Don't worry, we got approved yesterday too. And our status is AP today. It will change to issued in 2-3 working days.

Administrative Processing is normal.  However, it could last a few days, weeks or months.

No.  All cases go through some form of AP before the status changes to "Issued".  In some countries it takes longer than others.  Unfortunately, there isn't much you can do at this point except wait it out.  It might be a few days or it might be months.......no one can know.

Going through AP is part of the process. It’s not a different status from approved. They’re just working on your case and you should get a status update in a couple of days. Everyone goes through AP.

Almost everyone goes through Administrative Processing, especially men from certain countries. Missileman is correct; It can be just days or sadly, months. Let s hope it s only days. Best of luck and bon Courage!
