My spouse's interview was on 12/7/2020 at the Mumbai Consulate. The interview went smooth and we received a visa approval letter. All documents are in order and income is definitely not an issue as it is more than 5x the minimum requirement for household size. The approval letter states that the passport will be available in 3-5 business days. However, it has been 9 business days and when we check the status on CEAC and it shows as "Ready" even though our interview already occured. The "case last updated" date has updated 3 times since our interview with most recent being 12/18/2020. Does anyone know what this means and how long it will take for us to get passport back with visa stamp? I don't think this is common and worried about denial even after they approved. Please help!

It took my wifes a week to get issued back pre-covid, so I wouldn't worry too much. Our CEAC went from "Ready" to "Administrative Processing", back to "Ready", then finally to "issued", all with multiple updates. I am sure once you see "Issued" in the CEAC your passport will be ready for pickup the next day, or you will get tracking information if you used a courier service, depends on what you set-up for passport delivery. Drove me crazy for a week after approval with all the bouncing around it did, but it did show up.

Here on a K1? Need married and a Certificate in hand within a few hours? I'm here to help. Come to Vegas and I'll marry you Vegas style!!   Visa Journey members are always FREE for my services. I know the costs involved in this whole game of immigration, and if I can save you some money I will!
