1 week or so

Just sharing my experience with you.
i applied last Nov. Got my passport back within a week of the interview.

Thanks. Haven't submitted yet, will confirm with Aramex tomorrow and update.

Thanks so much. But the challenge is there isn’s any slots open . Any Idea if it’s a System issue?

sorry to necro this thread, this but currently how long is the wait to get the actual visa issued after visa interview & approval?

I applied for a B1/B2 visa on Jan 8, managed to get an interview appointment on Jan 13, and was told my visa was approved. I chose the option to self-collect from Aramex PJ. The embassy staff said I should get my visa within that week.

More than a month later, my passport still has not been returned. I called Aramex last week (there's a US visa inquiry option in their call menu) and was told my passport isn't with them.

So I just wanted to know if this is a normal wait time for this current period? (when i search online for info about this, it's all India-related results lol - they always have a massive backlog, so I'm not sure how relevant it is to us here)

when was your application? not sure if there might have been a surge in applications during the final week of previous administration
