Administrative Processing is the label used by the State Department to describe the situation when a case has had its interview, but visa issuance is delayed. It could be held up due to the applicant, forgetting to bring all required documents to the interview, a suspicious consular officer asking for more evidences ( 221(g) denials), a problem in the consulates visa printing process (like the NVC Computer Failure of June 2015: No Visas for 14 days), the consulate performing further investigations to verify details or search for fraud, or to request a Security Advisory Opinion that queries databases of various government law enforcement and intelligence agencies.

As the possible causes of Administrative Processing are so broad, there is no "standard" for how it will take. It can take from weeks, to years to be resolved.
Administrative processing can be triggered by an applicant forgetting to bring all of the required documents to the Interview. In a recent case Sasha forgot to bring her American fiancé's most recent tax return the interview. The consular officer said "Everything is ok. But before we can issue the visa you must first provide the missing document." She rushed the requested documents to the consulate, but the passport and visa did not arrive and the consulate wouldn't provide any updates. Unfortunately, she had already booked her flights. She missed her original flight, but was able to rebook. When that departure date arrived, she still didn't receive her visa, still got no updates and finally lost her ticket price.
Depending on the consulate, resolution of a missing document AP case, is often treated as a low priority. Sometimes many weeks go by before the visa is finally issued. It is not clear if that is what happened in Sasha's case, because soon after her interview the Department of State's NVC computers failed. For her it was the perfect AP storm, one delay let to another. She is still waiting on her visa.
Administrative Processing caused by consular requests for Security Advisory Opinions (SAO) is trully a black hole, and is where delays may be counted in years.
SAO Administrative Processing can be triggered if the applicant's name is spelled similar to someone else's name, who is on a terrorist, criminal, or military watch list, or comes from a country commonly subject to AP delays, or is involved with High Tech, or is or has been a member of the Communist or a totalitarian party, or has family members who themselves might trigger any of the above causes.
A national of the following countries, may be commonly subject to SAO administrative processing: Afghanistan, Algeria, Bahrain, Djibouti, Egypt, Eritrea, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Malaysia, Morocco, Oman, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates, or Yemen.
Remember, when applying for your Fiance or Spouse visa, EXACTLY how long it will take to get the visa is impossible to forecast. I can tell you estimates for AVERAGE processing times, but the exact time in your specific case, will be unique. Do refrain from purchasing air travel or making deposits until your visa has actually been received and checked for typos.
we spent interview he say congratulations even a good trip papied and everything de expected after the visa for 15 dans but mimant nothing new there os thé 4 first pût it administrative processing and other ready nothing changes to its présent means?that hé van refuse US visa
Hello sir, good day. May i just ask what hapoens after the consul get the passport after the interview and send it back via mail after a week that says, passport is on the way but they did not mention that visa is granted? Could it be a positive that in the mail the passport ant visa is already there or a negative?Thanks for the help sir..
Usually you know at the time of the interview whether you have been approved or not. The consular officer tells you so. If you are still in doubt then you will have to wait to see what is inside your passport. As whether approved or denied your passport is returned to you.
Thanks for your timing responseDo you have any idea how long such a review can take?
I am hopeful
Days, weeks, months or years.
I attended a boss interview recently the consular wrote admin process mean while he did not request for more info I am disturbed
thank you for the great advice sir,they give my passport back also and they told me when I've got my PC I need to send it to them with my passport.is it a bad thing that I've got my passport back? but they said I need to send them back with the PC.
thats normal procedure to return your passport, cause it's a valuable document, and they have no idea how long you will take to submit the required documents, or even IF you actually will submit them. So they give passport back to you. Now the "ball is in your court" you get the missing documents and send them and the passport back when you are ready, or you you don't.
Hey .. I had an interview on march 16th 2017 (Thursday) but after a week my status had changed on Friday That ur case is under administrative process and now it's more than 3 months but still no progress. What would you suggest me for this .. and it's immigrant visa which my husbands company sponsor me for this visa ..
Ask company lawyer to provide advice.
Hey visa coach!
