Update on dad's visa

[trinket 30]

My dad just had his B2 visa interview an hour ago and at the interview they told him that his visa has been approved and he should get an SMS alert in couple of days to let him know when he can pick up his passport. So it was a good news, but then I went to CEACStatTracker website and when I put his information it shows that his case is in Administrative Processing. Does it mean they need to go through the paper works again or is it just that I am checking the VISA status a bit too early since it was only an hour ago that he finished his interview.

Thanks for any help.

Could be! Or They put his case for some further verification. You may give a call to DOS to check the real-time status.

iwaiting, Thanks a lot for DOS suggestion, I totally forgot about it. Anyways, I just called them and they said everything looks good, it's only showing as Administrative Processing because consulate takes 24 to 48 hours to print the visa, but visa has been approved.

Thanks again.

Thanks! Time for grandpa to meet his first grand baby in a month's time.

I also wanted to add that the interview was very smooth for him, he was only asked 5 questions

-How many kids he has

-What both of his kids do

-What does he do

-Which all places in USA he intends to travel

-And how long his daughter has been living in USA

My dad said they didn't ask to see any financial information from him nor any proof of ties to India other than the question regarding my brother who is currently in India, which I kind of found weird, but oh well glad it was smooth for him. So the pregnancy question never even came since they didn't ask why he is traveling to US.
