Hi all, post-interview update regarding delivery time in the UK ( 4 buisness days ).
- I was approved at my interview on the 17th of December ( really quick interview by the way, just make sure you have all your paperwork ).
- I received my passport with the Visa Stamp on the 23rd of December ( the stamp is a very detailed piece of ID and serves as a temporary green card for 1 year after your first entry )
- I entered the US on the 24th of December

- After your interview you should go onto the NVC website and go to the ‘check case status’ section. Here you will see updates regarding your visa.
- my case status read: Approved ( immediately after interview) , Administrative Processing (18th of December) , and Issued (19th of December )
- once it said issued I got a notification that my passport would be with me in 1-2 days, and then it updated to say it would be with me on Monday the 23rd
——— important:
- once you receive your passport you need to pay a final fee to get your green card printed and sent to your American address (<3months time to get it printed). You need to pay this fee before you enter the US I think.
- while waiting for your green card the stamp in your passport serves as your travel, residence and work authorisation.
