That's probably yours. Have fun tracking! ;) Once it arrives in New Delhi, the next day I'd suggest to call up DOS to see if your case has arrived at the embassy/consulate. They'll confirm if it has or not.

Will do that! I have 202-663-1225 as DOS phone number. So, I think I am all set. Thank you. :dance:

That's the number. Then just press 1 for the main menu and then 0 to speak with a visa specialist.

I'm not sure how long it takes for packages to reach New Delhi, but I would think it would get there sometime next week.

I found out my interview Friday afternoon and by 6am Saturday, I had the interview package. But I asked an operator about this, and he said that it could take up to a week to get the interview package after the interview date has been scheduled.

I have seen posts from a few people who were put on "AP" hold after an interview at the local embassy, and they get their actual visa after a few weeks or months. What exactly is an "AP"? The only AP I know of in the US visa processing world is "Advance Parole". It cannot be the same, can it? :unsure: Any ideas? Thank you.

Nope, AP in this case doesn't mean Advance Parole. AP at interviews means Administrative (or Additional) Processing. It means either the officer wants more evidence/documents from the beneficiary, or there was a red flag and they want more time to decide. AP usually happens frequently in African and Middle Eastern countries as there's a higher level of fraud there.
