Hello all,

 

We are applying for my husband's CR1 visa. 

 

His interview was on July 24, 2020. The interview went great! Just we were asked to upload a document on CEAC (additional financial support) which my husband brought to the interview with him. The interviewer politely informed him it needs to be in the system on CEAC so that day after the interview, we uploaded it. The status of those documents says 'accepted'. 

 

Now its July 28 and we havent heard anything back from the embassy. Our case status changed today from 'Ready' to 'Administrative Processing'. 

 

Any idea what this means? And any idea when we might get a final decision?

 

Thank you!

All cases go through Administrative Processing.   It can consist of anything from internal processing of the visa to lengthy background checks.  It can last a hour, a day, a week, or even many months.  Extended AP is common for some countries .  Visas are approved after all administrative processing is done.  Watch for the status to change to "issued"  That will be the indication that the visa was approved.....good luck.

Hi! Just curious.. Did you request for an expedited appointment for your husband. I checked from your thread/replies that you were DQ'ed on May 22. We were actually DQ'ed earlier than that--May 5th! Im anxiously waiting for when the interview will be for my husband in Ankara. Any suggestions?