After the interview the consul game me a sheet that said: your visa has been conditionally approved and that was 2 weeks ago. Now when we check the status of the visa is in administrative processing. Why? We didn't miss any papers. And the interview was excellent.
any time the consulate is reviewing your case after the interview it is called Administrative Processing. Only thing for you to do is wait for the consulate to make their final decision and return your passport, hopefully with the visa inside. good luck
hello sir i submitted that documents they asked in 221g
but why they are not accepting those??
they are updating my case daily but still they did not accept documents almost 1 month passed
This question is one that you should directly ask the consulate.
hi Visa coach
What is the difference between "Administrative processing" when an applicant is given 221(g) versus when an applicant is told visa is approved?
If the applicant is waiting on the consulate to do something, it is Administrative Processing.
Hi visa Couch. My brother have given interview on April 26th, 2017 for F2A visa. His is 20 years old and my Mom who has green applied for him. His interview went excellent except the counselor officer did not recieve the examination package by the time of the interview. He gave a yellow paper to my brother as well as he asked him to sign a paper to make sure he is not gonna get engaged or married by the visa processing time. In addition they gave him some papers for green card instruction, hoe to pay the fees and etc. Now has been 4 months no respond and still case is under adminstrative processing. What do you suggest? what should we do? Thank you
Once a month his Mom may want to send an inquiry to the consulate to ask for status update. that and patience is the only path.
Hi my husband was interviewed march 1, and he received a 221g green form. the original cw1 was not sent by the employer instead the xerox copy... Can we.had a chance to get a visa after complying with the missing documents? Thanks
Maybe. Sorry, without knowing more info, what happened at inteview, the text of the 221g there is no way I can guess.
hello visa coach i want to have an advice of you.i have passed my interview on 27 january 2016 but the conselor tell me to pass after 3 days to get my visa after bring a new bank statement of my parent netherveless i am on Administration process today for 2 month .Why? what can i do ?thk you for your response.
+Espoir Ahouissou Good question. One that only the consulate can answer.
Hi visa coach
I have been interviewed CO told me your visa will be ready within 5 days than I got mail that my visa under AP than they sent my passport with blue paper telling I should wait until I get mail
Is the blue paper hard to get visa or what does it mean?? Thanks
It means the consulate is doing further research on your background. When they have completed their inquiry's they will let you know their final decision.
Hello Visa ,i was put on Administrative processing and the consule ask me to upload my joints sponsor documents in ceac but I try to upload my joints documents in ceac the position in ceac to upload my joints sponsor documents couldn't be found , how can I get a solution to that and how long Administrative processing Take?
For assistance to upload documents to NVC you should ask the consulatant or attorney who has been working on your case. If you can't get their help then send your request to info@visacoach.com and I will response with a "Menu of services for Ongoing cases"
During an initial interview or admin processing are the consulate offices allowed to call your employer?
The consulate officer can certainly do what ever he/she deems is needed to verify your statements and eligibility.
Hi visa Coach, after K1 interview the consular requested Affidavit of support . So she's asked me to send the Documents with my passport via DHL. I sent the a week ago immediately after interview, have checked status en they're saying my Case is Open I check after 2 business days. How soon will I get my Visa?
AP for those who did not have all documents ready on the day of the interview is not a high priority usually for the consulate. You may get your visa tomorrow, or it may take many weeks. Best advice (for those who WILL have interviews) is to make sure all documents are ready and brought to the interview. In your case the BEST you now can do is be patient, and allow the consulate to work at the pace they decide to work at. Should your visa not be ready after a month, a polite email to the consulate from your American sponsor, may help to remind the consulate about your pending case.
hi what does second administration process means and also we receive another letter of administration process and the passport on dhl on back of the passport has a barcode sticker with interview date is it good news or bad??
Sorry, I really don't know or understand enough about your situation and what you are describing. If you have such questions you are best served by contacting the consulate directly.
Hi coach the US embassy already sent me an email that my visa has been approved and they will let me know when my visa will be collected but then im already waiting for one week but still i dont receive any notice to them. Is there any posible problem? Upon checking my visa status still AP even then already confirm that my visa has been approved.
Always a possibility of a "problem". However, what you should do is be a bit more patient before getting concerned. Typically it takes about two BUSINESS weeks to get back your passport, you are less than half way to that point.
Hello Visa Coach , there is no way to asking for confirmation. ..US EMBESSY Service Desk told me... I have sent my email where consular indicated me .. so consular definitely found my e-mail and consular working on my case. ... what is your idea about that?
Thank you.
If the consulate says they received your email then they did. Now is time for you to be patient and wait for their review to be complete.
