Thanks P1! And what about the status on the ustraveldocs website? did it say "your passport is still with the embassy" or "your passport is ready for collection"?

Document for further info, etc. The status on the CEAC website says "Administrative processing". Has anyone else experienced/ heard about similar situations?

It takes atleast a week, mine took 10 days until I receive my passport...it still "Administrative processing" even when I got the passport so just enquire while calling or emailing them after a week!

*received

P1, how did you know you had to go collect it then? Because of the status on the UStraveldocs website? And I've already emailed their support email ID, which phone number did you use to call them? Thanks! :)

I emailed them on the support email id as you already mentioned. They got back saying the passport is shipped and gave me a tracking number through which I knew when it's being delivered! I didn't reached out by phone number as they were very response with their emails!

Standard operating procedure, nothing to worry about,should have it back in a few more days

Even when they said status is shipped, on the website it reflected as "Under administrative processing".
Nothing to worry about, chillax...you'll get it in few days!!

It's the holidays allow for more time

How would you ask to transfer to another office within your firm?

I lateraled from one firm in city A to another firm city B. During the interview process, I made a big deal about how I badly I wanted to be in B, despite only being barred in A. They hired me, paid for my bar courses, the works.

Now I find myself in a position where I need to leave B due to personal issues. Thinking of going to DCso I can just waive in.

It's been less than a year since I've joined; is it too soon to ask this?
