Moved from IR-1/CR-1 Progress Reports to Asia: South regional forum; topic is Pakistan specific.

No there is no possibility to get your visa same day. If you are approved they will issue your visa and it will be available at the courier generally by 2 weeks (10 business days) after the interview. You should NOT make plans to travel or make travel arrangements until you have the visa in hand. AP (administrative processing) is always a possibility at Islamabad, and there have been a few times where even people who were told they were approved at the interview still ended up in AP. Theoretically you could fly the same day you get your visa.

I'm not an october filer but I have seen a lot of people from october who have been approved (not quite all) and some from November/December from your centre.
If you haven't already, check out the visajourney timelines. You can filter it by your service centre and look at others in your same situation to guage how it's going. Obviously it will only give you those on the forum but it may help you see where things are at. You're at California (CSC) so you have gone to the centre which is historically the quickest.