Hello sir ! How long dose it takes after second interview to get an decision from the consulate? Thanks
There is NO policy about how long AP takes, it could be days, weeks, months or years.
Hi Fred, my fiance's K1 visa has been administrative processing for 8 months now in Lebanon, with no word or update from the consulate. Our paperwork and documents were all straight, we had proper evidence, but we think we're in AP for security checks because he has a common name. I have had my Senator inquire about our case a couple of times, but still no change. Is there any other action I can take to speed up the process (like getting an immigration lawyer)? In your experience, do you know how long it would take? Thanks!
+bonjourMELL Submitting a "straight" case and asking for your congress person to help, is all that is useful that can be done. Security checks take as long as they need. An attorney is not able to do anything you have not already done, ie: "ask the consulate for status of the case". As uncomfortable as it is, sorry, but you will have to just wait for the final results.
Hi visa coach i had my interview on 12 november abudhabi the consular officer give me a blue sheet 221 with the white pamphlet and said to send som more prove . What it does mean??
It means follow the consulates instructions and provide the proofs they ask for.
Hello sir I just finished my interview last December 6 2018..they give me paper said administrative process..should I send now the other documents thru 2go?I check my status there is no ap or any thing in my status..I came from Saudi Arabia last feb18 2018 thank you sir please reply
You should follow the instructions that the consulate or the consultant or attorney involved with your case have given you.
Hi visacoach we did our interview 27/2/2018 they put Us under AP, so we are family and we are from one of the countries that are in the travel ban, so do you think we will be denied our visa, and petitioner is our father.
That is a question to ask the consultant or lawyer who helped prepare your case.
@@rd24life u got visa???
Hello, my fiancé had his interview on 3-26-2024 and the officer kept asking him has he been married before which he has never been married and kept replying no to the question which was asked to him 3 times. The Officer then gave him a 221g form n told him he will receive an email. They did not request any other documents. We haven’t received an email from them but I checked the status today and it says his case was sent back to NVC. We r very worried. We don’t know why it was sent back and we r afraid that he gets denied. Have u any idea why this could happen?
It appears they suspect he is married and thus ineligible for a fiance visa.
Hello Visa Coach, I had my Interview for the DS 260 i.e Immigrant visa, on the day of the interview, the Immigrant Visa was petitioned for my My Dad and two of his siblings as Principal applicants, My relatives got theirs at ease but our interview (my family) went either ways, and the worse part was that we all provided the same documents ( referring to my Dad and his siblings). So after the interview, we were asked to provide a whole lots of documents, and I quote according to the consular that interviewed us, she said the only way she can issue us a Visa is unless we provide the documents she listed, we submitted the documents and up until now we haven't gotten a reply, we tracked our visa status and found out we were placed on AP although we've been checking from time to time, there's always an update, my question is that, do we have to still exercise patience and wait or do something else, plus according to the letter addressed to us, we have to wait for 90days and if we don't get a reply, we should contact them the 90days is almost up, what do you advice we do
Yes, excercising patience and waiting is your course of action .
my fiance had everything in hand and presented all the required documents, but the consular wanted a new cenomar and a bc. she had the mist recent documents but they still told her to go to NSO and get a new one. when she got to there she was charged double the price that was written on the paper which the cosular gave her.
She should file a complaint with PSA.
Visa coach my status has been changed from administrative processing to ready. So what’s the next step? Am I supposed to go to the embassy to submit my passport without an appointment ? What should I do?
Follow the instructions that the consulate, or your consultant or your attorney give you. I have no first hand knowledge of your situation with which to provide any advice.
Hi VisaCoach. Just had our interview last July 2, 2019. The interview went well and the consul has told us that me and my daughter's visa was approved. He didn't ask for any supporting documents or some sort. As per checking now, mine is issued status but my daughter is in administrative processing status. No call or email yet.
Your visa is issued, hers is not. You will have to wait and learn the results.
@@Visacoach thank you so much for the reply.
You are welcome.
Hi visa coach! I had my interview this monday and The consulate said that my visa has been granted and wait 3-5 days to get it. And then this morning i checked my status online and it’s administrative processing, is this normal or should I be concerned? My friends already received their passport yesterday and I’m the only one whose in this situation. I’m really woried because my start date for my internship is july 1.
