Administrative Process (AP) is not just printing of visa and documents as many are issued the same day visa. It's a lot more than that. Its more like a detailed background check and in depth review of facts along with interview answers to determine if the case is genuine. It's different for each person / situation. That's why it takes some people more just a few weeks while other in some cases are on AP for two years.

The detailed one is from DOS amd the one I told you is for embassy level.

I have confirmed this through one of my friend's friend. As he is FSO and works in UAE embassy.

Yes bro because i had to contact my friend to get the status of my wife AP status, as at the time of her interview Consular told her that you are approved and you will receive the visa within 7 to 10 days . And when i didn't heard anything from embassy i contacted senator and through senator they told me that my wife's case is in AP.

So i was like what the heck !!!!

Then i called my friend to check with his friend what does that mean and even when i contacted DOS they said we don't have any information that your case is in AP.

So then my friend contacted his friend who is FSO (Foreign Service Officer) at UAE Embassy , and told him about my case, he said not to worry about.

Once they have approved and they didn't provided you any AP Form you are good its just some Embassy Level Processing, so no need to worry about that.

which contains Visa processing , getting A Num from USCIS and Printing DOS forms which they have to put into that sealed envelope and etc.

(REMEMBER NO CHECKS)

He also told that Islamabad embassy have burden of work due to closure of Lahore embassy . So they are taking care all of those cases as well as

current cases from all categories.

So he said just hold on and wait for few more days no need to worry about ...

Then i was like Thank God ! : )

Finally after few days we got the news .. Visa Issued.

So just hold on Brother !

Inshallah you will get the good news soon.
