I think it's the same thing. My fiance is in AR/AP now and every time I email the embassy their response is "this case is still under administrative process" OR they will say "this case is still under administrative review." Makes me crazy.

well they keep my passport and give me 4 digit token and say the courior service will contact u show them this token and get documents after administrative process...they say this is normal process did they gave u any token? or keep ur passport or return it to u?

I believe Administrative Process is just the searching of databases for name hits, and fingerproints.. but Administrative Review is when an officer actually makes a decision regarding the accumulation of all the checks? Correct me if I'm wrong.

I dont know the difference but im sure there is one....and the reason is my fiance called embassy and enquired about our administrative "processing" and the lady he spoke with was quick to correct him and say it was "review" not processing. Also we have been on "administrative review " for six months now, and I call the DOS about once a month and I am always told the same thing. "There has been no Security Checks ordered by the embassy".... They keep telling us that whatever is going on is within the embassy itself. So there must be a difference between the two... just dont know what it is! If anyone else knows, please post because im dying to know myself!

And does anyone know if the embassy itself does security checks or are they all done at the DOS?? Can this get anymore confusing???

Good luck to all
