TLDR : Answer Summary

After your visa interview, the time to receive approval can vary. Some respondents have reported receiving approval almost immediately after the interview, while others might wait a day. It's important to have all relevant documents ready, including your passport and financial information, to ensure a smooth process.

Let me know as I’m in the same boat here. Got a notification for interview on Monday. They asked me to bring passport , show them financial information and to bring “all relevant original documents “ . Does anyone know what that means?
