My father-in-law interviewed in September for a tourist visa and it hasn't budged. The status still says Admin Processing (ugh). The email to the embassy said they won't give status updates. The normal turnaround time after an interview is 60 days and we are obviously way beyond that. Is there anything we cna do to get some focus on this?

Our baby is due next month and we really want my ftaher-in-law to be here.

Thanks!

I am going to guess you do not mean Iraq Tourist Visa, I am also going to guess there are few applicants.

AP can take a long time and there is no limit.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

CassandraHaydar, I know a friend who helped his Dad (more than 60 years old) from Jordan apply for a B1/B2 visa. It took about three months until he was finally granted a visa. Administrative processing means doing a security clearance. There is nothing you can do and the US Embassy in (Baghdad, maybe?) won't provide you any further detail until that process is done.



Sadly, it's the reality. Have patience but don't expect too much, and good luck.
