Visa approved but Administrative Processing?

[Mike&Janssel 2]

Hi guys, I am devastated to hear this news when I called the US Embassy today and asked about my visa because it has been a week since my interview and no call in 2go or any info that my visa has been dispatch. The agent said that my case is in Administrative Processing and I did check it online its the same. Its confusing because the consulate approved me and the releasing part they didnt give me any paper or 221g form to be exact. In fact they make sure my pick up 2go branch and simply say 'You can go home.'

So my question is how long does it take? And what are the reasons?

Awww thank you so much for the prayers.

MishaJeff and I have the same fate. I really don't know if its because we undergo treatment for TB. People I know that taken that too got AP on their interview not the same with me and MishaJeff that got approved. They stucked on AP for 2 weeks or so only then they received their visa. I'm praying that MishaJeff and I have the same case like them. It's been a week since my interview so I'm praying soon. But I don't want my hopes too high but wait for the next step. Thank you again, @@mirpeArl...

Be patient, all files get a second review before issuing the visa so they all show AP for a short time before the visa is issued.

Embassy states it can take up to 2 weeks from issuance for a visa to be delivered. Relax.

Hi Hank, here we go again.. Non stop delay. Hehehe. Yes, I will wait more. We are almost there anyway. I really hope and pray its just few weeks or 2 weeks. One week down.

Thank you so much for saying that. Thank you also for giving me support about my NSO BC. <hugs>

It was two weeks for my wife's visa to be delivered. Waiting can be too much fun for sure.

It is probably step to complete processing.

Our interview was July 23. The visa status was changed to "case created" on August 5. On August 12, the status changed to 'Administrative processing". The visa was issued August 13.

interview was july 9,, consulate took her passport and said visa will be mailed in 3 weeks.... 2 weeks passed by so I contacted my senator and the embassy responded saying they need a letter of confirmation, so I submitted the letter....that was july 24....website still says administrative processing

You are funny. Ok, seem like it takes 2 weeks. I wasn't sure if its because I had DOT that's why they are holding me, so its random. Thanks, Hank.

Wow two weeks for you. I really hope mine will be that too. Our status is AP still. I was interviewed last August 5. Were down to one week so I keep looking if this will change next week. Thank you Monel.

The consulate told you it will be deliver on 3 weeks on you interview day? I like to ask what is that letter of confirmation? I heard my fiance said write a letter to the senator. I couldnt understand it. Is it possible they could help? Are you still in AP until now you mean?
