[Faithaaliyah 0]

Hello.. Got my tourist visa approved in abu dhabi usa embassy on june 10, 2015. The consular officer told me that she is approving my visa and gave me white paper, saying congratulations on the approval of your visa. She also said that my passport will be delivered to me after 2 working days. It has been almost 5 working days since my interview. I just want to ask if any of you has the same status. I had contacted the Empost courier yesterday and today they said they have not receive my passport from the us consular.

Anyone that has had an interview for any U.S. Visa after June 9th will have delays they are not able to print the visas currently in any country, make passports, or issue crbas .
