Passport return timeline

[Seanabyyc95 0]

Hello, I had an immigrant visa interview on Sept 12th and was advised I was approved, and processing would take 5-7 business days. I'm still waiting on my visa to be issued as ceac is showing ready. Anyone have any timelines for the processing of their visas after interview?

Anyone know if I should be concerned about the delay, or had a similar delay? It's been nearly 30 days.

If I were you, I will contact the Embassy where your interview took place, for follow up.
