we have plenty of cases here on VJ of AP being resolved after a year or more and clearly the case has still been active.

This is so true!

I have seen posts from members who have waited almost 2 years in AP.....beyond frustrating!

Aha, this does indeed shed light on the matter - this form is the kind of questions they ask for further background screening/security concerns. Not usually the kind of things asked of older females, but clearly something triggered. This can indeed lead to quite extended AP (it’s similar to the questions asked on DS5535 and if you look at that forum you see most people wait months and some do wait longer than a year for a resolution). So all you can really do is wait.

 

i think your quote about the termination is if the applicant is asked to do something and doesn’t, because we have plenty of cases here on VJ of AP being resolved after a year or more and clearly the case has still been active.

Ohhh I see. Is there a way I could reach out somewhere or to someone for a more detailed update on the case?

Not really. You’re never going to get details on where they are for AP cases, just “wait and we’ll contact you when we’re done”. There won’t be any point reapplying because it’ll just be the same thing all over again.

Hello,

 

I am on F-1 Visa and now working on OPT status. I had applied for my mothers visa nonimmigrant visitor visa on 2nd May 2018 at the U.S. Consulate (Mumbai), India, to come to the United States for my commencement ceremony. On the day of the interview, the officer at the consulate accepted her passports and said that her visas were approved. However, a few days later, my mother received a white slip from the consulate stating that her visa application to the United States was denied under section 221(g) and that it required additional documentation. Soon after this request, I submitted the documents on 22nd May but I didn’t hear back from them for the next 9 months, I decided to re-submit the documents requested for administrative processing again in February . Her case was last updated on 25/02/2019.

 

It’s been almost a year now and her visa is still under Administrative Processing. I have contacted my state Senator but did not get any leads. Online on the website it says, "After one year, an application refused under Section 221(g) is terminated per Section 203(e)."  Does this mean that her visa process is terminated by default and I can reapply for her visa now as it has been more than a year with no response?

 

I am really looking for some guidance on what should my next steps be.

Thank you all for your help in advance.

 

Best,

Nafisa

 

Why would a state senator be compelled to intervene for any sort of B visa?  State senators represent the interests of the voters in their electorate, not potential tourists.
