What does it mean when a Visa officer approved my visa and stated I can pick up my passport within 4 days, but when I checked my visa status on the same day of interview I find my application is under "Administrative processing"?
Visa Approved: Why Is My Status "Administrative Processing"?
When a visa officer approves your visa and mentions that you can pick up your passport within a specific time, but the status shows ""Administrative Processing,"" it typically means:
1. Routine Security Checks: Most approved visas go through final background or security checks, which are part of standard processing.
2. Document Verification: The consulate may be verifying documents or information provided during your application.
3. System Updates: The status may not have been updated yet due to system delays, and it could change to ""Issued"" soon.
4. Additional Review: In rare cases, further review might be required even after approval, but this is usually resolved within a few days.
It’s advisable to wait a few days and check your status again. If it remains under ""Administrative Processing"" beyond the normal timeframe, contact the embassy or consulate for clarification.