Administrative processing means the consulate is working on your case . Its normal.
hi. my husban visa was denied at juarez and transfer to Kentucky why??? and also can we appeal in kentucky ??? the visa was denied cause they said (we believe he is on a criminal organization )
I was denied why? they believe he is a member of a criminal organization. If you already used an attorney you should ask him to help. If not, then you should get one.
Hi sir fred wahl im maricel fran.. my status is administrative Processing..whats this means?&Many weeks before my visa is ready..i have interview last march 30..i got aporoved but they need my Hongkong police clearance..but they recieve april 11 allready....thank you
+Maricel Fran Administrative Processing just means the consulate is doing its admin work to clear a case. Your final missing document is now at the consulate. it is in some officers or clerks in-basket. As soon as he gets to your document he will take action. Unfortunately we don't know how full his in-basket is, so you have to simply wait, until the clerk gets to your case. If the final document is ok, then they print your visa, and return your passport to you. Next stop USA.
Hello Visa coach, I’m a US citizen and my fiancé had his interview on January 10 2021, he was put to administrative processing cus he didn’t have irs form from our sponsor his police clearance certificate and translated form of his military book, it took us just a week to bring all the documents to the embassy and submit them, I’m in his country with him right now I’m pregnant and don’t want to leave without him, it’s been 2 months since our case is in administrative processing the website says it should take 60 days or less for the case to be resolved but nothing is happening. Can visa still be denied even if everything is good with his documents and our relationship is legit? Cus hey I’m having a baby with him
Congratulations on the pregnancy. The answer to your question is, "it's not over till it's over" so regardless of what has gone before, approval is still not guaranteed, if the consulate, for whatever reason they find, decide not to approve, they might still deny. Fingers crossed they approve !! Good luck.
My fiance went in for her K1 interview on Sept 15. After the interview the consular officer gave back the passport and instructed her to mail back the petitioner's W2 forms and the passport together with the a form (I believe it was a (INA) 221(g)) by DHL express courier. This was done the following day. Just recently, I sent the Lagos consulate an email asking about the case status and have not received a response. What should I expect and do in this case? Thanks sir.
If you replied promptly, then waited a few weeks before chasing the consulate then you have done all that can be done while waiting on processing to be completed.
I had my interview on 28 Nov they asked about my joint sponsor's i864a which I sent ,my case was F3 visa category of married sons and daughters. VO also asked about my petioner why he is not in USA from 2008 and was told that his wife is bed patient and he is taking care of her but VO asked about domicile now it's almost impossible for him to go to USA right now,please tell me what to do.My one sister got visa on 14 Nov with same petitioner status and documents.
Sorry your situation is too complicated for youtube comments. I suggest you hire professional help to discuss your case and provide advice.
i made interview then they asked me for more evidence and i sent it with passport after 2 days and after two week they return passport with paper administrative processing and it passed more than three month then the department state sent my case for uscis and my wife went for them and they say your case still on administrative processing with uscis and we will update within 180 days , so then what will happened after this
Well, after 180 days, possibly, you will get your answer. Approved, denied or they need more time to adjudicate.
Hi visa coach have one more last question, yesterday I got email from consular it was QUESTIONAIRE they asked me for. Can you tell me what will happen after this??
You answer the questions, return the answers to the consulate, then wait for them to finish reviewing your case. Then they will inform you whether the visa is approved or denied.
what will they do after administrative process will they take interview again?
Bro... what about ur visa?on which visa u have applied? i have applied for spouse visa and my case is in Admin processing ....
Thank you for the informative video. I have question if I am the US citizen and I want to bring fience or spouse who has brother from a different mother doing life in jail for terro crime does this effect her approval to get the visa?. And she didn't live him or never been close to that brother??
It means she will probably have a more stringent background check than usual.
My husband had an interview 8-12-20 consular told him all documents are good nothing missing didnt ask for proof of relationship just a list of 10 questions about him and family info we send that in... consular just checked AP what does that mean is he in SAO?
No idea what "in SAO" means. What the status is is Administrative processing, for whatever reason the consulate wants more time to review and perhaps perform additional background checks on your case.
Hello sir,
I did the interview yesterday, the consular give me my passport and make my case under 221g,
I didnt understand why?
They sent me an email of ds-5535,and they ask for same question,
I am confused,can you help me please!
I can review your 221g and provide advice for you. send email to info@visacoach.com and I will provide menu and pricelist of what I can do to help you with your denied case.
