H1B Visa approved but the visa status show administrative processing

USA H1B Visa
1

Hi

I want to share my experience.I attended the Visa Interview on 28-Oct-15 and the consular had said the visa is approved and further informed, that will receive an email from consulate when to pick the passport. I waited for two days and checked the DS-160 it shows Administrative Processing. Will they ask for again any documentation?

So, can someone please tell me how many days it may take for receiving my passport? or can share their recent experiences.

Thank you,

Consulate:Chennai

Visa:H1B

There is no set processing time and can take few weeks to several months. As the officer mentioned its approved, its quite possible that the delay is just at their end and it will be approved within few days/weeks.

Thank you,

I am in the same boat too! Attended interview today (05-Nov) and is showing as AP in ceac. VO had actually congratulated and confirmed verbally that my visa is approved. Hope the status change by tomorrow at least!

How long did you have to wait? I’m on the same boat. CO approved my visa but it’s been 3weeks now and my case is still under AP.
