Received 221g for Administrative Process

[Jacq1018 0]

Can anyone tell me what "administative process" means?

My husband had his interview in Caracas for our Ir1 visa on 09.18.08. The interview went well. He had all the necessary paperwork and the questions he was asked were very simple (Where did you meet?, Had he met my family?...). However, at the end of the interview, he was given a white slip with a 221 g for "administrative process" and was told to e-mail the the Embassy in one week for the status. The interviewer told him this was just a formality since he had previously been in the US on a A1/A2 Diplomatic Visa. Has anyone experienced this? Maybe this is due to the recent issues between Venezuela and the US?

Any comment or thoughts would be appreciated

Hi there. I'm sorry to hear that you've been placed on AP. Hopefully it will go by quickly. You may try posting this in the Latin American thread as well as the AP thread in order to get useful responses.

And I doubt that it has little to do with US-Venezuelan relations, but that's just my guess.

good luck.
