Approved at Bangkok for CR-1 on 10/7. CEAC portal is still showing 'Ready' today(10/14). I have tried emailing and calling but no response. Passport was taken at the interview and officer verbally said I was approved. I was hoping to have my passport back by now.

I have noticed that the 'Last updated' date keeps changing each day, but the status doesn't. It makes me wonder what is being updated.

Perfectly normal, it says 10 business days (and don’t forget yesterday was a holiday) so today is only the 4th day, you’re just expecting it too soon. https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Supplements/Supplements_by_Post/BNK-Bangkok.html

Received this email today after inquiring. Status is still showing Ready on CEAC portal though. 

 

Every single case goes through admin processing, it's just final checks before your visa is issued.

 

More in depth AP can take months, but hopefully yours is the standard and status will change to approved soon. Good luck.

How do I know which one mine is? More in depth vs. standard. It's only been 5 business days after the interview though, but I am trying to get a better understanding on the whole process.
