VISA approved

[singhz905 3]

Hello,

I went for my CR1 Interview today. Consular told me that your visa has been granted. He gave me 1 yellow paper saying your visa is granted and Another one for $165 fee.

I asked him before leaving is my visa really granted and he told me yes and told me that I'll be notified through SMS on my cell number.

But when i check my status online on https://ceac.state.govit says

Your visa case is currently undergoing necessary administrative processing. This processing can take several weeks. Please follow any instructions provided by the Consular Officer at the time of your interview. If further information is needed, you will be contacted. If your visa application is approved, it will be processed and mailed/available within two business days. Under the U.S. Immigration and Nationality Act, Immigrant Visas for "Diversity Visas" cannot be issued after September 30th of the year in which you were selected to apply for a Diversity Visa. For example, entrants into the Diversity Visa Program in Fall of 2011 were selected for Diversity Visa 2012 Program, and selectees MUST apply and receive their visa prior to September 30, 2012 otherwise they lose eligibility to receive a Diversity Immigrant Visa, regardless of additional administrative processing. In addition, please note that some immigrant visas may not be able to be issued if the annual numerical limit for that category has been reached.

Should I be scared of Administrative Processing? Oh yes and It does say that status is updated 1/12/2015

Congrats!Yes, your visa is granted. you got yellow sheet which says your visa has approved so it is. Embassy generally take three days to one week time to get ready with all your documents so that they will give one packet to you with your passport which you have to carry with you to U.S.(you are not allowed to open the packet, you have to hand over at immigration counter after port entry)

Same was in my case ,after visa approval and getting yellow sheet of visa approval my case was on admin process and after five days i got massage in my e-mail id that your passport is ready to pick and visa stamp was on passport and i got one yellow packet contains papers of all my case history.

So don't worry your visa is approved this admin process is just some more days time which Embassy needs to arrange the papers of your case.
