Congratulations! :dance: :dance: :dance: :dance:

I would take the word of the CO who said "you are approved and you will receive your visa in 7 - 10days" over the ceac website. You can wait within the time frame given you. If you don't receive your visa then, then you call or email the embassy to enquire.

Don't fret just yet. Congrats again!

Iron Sharpen Iron!

AP is common for MENA countries from what I have seen. Your situation is normal. If you get the passport back in that short of time you will be lucky. If not you wont know and cant find out how long AP will take. Frustrating part of the process.

However this goes please report so that it will serve to help others.

I understand what happened and what was said. Unfortunatly I have seen cases here on V J where exactly this occured only to have the member post that the case went to AP AFTER the COs approval just as yours was.

No one here including me can tell you the exact status of your visa. I hope the passport comes back in the 7 to 10 days. If not all you can do is sit back and wait.
