Hi !

My wife and our 9 month old daughter had their interview on Tuesday. I am soooooooooo sad they were put on the Administrative Review (AR).

CO was telling everything is ok except for they need to go through this AR process. CO not sure how long it will take to finish this process. Even I don't know the reason for this Administrative Review. that's the worst thing. CO didn't tell me the reason for the AR.

I am really sad and down. I waited for last 03 years to bring my family here. Now, I don't know how long it will take to finish this process. its soooooo unfair.

what I have to do now? Why they put F2A visa applicants on this AR process? If, anyone had the same experience, please share/advice me.

Thank you.

Hi,

Did your wife ever applied VIsa for the US? or She had ever visit to US before?

I dont see any reason to be hold on AR except above question arise!!

Well I would say, Send an email to US consulate Malaysia, See what they reply. usualy it wont take that long. May be a week to get response back from embassy.

I wish you Good luck!!

It could be possible & also my wife tried 2 times, she got refused by Bangali officer. The bangali officer was rude & talked to her with strong word. Asked her not apply any visa until her petition get approved. So i am mentally prepared for that.

Since your wife visited US before, It possible more grill than visa refussal.

All we can hope and pray that...everything will smooth and easy for us.:star:

I dont see any bad reason on your case. It is like lottery, USEM picked ramdomnly one case do the AR. Since everything is security issue, embassy has to do that process. Unfortunately you are in it. Sorry for that.

Yes, it could be 30-90 days( it is standard time ). Sometimes it takes longer than usual. In your situation, I would send out an email to US consulate and asking for the reason being held up the case. I am sure they will provide best information than any one of us assuiming.

Good Luck my fiend...

This is usually security vetting through US agencies. It usually resolves within two months if they find nothing but if her name matches with some suspect then it may take long. You can google.
