Yes which is far better than November so there is no change in visa policy and scrutiny since trump came as a president because they are issuing visa same s they were issuing in 2016 and previous years  before trump presidency

Dear Sir/Madam,

 

Thank you for writing to our office. Your immigrant visa case has been refused under INA Section 221(g) for administrative processing, an integral part of the visa adjudication and issuance process that can neither be expedited nor waived. Unfortunately, it is difficult to predict the amount of time the processing will take and timing varies based on the individual circumstances of each case. The visa application will be reconsidered when administrative processing is complete.

 Please be assured that we are aware of your concerns and will process the application to completion as quickly as possible, in accordance with U.S. laws. We recognize that this process can be frustrating for applicants and regret any inconvenience. 

 Sincerely,

 Immigrant Visa Unit

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you for your email. Our record indicates that below visa case is under admin process. Administrative processing is mandatory for all sorts of visas to the United States.  There are no waivers available.  Only after this processing has concluded do we review a case for possible issuance of a visa.  The time this processing may take varies from applicant to applicant.  The wait time can be lengthy.  We understand that this wait can be frustrating for our applicants.  Please rest assured we are making our best effort to finish this processing as soon as possible.  Thank you for your kind understanding.

Sincerely,

Immigrant Visa Unit

hmm that i don't know could be not because officer could have tell his translater to call or someone that know Urdu well to deliver the message to the person. i am thinking but i could be wrong may be once they reach the person and talk to them then they could have update the case...
