Congrats! Which visa category? 
 

Usually you’ll need to resubmit docs/go for another interview/medical before visa issuance, so it will depend on what is required. Mumbai will be in touch to tell you. AP is also still possible, so that could add time too. As a very rough guess, anywhere between 3 months and a year.

I’d assumed as much. It’s approved now though so you just need to wait for new medical/interview/document instructions from the consulate.

Still too early I'd say, Mumbai is 3 months wait for an interview letter for 'normal' IR5 cases, and you've got to add on time for your case to be updated/sent back to be scheduled for interview.

 

I don't understand what you mean by 'escalate to post' I'm afraid.

It might mean "send everything to the consulate for the next steps."

Escalate to post 

when I send email about my i601 approval and wait all most 3 weeks not received instruction letter so they put my message to escalate . My ir5 interview was done before at that time ask me for waiver.

I'd get updated I-864 as well as medical exam as it's been three years.

Having had an interview already won’t help you jump ahead of everybody in line waiting. 
 

As @milimelo has said, use the time whilst you’re waiting to get everything up to date.
