Administrative Processing

[craigofri 6]

So in Rio, my fiancé went on the interview and she was told that she was approved!  Both of us thilled.  Then i went to the CEAC website and it says administrative processing  as the status.  Is this normal?  When i searched on google for the definition for administrative processing it said that they require a little more inf.  I am niw confused.  Is she aporoved or not?

Mine says issued but says going through administrative processing. I think it may mean it’s under the process of being printed…. I’m not 100 percent. I’m curious too why mine says issued but then says that underneath and if approved will be mailed. Like if it’s issued, isn’t it approved?

Yes.  Its strange.  My fiance was congratulated and told 3 weeks or kess fir it to be ready to be picked uo.  But on ceac is says Administrative Processing in big blue letters.  Not the word "Issued". I hope its a glitch

AP is a “catch all “ heading that covers a whole range of different intermediary processing steps with USCIS. Hold tight.. keep breathing .. it will get to Approved Issued etc soon

It is normal for the status to change to administrative processing between the interview and the visa being issued

AP usually is a 3-7 day process depending on the country. Some can sit in AP for over a year. My wifes was about 3 days only. Don't pop the bottles until you see the status change to ISSUED. That's when it's party time. And don't worry, I was just in Rio this past September, and one thing I know, Every day is a party there!!! Loved it!
