B1/B2 visa approved in delhi on 5th May 2026 but not yet issued
I had my VAC appointment on 24th April in Hyderabad and my visa interview on 5th May in Delhi, India. Both went well, and the interview itself was completed within 3 minutes. The VO was polite as well.
Since then, I’ve been waiting for the visa to be issued and for my passport to be returned. However, it has now been more than 10 days (around 7 working days), and the status is still showing “Approved.” The last updated date also hasn’t changed and still shows 5th May.
Has anyone had a similar experience in the last couple of months?
I also came across a few Reddit posts saying that if the visa is not issued within 10 days, it could most likely end up being refused, so I’m feeling a bit nervous about what might happen next.
From what I’ve read, calls and emails to support are usually not very helpful, and most people are simply asked to wait it out.
