Hello everyone,

 

I'm a resident in France and applied for a tourist visa. After the initial interview, I have received a request to fill out form DS 5535 in which I have provided more information about my travel history, work history, social media.. 

 

A week after, I have received a call to go to a follow-up interview. I was asked to provide more details about my travel destinations. I have an extensive travel history for leisure/tourism. Countries I have visited include: Germany, Italy, Malta, Hungary, Austria, Iran, Serbia, Qatar and Syria (prior to 2010).

 

My case is currently under Administrative Processing.

 

Did anyone  go through a similar process? If so, how long did it take to get a decision?

Visits to certain countries in that list attract additional scrutiny. Admin processing is open-ended, is indeterminate, and takes as long as the embassy needs.

It doesnt matter how long it took anyone else to get a decision. You have your own set of specific circumstances.

 

It could take days/weeks/months/years.

 

Nobody can tell you how long it will take.