My petition has been approved and said that they're forwarding to the states department for visa processing. Is that the same as the NVC?
When an immigration case is "forwarded to the US State Department", it means it is being sent to the US State Department's "National Visa Center" or NVC for processing.
I have a question
Well my mom tried twice to get the us visa to visit her sister in the us but she got rejected both times.
First she tried it with kids leaving her husband in the county as a aproval that she will get back from the us and the secound time she was leaving her husband and her two kids behind but she got rejected anyway.The thing is that her sister isnt us citizen yet was that a problem?? Or should she wait first that her sister becomes us citizen and then to apply for visa??
And sory for the bad english
Well if her situation allows her to follow the 4 tips to B2 visa approval www.visacoach.com/b2_visitor_visa_tips.html then she stands a good chance, also I can help her. If she doesn't, then sorry, unlikely for her to get the visa, regardless of your aunt's status as an LPR or US citizen
Sir, My fiance got Administrative Processing 221(g) refusal for K-1 reason with file is incomplete. But they didn't say which file is missing. They said they will contact. They didn't take her passport. Is it a bad sign? Thank you.
Holding the passport is always a better sign than returning it. You wil know your situation better once you receive instructions.
Hi Coach, my fiancée has her interview this past November 3rd, after the interview - they returned back her passport and said they have all the documents needed. And, that the case is in administrative processing.
How long does this take? Do we still have chance for visa approval?
Thank you
There is no standard policy time to complete AP. It will take as long as they need to come to a decision.
hi Im from mexico. I applied to mi daugther´s visa, she is 5 years old, it´s supposed she doesnt need to go to an interview infact the did not call me for an interview they only kept a copy of her passaport a copy of my visa n her ds-160 this happened 3 week ago n yesterday on the website changed her status from ready to administrative procesing but what´s bothering me is than in that message says it will take months to be solve... what can I do??? how can they take a decision if I never show up at an interview. sorry for my bad english
Administrative processing means they are doing their work behind the scenes to process the visa. In your case there is no reason to be nervous, just be patient. If after another week you have not heard about any progress, send an email to the consulate to inquire.
I sent in my AOS package 10/17/2016 with EVERYTHING including income proof. I got a letter today saying I don't meet income requirements and to send more evidence. I make 23,000 a year. what should I do????

I am one of 2019 dv applicant. I undertake my interview and My case delayed for 9 weeks due to farther medical examination. How can I sent my medical document and passport for visa approval to the embassy.
Thank you
The consulate should have already provided you instructions on their procedures for document resubmission. If you can not find them, ask the consulate to resend them.
I went for an immigrant visa interview file by my wife in US on May 2nd, 2017. the interview was successful. the next day we received an email from immigration, that my visa application has been placed on Administrative processing, that they will return my passport to me. and if I didn't hear from them in 30 days we should contact them for an update . 30 days reached we contacted them, and they said again that the administrative processing will take up to 90 days before they can complete it. that if we didn't hear from them within 90 days we should contact them for an update. 90 days reach we contacted them for an update. they reply to our email that our case is currently pending of review at Washington. and we should contact them in another one month time for update if we didn't hear from them.
please Visa coach what's your advice in this case?
Sounds like your name is on a security watch list. Once they are certain that you are not the same person listed, then your case will proceed. Until that time nothing to do but stand by
What is security check before processing the visa for USA immigration. My husband has petitioned my case for spouse immigration.
FBI does a background check on the American spouse, and you if you had visited the USA. The consulate will conduct their own background checks on you.
Hello sir my petitioner is american i have done everything i had my interview october 11 the consular asked me to send more two papers on gmail like what are my siblings names my phone s numbers and what kind of job i had before clearly i have everything clear my criminal record everything everything affidavit of support the consular held my papers and my passport too he said since u have a strong casa and he told administrative processing and he said from 6-9 months and when i read about section 221g i found out that most AP should be resolved within 60 days from the interview or the submission of other documentations so how do u feel about this case and how long it should take ? Plz my petitioner she really sick her health not good we can t bear it anymore we have been trying to reach out soo many lawyers but no one gave us good answer plzz we need help what can i do ?
Sorry, but AP takes as long as it takes. There is no standard resolution time. You will just have to wait for the results.
but if I'm economicly suffering with my children in this country and I'm not getting no support is there a application to send
That is a very sad circumstance, you may wish to contact your congressman and ask him to intercede, perhaps he can help.
