I am sure this has been asked but I cannot locate it. My son (a baby) is applicant for tourist visa to visit USA with his parents (us) who are US citizens. He is not eligible for immigration yet

my question is about administrative processing and how long it can last when we were not given a 221g slip or any instructions! we were told we would hear in 3 days but weeks have passed and nothing.

ALSO: the status on the traveldocs site changed form "passport still at embassy" to back to "document delivery information". is this a good, bad or indifferent sign? I called the so called "help line" and was told his status remains administrative processing. Does the change to document delivery information mean anything at all?

so stressful since we are ticketed to fly in TWO DAYS!

A child born to US citizen parents is eligible for US citizenship, even if born abroad. Why apply for a tourist visa? Were either of you a USC at the time of the child's birth?

Not quite sure why you believe the child is not 'eligible for immigration yet'.

Btw, it's good to plan ahead, but never make concrete travel plans till "passport with visa in it" in hand!!

Ok.. that detail was missing in your original post. International adoptions can be complicated issues due to the potential for abuse, visa fraud, and child trafficking issues, especially in the developing world. The US embassy is likely making sure the adoption and visa process is by the book.
