VISA ISSUANCE 

At the interview, applicants will be notified if they are issued a visa to the U.S. An interviewing officer will provide an applicant with a green slip which he/she will need to present to the courier service in the consular pavilion to arrange for the delivery of the passport.

Please note that any application may be subject to administrative processing which can delay visa issuance.
