Had my interview last Wednesday, got passport back yesterday (Tuesday).

 

So, six days total.

 

Or three working days because Monday was a bank holiday.

 

Got an email from the Embassy saying my passport had been dispatched on the Friday, 2 (working) days after the interview.

Remember its Business days .. so Friday, Monday, Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday those are the days you will expect it back as for the CEAC tracker wont show any tracking passport info that is why you have to put your mobile number when booking your delivery

@Mattf, @NasUK
In case it helps: I had my final interview at the US embassy in London on June 8th in the morning, and just received my passport with the visa today June 15th.

In the meantime the CEAC website showed:
- "Ready" for interview all the way until June 13th
- "Administrative processing" in the morning of June 13th
- "Issued" in the afternoon of June 13th
- Received an email from the courier on June 14th saying it will be delivered the next day
- Then received the package + passport with visa on June 15th.

So all in all, it took a week (Thursday to Thursday) to receive the passport back after the interview (5 business working days, not incl. the day of the interview itself).

Keep us posted, I'm a week behind you (interview 17th July) so will be good to know how long it takes for you to get yours back. We're hoping to fly out 2 weeks later but have booked flexible flights just in case!

Replying on his/her behalf as it seems NasUK hasn't seen this - s/he had the interview on the Monday and the passport back Thursday, so only 3 days. 

 

My interview was yesterday lunchtime, status has already changed to 'Administrative Processing' at 8am this morning, and I'm hoping I'll have it back by the weekend - will update when I do.

Update: less than 24 hours after interview, status now says 'issued'. So hopefully the passport will be delivered back on Thursday, exactly the same timing as @NasUK. Will update again when received.

[appleblossom 1,376]

Further update: passports received this morning, so again a Monday interview and Thursday visa delivery, same as NasUK. Received in plenty of time for our planned flight in 10 days. 

 

It's all been incredibly quick, thought we'd be waiting much longer for our visas but London is on fire at the mo! 

 

Good luck to anybody still waiting.
