yes I know its too early to get paranoid... but we were approved on 11/04/2013 this past monday but when I check on ceac it says admin processing.. now I called to see to make sure there wasnt a mistake made and the rep said that usually admin processing for approved apps are put in admin until visa printed... long story short.. just curious if anyone know how long til ceac status changes to issued? just an estimation ...thanks all!
