My case is under Administrative review

Anyone who's case is under administrative review? I guess the best thing we can do is pray and think positive all the time and ask for a miracle above.

You shouldn't worry. Normally the CO hasn't made a final decision on your case. And since you have no white slip, it's a good indication that your documents are in order. Due to the backlog of cases, expect the CO to finish it in a few weeks. It helps though if your petitioner would call USEM IV unit at +63 (2) 301-2000 loc. 5184/5185 to follow up the case. These numbers are for US citizens though.

My fiance called this morning and the embassy told him ,just to WAIT it is still in AR if they need something they will call me. For everyone who has the same with my case, just have faith and pray to God with no doubts.

So as to manage expectations, I got my visa after two months and 10 days. But it was due to the notorious document review. If it you remove the DV portion of my review, it took them 1 month to review my case.

The call reps that answer your inquiries always tell the callers that their cases are under AR. They are not allowed to say anything more than that. And, they are not in the USEM, they are staying in a call center outside the embassy. When you call, they will just enter your case number in a computer. They dont have a physical access to your case. And some of them dont really know what they are talking about. They give rehearsed responses.

In my experience, one time I called USEM hotline because I couldnt get hold of Grace and Grace would only want to talk with USC's (racist!!). The call rep told me that my case was still under AR, and the CO has not yet updated my case (that was a week after they received my document verification results). On that very same moment as I was talking to a call center rep, without my knowledge, my then fiance was calling Grace. She told him that my visa was already printed and was ready to be sent by Delbros.

Just keep yourself busy and pray!

I wouldn't say racist because my wife is a Filipina but a naturalized US citizen. And she's been doing the follow-ups. It's true though that the call center reps don't have physical access to your files and would only say that your case is under AR and that you have to wait at best. Given the numerous calls that both Grace and Lorraine receive, I wouldn't blame them if they are grumpy most of the time. They are only human like you and me.
