So my wife recently got the A ok from the interview in Bangkok for her CR1. I was wondering how long it took for you to receive your visa's. They told her 3 to 4 days and so far CEAC status still says "READY" It has not changed since they scheduled the interview. They have at less looked at the file 2 times since the 27th (her interview date) I know its only been 3 days.. Just wondering if anyone wants to share their Post interview timeline. Or if anyone know that process the embassy goes through after the interview. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks

Jeff

1 month.. that is slow. From what I have read the process after is a series of security checks through diffrent databases and them putting together all the paperwork. I read somewhere on here that it also depends on the country. For example some countries have higher fraud rates so they are processed through more checks then the lower fraud countries. Wish you luck on your interview. I just see alot of guides on how to get ready for the interview but not a lot of facts on after the interview. Let me know how it works out.

yes, I know, really it is very slow, but you are right that it will depend upon the country and the case itself. i just based this findings according to my research on other VJ members who were interviewed here in KSA and read their timelines, and sent them personal messages as well.....thank you for the well wishes and I will keep you updated what will happen after my interview.... :)

that is also correct, not much facts post interview, since not all might be getting the same waiting time and results....
