NVC missing the police certificate/Admin processing

[ayumi1486 1]

Hi all,

I sent in all IV/AOS document back in May and received a checklist on 6/29 for missing IV (due to website technical issue).

I paid the IV fee again on 6/29 and completed DS-260 on 6/30.

Between the month of June and July, I called NVC at least 5 times, and everytime I called, I was told to wait 30 days for DS-260.

So I waited about 30 days and called in today, and was told that I was missing the police certificate!! (which I sent in back in May)

I did not expect such news and asked for a supervior, who said she will go looking for that document and give me a call back hopefully next week.

So now my case is officially in "administrative processing"...I was wondering if anyone has similar experience. What should I expect from this special process? Just to prepare for the worst, I have my husband in Japan re-issuing a new police certificate. But I would like to hear if anyone hear has gone through the admin processing and how did the process go? Would it be worth it to send in another certificate before the supervisor call me back?

Also, I am curious if the document was overlooked because Japanese police certificate comes in a sealed, brown envelope? Given the sheer volume of document the NVC received, I wouldn't be surprised if they overlooked it because it because it's a not-so-conspicuous document lol.

Thanks in advance!
