administrative processing VISA Approved now CEAC states in Administrative Processing

[BoyKwe 0]

Hello everyone, hope this week is going well for all of us here. I have a quick question in regards to the process time after an interview.

My fiancé had her interview in Accra on the 22nd of this month, the visa was approved and given a date to pick up at DHL.

I checked this morning and it states administrative processing on the CEAC status page. Is this normal?

I'm just curious to know if this means something else other than processing the visa for issue. All comments are welcome

Everyone goes through some form of AP. Can be 1-2 days or 6+ months. It's normal.

It can be definately; but you getting an approval and even date for visa pickup/delivery is a good thing.

It goes through some for of Admin Processing whiles passport is prepared for Visa Stamp. Usually, takes 1-3 days for normal processing. It should change to Issued by tomorrow or Wednesday unless of course, they found something that requires further review of the whole application.

I wouldn't worry too much about what the online status says. AP is normal unless you know you've been denied. Go to DHL on the day the embassy told you to and your visa should be ready.

What if u have been in AP for 2 months and was call by the embassy to submit ur passport and other supporting docs to DHL.  And ur visa status changed to issued,  when can u go to DHL office to pick up ur passport
