocs it says “18th-Nov : Ready”, “19-Nov : Administrative Processing” passport tracking says “Passport is still with embassy/consulate”

Is this “administrative Processing” cycle part of the visa approval ?

I am worried as the status shows as “administrative Processing” the second day after my documents are received in Consulate.

please let me know if anybody has faced similar situation

Thanks,

Hi @ 2020h1b what was your status before ready ? Did u get into administrative processing in CEAC website ?

It changed to “Administrative Processing”

Ours changed to “issued”. When do you think the passport will be ready for pickup?

Guys “Administrative Procesing” is part of the routine cycle once your case is open/created, so dont worry about admin processing. It will be changed to Issued in a while.

I got mine changed to “Issued” state the next day. Good luck to all
