Hello everyone, my i130 for my wife needed administrative processing and they already called both of us for an over the phone questionnaires a month ago. My question is how long does it take for the administrative process to be completed?  Also my visa case status usually show "last updated" every Friday but the case still stay the same.  Anyone has any input on this matter and how can we get the AP to be expedited? This is for Consulate in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Please fill in your VJ timeline.  The phone interview is quite unusual.   Who conducted the phone call?  The consulate?

yes, the consulate called for a phone interview. 

 AP cannot be expedited or even estimated.  What was their focus during the phone call?

I assume this phone call was after the initial visa interview.

Interesting.  Sounds like the CO is resolving any final doubts about the relationship.  I don't think the AP will last long.  I think you'll see the status change to issued soon.  Good luck.

do you know what's the avg time frame for AP?

No.  Sometimes, it means they are finalizing the printing.  At other times, it means they have to do extensive background checks.

There is no way to expedite AP.
