Visa (B1) approved but administrative processing!

[qwerty389]

Recently, I have applied for B1 visa. July 2016, The interview went well and last words were "your visa is approved. Good luck!". Now I checked the visa status for B1 in ceac website which is showing as "Administrative Processing".

Can you please let me know where is a problem now? and What action do I need to take in this case.
Message displays as:
'Your visa case is currently undergoing necessary administrative processing. This processing can take several weeks. Please follow any instructions provided by the Consular Officer at the time of your interview. If further information is needed, you will be contacted. If your visa application is approved, it will be processed and mailed/available within two business days."

Thanks

Don't press the panic button

Hi.. Please don't press the panic button. if the consular officer told you that it is approved, you will eventually get your passport. All applications have to go thru administrative processing sooner or later. I am having the same experience with my daughter's application. Me & my wife have valid B2 visas. I have applied one for my daughter on August 9. We didn't need to appear for an interview as the visa is for a minor. We just needed to courier the documents. The case was created on Aug 10, 2016 and status changed to ready . In the evening of Aug 10, the status changed to AP. I am sure this is normal and you will get your passport soon.
