Finally after a long wait of 4 months 11 days, the administrative processing on my case completed on Oct 11.

I got notification from the embassy to drop off my passport for visa issuance. I dropped it off on Oct 16 and collected it today.

As it was DCF in our case, the entire process was very fast. We had our first interview on March 22 & I received the visa on Oct 23 so exactly 7 months in total. The only thing that tested our patience was AP. Believe me guys if your case is in AP as well for a long time, all you need to show is patience, keep yourself busy in work, sports etc and some day your wait would be over.

A big thank you to all VJ members. Indeed, I got a lot of help from this wonderful forum.

Congrats!

Question - Why did you get put into AP anyways? Did they give any specific reason? I have an upcoming interview as well and worried about the same! Also, do you know if being on a visit visa in the UAE at the time of the interview would raise questions? I got laid off a while back and have not landed a job yet. Might have to be in the country on a Visit visa instead of nothing clicks till the interview!
