  • B1/B2 visa approved , but CEAC status shows administrative processing

    Hi all,

    My parents had their B1/B2 interview at hyderabad consulate.Very few questions asked and were finally told the golden words " Congrats, Your visa is approved and have a happy journey to US". But when I check the CEAC status, it shows administrative processing. No slips given. Can anyone provide some information on this.


    Thanks in advance.

    When this happened? Can you provide dates or number of days between the interview & online status?

    At times the site doesn't show correct status, And at times, VO takes the passport & keep it for some background verification.

        Just 2 working days to update the status - this is pretty normal.

        Please consider the number of visa applicants they handle every day (hope you have seen the crowd outside embassies)

              First you should not have booked tickets until you get your visa in your hand.

              Second, its normal now a days to take weeks & months, if your application goes in administrative processing.

              Did they kept your passport? If yes, you have high chances for getting the visa. If they reach out to you for more documentation, its a good sign & you should respond asap with required documentation.

                Hi,

                I had my interview for B1/B2 last Wednesday (Sep 4, 2019) in HYD, Ind. The interview went smoothly but the consulate who interviewed me said my Visa Approved and she kept the passport. She did not give me any kind of paper. I checked my status now and it still says administrative processing and its in the same status with no updates for a week now.

                What is this all about? How long I have to wait here. My passport is also with them. Can anyone let me know about this.

                  sammy91 Hi
                  i also had my interview few days back for B2 and they said my visa is approved and I do got a slip which says thank you for your application ! Your passport and visa will be sent to the location selected when you made your application . I don’t know anything about administrative processing , I’ve googled it and it also says my status is pending which I again cross checked with friends and they said if I’ve got the slip thee won’t be any problem but still I’m worried because I’ve booked my tickets . I should get my passport in 2 working days

                      The admin processing takes different amount of time for different applicants - it all depends on what they saw in your profile & who all (may be third parties) need to review that before they can approve your visa.
