Administrative Processing/Review

[taj'samericanwife 0]

hey everyone my husband told me that air21 text him a tracking number yesterday. i just called the embassy and said they did not issue the visa yet but our case is in the final review since air21 text my husband with a tracking number which means the embassy has already touched base with air21 that anytime soon they will be sending out the passport with the visa. i hope she meant what she said when she said within the next couple of days, that's a guarantee.

HI taj'

So when your husband before went to the embassy and hand over the air21 form they didnt give the tracking number right away?how many weeks did you wait until air21 txt your husband the tracking number?wow!hope he will have it soon!Goodluck taj's!

GOD BLESS!

after the interview, the consular just informed him that all our documents are complete but we are on review. he gave his address and contact details to air21 and was given the white slip. that was all...no tracking number or anything. our interview was last sept. 25 and on wednesday (philippines time) my husband received a text message from air21 with the tracking number...will call the embassy in manila again...and keeping our fingers crossed!

We recieved traking # maybe 30 mins after interview, but I just recieved an email from "Manila IV Correspondence Unit" stating: "Due to certain issues which were unresolved during the visa interview, the applicant’s case was marked for further administrative processing in order to validate the essential facts.

Consular officers need to be reasonably satisfied that all identity and relationship issues have been addressed before a final determination is made regarding visa issuance." not sure what this means, maybe document verifaction or maybe not satisfied with evidence we had for relationship. But I would think that if they were not satisfied with documents for relationship, that would have been checked on the MNL-IV-22 form, so i am thinking maybe just verifing documents........anybody with any thoughts please let us know

we havent received any emails yet. but this totally sucks, the consular should have told you if they needed more proof of your relationship or whoever's identity they are questioning!

Hi All!!!

I’ve wanted to post this but was kind of hesitant as I've read a lot of similar topics as this but here's my share of the Administrative Processing/Review Case.

I had my interview last May 22 and it went well... The Consul was very courteous and didn’t ask much. However, as we were ending the interview he asked me if I still have any business trips coming and all I could answer was that there’s none as my boss already knows about my personal plans. So he got a big stamp and marked my (still valid at that time) B1/B2 visa with “CANCELLED w/o PREJUDICE” then he pulled out a white slip and tick marked at the bottom box saying WAIT UNTIL YOU HEAR FROM US. I asked him if there were any problems and he said there’s none and that I don’t have to worry about anything because I passed the interview. So I examined this white slip he gave and saw that there were no tick marks on the lacking documents part. So I asked him about the slip again and he said “just wait till you hear from us, your case is put under administrative processing and/or review.” He said my visa will be sent in a COD condition. So I left.

My question is what does it mean when a case is under administrative processing or review?... Is there a difference?...

I’ve read a lot of threads saying to wait because they usually process it after 6-8 weeks. Others would say call them every day or every other day or every week. We’ve already called once at the embassy call center and called Air 21. I’ve tried calling a number I saw on here that’s said to be a contact number at the embassy (Manila number) last July 3. It rang and an answering machine answered but when I dialed the local no one picked up. I tried to call the same number today but it seems like the line doesn’t exist anymore as I can hear a void tone.

Our case is already on the 7 week after interview date. Is there anything we can do to know our case status other than just wait?... Can anyone shed light on this matter? It will be most appreciated.

Sorry it’s too long a post… but hope you can share your inputs.

hi joyce/jeremy

i just came across ur post here today and was so sad that ur still under AP. i remembered you so well coz our NOA2 was approved within a month (mine is 33) and we were 3 couples that got approved simultaneously at the end of March 2009(within a month timeframe). I pray for ur visa to be delivered asap. I know u will get it....just a matter of wait. hang on....

I was told 6 weeks last night but 4 weeks last week. They lost our file, rescheduled our interview, and we submitted all the required documents but we have to pay for their mistakes! Costs me hundreds of dollars extra already, and they can't even give me a realistic answer.

your are absolutely correct. they are looking deeper into your application, not anymore into what you have submitted.

"...indentity and relationship issues..." looks to me like they want to be absolutely sure that issuing your visa will not be cause a national security issue in the future, if you know what i mean.

i see a bias here based on places of origin and affiliations...

GOD BLESS AND GOOD DAY TO ALL!
