Folks,

My wife and I had our interview on 8/24 in Delhi. The officer said we were approved and to expect the passport with visa in the mail within 5 days. Its now been a week and we haven't gotten anything. I've read cases of some people being able to pick up the passport the same day from the VFS.

Should I be getting as paranoid and nervous as I am right now?

hye nothing to worry some time it can take from 4-10 days to receive visa, u can also call the embassy and check with them and see what they say. or check with the VFS and see if they have ur visa ready to deliver, good luck, abid

Our time line for CR1 visa took only 5 months and 1 week or 156 days; from the filing the I-130 on the 03-12-2009 to Approval of NOA2 on the 05/13/2009, then Interview on the 08/18/2009 at Manila, Philippines. We had a daughter on the 11-12-2010 named AISHA JOY means HAPPY LIFE.a1_opt-1.jpga2_opt-1.jpga3_opt-1.jpg

You can collect the visa envelope and the passport at the same day at Mumbai consulate. You have to wait to get that for New Delhi consulate. Usually it takes 7 to 10 business days.. If it takes longer than that, definately call the consulate or ask the VFS office person..

You shouldn't get paranoid, it is typical that not everyone gets their passport always during the same time frame as some other person did.

BUT...there was a case just before yours that was approved and the persons husband called the embassy everyday over a week. The Embassy kept saying they sent it to VFS and the VFS kept saying they hadn't gotten it yet. Eventually he, the husband got to talk to an American at the Embassy and they got it straightened out. They said that apprarently they had 'forgotten' to send it out and his wife finally received her passport with the visa stamp.
