Hi Riyagha
all ok here thanks - but nothing from the Embassy :-(

Re: L1A visa approved in the current environment
 

That being said during the afternoon the status of my DS-160 on the portal has gone from Denied to "Administrative processing"

Re: L1A visa approved in the current environment
 

Same here. Even my DS-160 status as of today afternoon got updated from 'Refused' to "Administrative Processing". Fingers crossed. Hope its moving in right direction.

Re: L1A visa approved in the current environment
 

interesting they updated at the same time even though there was a week between our embassy appointments! Fingers crossed here too

Re: L1A visa approved in the current environment
 

In pre-covid times that often used to mean that the visa "foil" was being printed and stuck into the passport. Hope that is still the case and it changes to issued for you quickly.

Re: L1A visa approved in the current environment
 

thanks for the info Lizzyq. Any chink of hope after all this time is a great help. I got my I797 (I think that’s the number) form from the US back just before all the embassies closed -literally a couple of days!

chas325 riyagha Any updates? For us it took a couple of weeks after our appointment to get the passports back with the visas

Re: L1A visa approved in the current environment
 

Sir Humphrey Still under administrative processing. Thanks for letting us know that it took couple of weeks in your case too. Hopefully we will hear back soon. Thanks

Re: L1A visa approved in the current environment
