Visa ISSUED, but administrative processing?

[mrsdietcoke 1]

Hey everyone,

it's been 1 week since I've been approved at the Montreal consulate. When I check on CEAC website, it says they my case is still under administrative processing.

Here's what it says exactly:

U.S. Department of State

IMMIGRANT VISA APPLICATION

Issued

Immigrant Visa Case Number: XXX Case Creation Date: 23-Jun-2014 Status Updated Date: 08-Dec-2014

Your visa case is currently undergoing necessary administrative processing. This processing can take several weeks. As the officer told you in the 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.

​Has anyone lee been through this? What does it mean?

Strange. Typically issued means it's been printed. I'd take this more as a good sign.

It happens sometimes. They just do some more name checks etc. You were approved and will have the visa but I do not know how long it will take to get to you.

Thank you for both your responses. The status on the website literally JUST changed, and now says this:

Your visa is in final processing. If you have not received it in more than five (5) working days, please go to http://usvisa-info.com/en-CA/selfservice/us_courrier_information to track your courier waybill.

I can now breathe and relax!
