Hi!

Plz read it carefully.

Administrative Review and/or Administrative Processing

After Your Visa Interview

Administrative Review: Is when your case is being looked at more closely for accuracy and to make sure all security name and fingerprint checks have cleared and your visa can be adjudicated.

Administrative Processing: Means once you have interviewed it is in security checks for any of these situations: you have had a name hit in one of the many data bases, background checks for fraud, or has missing and incomplete information that must be submitted and the rechecked. Processing is more in depth and than the review process and there is no time limit for this processing to complete. Administrative processing can last a few days or months and in some cases it has endured for years.

What is 221(g)?

The 221(g) is a section of the US Immigration and Nationality Act, which is used when the embassy or consulate are unable to take immediate action on a visa case. In rare cases, when additional processing is required, the suspense category used in that case is 221(g) while the additional processing takes place. For example, sometimes the applicant has failed to bring in the correct documentation, has incomplete information or in some cases the embassy wants a co sponsor before they will issue the visa or health reasons are all reasons a 221(g) is issued. In the Middle East/African/ Asian countries these applicants are scrutinized and screened more intensely and thus they have to wait out longer security or fraud investigations until all verifications for security or suspected fraud come back cleared.

The 221(g) forms vary from consulate/embassy and you can get one or more forms after your interview. They vary in color as well as the way they are written whereas some are brief and some are detailed. In most cases they say to contact the consulate/embassy after 45 days. Be aware that the 45 days means business days (no weekends or holidays) and in some parts of the world the processing times are longer than 45 days. Always, try and check for others that are going through the same consulate and see what the average processing time is for the majority of the applicants.

I hope it would b helpful for u.

Hey guys.

I'm Magpie, my visa is a K1, I'm in the UK, and I had my interview today (30th March). I've been put into AP, and I'm terrified that it'll drag on for months, having seen these timeframes. I wish I could be more cheerful but them telling me that today was devastating.

Were you missing any documents?! UK's Admin Processing is not as long, don't worry!

Thank you, Revived...and I was missing my birth certificate, I only had a photocopy of a certified copy. I didn't have any originals because of the circumstances under which I became estranged from my family and relatives. I gave them a police letter explaining what had happened and everything, so I don't know if they're making sure my story checks out. Do you have any idea how long the UK admin processing is...? It's just that I really wanted to fly out before the end of May and I can't stay in university dorms beyond the 12th of June. On top of that, I have to make sure my cat gets his medical checks two weeks in advance of flying.

AP= no time limit or tractable time limits

AP in your country is not common and from what Revived states not long, but still you are not able to calculate or predictable. You will not be able to make any plans until they call you. You can call the DOS to get updates to your case. They might be able to see what the embassy is working on. My your AP be expedited!

Houcine received a 221g yesterday, March 30th from the lady in his interview. His was for 'review of evidence of the relationship.'

He had all documents, that was not a problem. SHe took the evidence, didnt look at it at all. SHe did ask him were he was going to live, he told her, with me and my parents. He has the support papers and she didnt want them!!!

So, we wait.

When you call DOS sometimes you get a helpfull person. Sometimes they are difficult with out any information. I found it helpful to say that I was calling to find out if there has been any updates to my case. This lets them know that you know they can see embassy updates from their screen. Elimanating the need to pull teeth for information.
