Saw CEAE number in processed application list pdf on 14th Sep and submitted passport to visa centre
They sent my passport back with another yellow letter for admin processing 221g.

Received stamped Passports today

Dear All,

Finally my case is processed after exactly 85 days.

I got a call from Kol consulate on 20Th Sept to submit my passport. As I am from Mumbai, took time to send passport and then got SMS and mails from Kol consulate on Monday(26th Sept) that I can collect the passports on the counter or they will courier to mumbai. Today I receved my passports with stamped Visas. Also, I didn't see my barcode in PDF file (http://photos.state.gov/libraries/ko...sing092211.pdf)
Please find the below details:
Visa Type: L1A
Interview Date: 27-Jun-2011
Slip: PINK
Informed me to submit passports: 20-Sep-2011
Submitted passports: 23-Sep-2011
Received Passports: 26-Sep-2011

All these 85 days were horrible but still made 2 calls to Kol consulate, I never called DOS. Looks like patience is the key.
All the very best to all who are still waiting.

Thanks,
Farajana.

Email Recieved

I just recieved an email from the VFS chennai saying - My passport will be couriered to me today at 4pm. But the status on the PDF still showing as "Pending Processing". Tried calling both VFS and Consulate - They say I will have to wait until I recieve my passport to know the outcome.

Can anyone tell me the number to call to find the status.

I am really nervous. Will update once I recieve the passport.

Dont worry man...have u got mail to collect from counter 4pm - 5 pm..then u can collect it..
if not collected it would be automtaically couriered to ur address...status will be updated only once after 4 PM..pbly next day of mail only

[Mani24in]

Thank Vijaran,

Do you mean to say that the status is changed only after the mails are dispatched.

They did ask me to collect it from VFS between 4-5 but I cannot make it as I am in Pune.

I think I will have to wait for two days to know the outcome.

The hellish wait is over

Finally I got to see what I wanted to see for past 3024000 secs (35 days x 24hrs x 60min x 60 sec). The status now shows "ISSUED". Will update once I recieve the passport.

All the best to all waiting to see the *****al status. I am sure all of you will get to see it soon and will pray for all of you when I am in Shirdi this Saturday - Oct 1st.