Good day sir!
My father was interviewed this morning at the U. S. Embassy in Manila.
The CO said "see you in a week" and that statement concluded the interview.
The CO did not return my father's passport.
And did not give any paper either.
What does it mean?
+prime asinas That was a very good question for your father to ask the consular officer. Since he did not, then either your father or the US sponsor (you did not mention what kind of visa this is) should email the consulate to inquire.
hi my interview was on 22nd july , consulate said its ok and said to submitt another documents , since date of interview my status shows administrative process , even they updated twice but still status is same . can you guide me what is happening there
Something is happening. Exactly what is unknow. Perhaps they are checking you out on security databases, perhaps sending investigators to the street where you live. You can only wait for their final answer. Good luck.
Category F4 Pakistan
Interview Date: September 17,2018 (Sec 221g- Joint Sponsor required)
Joint Sponsor Submitted: September 23,2018
Caste Status from 17th September to 30th October "Ready"
Yesterday main applicant status changed to "Administrative Processing" and other derivates are showing still ready.
What is the reason of this?
Please guide me why the status was always ready eve after interview but updates were frequent which were visible due to change in date and why only Principal Applicant(Father) status changed to AP and why we other fours are still showing "ready"?
I am confused and worried now Please help
The consulate is reviewing the case. That is what administrative processing is. Why they appear to be reviewing some of your family and not all, is impossible to say. Only the final results will tell.
Good after noon sir fred my case i had interview and my case back to uscis one year now shes back again administrative processing again sir can u tell me what is gona be later sir fred thank u so much sir now shes back again administrative processing again one more time
Sorry, I have not enough info to make any kind of comment on your case. I suggest you ask the consultant or attorney who worked on your case for their insights
Have you get your Visa Yet? Please answer..
I have same problem, my visa is administration process last one year..
hi sir my fiancé went for the k1 visa and received a checklist of things he was missing and they told him to bring it in and took his document but when i checked on his status it said administrative processing should i be worried
Administrative processing means "the consulate is working on your case". It will show AP up until your case is approved or denied.
Hi Visa Coach. I have been in interview before 15 days in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the consulate tells me that I'm on administrative progress, because I was work In Qatar before two years, my fiance and me have a baby , she's born before one month in Minnesota, so what I can do?
Thank you
All you can do is wait for the results.
Thanks visa coach
Hi Sir I have given b1 US Visa interview on 26july 2019 the co told me that they will be doing further verification and you will receive feedback on your mobile number. He asked me during interview that have you been to Syria I said know I never went out of India now what do you think about my case?
I have no opinion.
Sir plz i had my cr1 visa interview it went very good the officer said the relation is good he didnt even look for so much evidence but they ask for two documents were missing now we are on administration processing so as soon as i send the documents will i get my visa or am i good or it is a bad sign ? Just to let you know the officer said as soon as we get the documents we will make a decision
It is a sign that you were not prepared for the interview because you did not bring the needed documents. Depending on if and when you provide the missing, and whether or not they are acceptable, and whether or not anything else comes up, your case will be approved, or not.
Can I re apply the immigration spouse ? My case been took long for almost one and three month . They keep saying it's processing.
You can re-apply as often as you like. It's best practice however to wait for results first. Then re-apply if denied.
Hello sir, my case was different done my f1 visa on June12th. Vo took my passport, loan letter, i20... She told me will notify.. But 60 days over no reply from them
Sorry, I do not have any information to share regarding student visas.
my husband asked for his criminal information 3 days before his interview. when he went to the interview he spoke to a man.had his interview and everything was perfect. till a woman called his name and gave him all his paper work. she told him your papers have been completely stopped. when he came home I contacted the consulate in my country that said he was missing that document. but they started asking for many more things like marriage certificate, birth certificate and much more. it has been two months since he had his interview.i don't know what to do I have to go back and sturdy
Well, you need to provide the documents and evidences that the consulate asked for. Do it quickly and completely. Then wait for their decision. If denied contact me to resubmit the case.
Hellow sir my wife had her Imigrant visa interview 09/2019 and her interview was approved but consul told her she is one of the country’s that is in travel ban and she told she would look for waiver still it says administrative process what should we do any idea
My clients who had spouses or fiances on the "terrorist ban list" usually got their visas about a year after the interview. Nothing for you to do but wait for the final results.
