Changing to administrative processing

[AjT1 13]

Just wondering if this is normal... 

 

I had my interview on Friday, October 18th, and I was approved. I've checked the CEAC website today and my case has been updated today, October 21st, but it still says that it's ready for interview. Is this normal? I though the next update would say something about administrative processing or something?

Ryan interviewed on a Friday.
Ryan’s case was updated on Friday and stayed at “ready” until Monday mid morning. 
It than changed to “Administrative Processing” until Tuesday at the end of day. 
Tuesday night it said “Issued” and Ryan had his Visa in hand Thursday. 
 

Yes, normal but obviously every case is different and yours may vary a bit from ours when going through each step.

Also I might add that I tell you this in US time as I kept checking his case during the week.

The date on the status tracker is updated by you checking it. Given that it was Friday you interview, I'd see how things go today, or possibly tomorrow.

 

Mine went:

 

2019-10-15 - Interview.
2019-10-16 at 08:04 - Status changed to 'Administrative Processing'.
2019-10-16 at 14:00 - Status changed to 'Issued'.
2019-10-17 at 14:35 - Received email with a tracking number and saying the passport with the visa was dispatched.
2019-10-18 - Called DX Couriers as I was in a rural area and the status of the tracking number said: "Your item has been sent via 3rd party. Please contact your service provider." - They told me they sent it via Royal Mail Special Delivery that morning. It took a while to register but at 15:40 it was in the South Midlands Mail Centre.
2019-10-19 at 10:04 - Received the delivery.

Thanks for the information! It's changed to administrative processing now. So I'm happy that they haven't forgotten about it! Haha

It’ll probably be issued today, maybe tomorrow. We’re very lucky that AP for UK nationals is normally quick.

Yeah, it's just been issued! I guess I'll have my passport back by the end of the week.
