Interview 6/15, changed to AP today, thank God! By the way- I believe it's not the embassies that are taking their time changing to AP.. It's DOS! But they're finishing the 30,000 left today, hopefully. We were one of them, of course! Says ~2 business days to get if no docs need to be sent! Good luck toy everyone!

Our was changed to AP today as well .. I'm confused now because they told us we were approved at the interview no docs were missing. Is this normal!?

Hey Guys i also saw status changed to Admin processing today......Interview was 9th june.....Hope In SHa Allah it will soon change to Issued....!!!

I am SO angry about this. I have been waiting over 20 months to be with my family since I started this process. I was banking on getting my visa within the 2 weeks. Nope, I have to be out of my apartm

FINALLY!!! My wife received her visa today.

I'm not sure if it's the same process with the others, but in our case, my wife was notified thru text and email (from ustraveldocs) and the courier service (2GO for Philippines) that her passport is ready for pick-up. Door-to-door is available, but we just opted for pick-up. The email from ustraveldocs provided her the airway bill number. So, aside from the tools available online, you may want to check your emails as well.

You're on next! Cheers!
