Interview Approved. When will Passport w/ VISA come?

[glapsides 18]

My interview was on May 24th.

Was orally approved.

The next day it went to AR (application received) from READY on the 25th of May.

Today is June 10th, and it is still in AR (application received) with last update date as 25th of May.

 

Any ideas guys? Similar experiences?

Did they keep your passport?

Seems you are in AP. 

 

You might want to call Embassy and see what is the scoop?

Yes, they kept the passport and gave oral apprival. I just don't have any idea when they will send passport. The consular officer said 10 business days. Today was 11th business day.

That's good news. I have no idea about Pak time frame for passport return. Why not contact the embassy and ask or wait? Contacting Embassy won't hurt

I did send 1 email a week ago and there was no response. And they do not accept phone calls for any type of inquiry. Just email.

I'm having the same problem, my Fiance was told that his visa is approved, and now its been 3 weeks and the case is in AP! i contacted the embassy and they told that its in AP which was no help

[old-fella 109]

ap is a black hole. It can take 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 1 year... no one has any idea about it. AP is when they are doing background checks. You can't do anything to expedite. Just simply wait and pray

Did they also give him oral approval on the day of interview and say "You'll get your passport in 10 business days"?