My administrative process takes almost one year is that right ?what can I do ?I wait since 2018 April to 2019 October nothing show up
There is no standard processing time for AP, it could take days, weeks, months, or years. Good luck.
I got my ineterview on September 14 the consul gave me 2pamphlets and she says call 911 if i encounter domestic violence..am i approved?I checked my status on the 15.it says administrative processing
That was a good question to ask the consular officer at the end of the interview. If in doubt, when your passport is returned check for the visa. If it is there, you are approved. If your passport is returned without it, then denied.
Hello sir Fred visa coach my visa ap from 9 October 2019 till now 18 2019 November immigrant visa still waiting for my approval, my question is : can u tell me how long it will take thx
Sorry, I can't tell you how much longer.
Hi sir I was put under AP but no additional document was requested from me, I think they doubted the authenticity of my birthcertificate, after the interview they return all my document including my passport but they kept my original birth certificate, will it be wise if I send them document proving the authenticity of my birth certificate without them requesting them, was interview in Nairobi embays
Best is you discuss this with the attorney or consultant who has been helping you. I do not have enough knowledge of your specific case to provide suggestions.
Good morning,
My husband had his interview August 7, 2017. Everything went well but the marriage papers we were given at the time we got married did not get registered we found out. The consulate advised my husband to get the extract and have it mailed into the embassy via DHL. The whole time it was under Administrative Processing which I understand why. But now, they have all they need. I check the status every single day and it still shows the same status but the date is updating daily. Why is that? Are they getting ready to issue the visa? My case is expedited due to my fathers health. But still no visa. My question is, can I call the embassy and if so, how can I talk to the consulate?
Yes you can contact the consulate with your questions.
Where can I check my status ?
Shelly Kallon hi ur husband we are from morroco i jad the same tbink Ap one year half now still waiting
Hi sir,after the interviewd who will issue a visa and from where ?thanks for the answer
The US embassy issues visas.
Hi sir.
My wife had her Cr1 visa interview recently and consular got all original documents from her and they gave her passport back and told her that the case is under ongoing administrative processing and she will be called. Is this a good sign?
That they did not deny is a good sign. That they did not keep her passport is a sign that that expect they may need a long time to make a final decision.
HI VISA COACH MY CASE IS UNDER ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESS FOR LAST TWO MONTHS DUE TO TYPING MISTAKE IN MY PRESENT PASSPORT MY FATHER'S NAME IS WRITTEN MUHAMMAD ASLAM BUT IN EXPIRED PASSPORT WHICH I USE SOME YEARS AGO TO APPLY VISIT VISA WAS WRITTEN CHUDHARY MUHAMMAD ASLAM DUE TO THIS DIFFERENC IN NAME THE KEPT IT UNDER ADMN PROCESS I WANT TO KNOW HOW SERIOUS IT IS AND HOW MUCH TIME IT WILL TAKE.
+Abdul Razaq As my video states, AP can take up to years. There is no telling how serious the review of your case is, or how long it will take.
did not get 221 g after my k1 interview the officer returned my passport and said I'm going to review your case please help?
Sorry the real time to get help from VisaCoach is at the start, so that there is approval and no administrative processing. By this late date the damage is already done, and no one can help. You just wait to learn what the consulates decision will be.
Hi, I had my interview on December 5th, the consular did not ask many questions. She didn't even ask for any affidavit of support or any other documents beside the original marriage certificate and birth certificate. I also lived in UK for 6 years I provided them with the original police certificate. My spouse (petitioner) accompanied me to the interview. The consular told us everything looks good and there's nothing to worry about but she gave me a white sheet of paper with 221 (g) with no further documents needed. Now my case shows under administrative processing. I have no idea what's going any help would appreciated.
Best is you contact the consulate directly, they are the only ones who "have an idea what's going on"
Bilal Mushtaq did they issued ur visa?? If yes how long they took to issued it
Hi visa coach, thank you for your video , i applied for CR1 visa and it took 1 year and half until my interview after the interview while my wife and daughter with me the consular asked me for answer the AP questions papers and make medical examination and after i did all that they replied me after 5 month to make another medical examination and bring my passport and i made that again and send it to the embassy , until now it passed more than a month and there is no responds from them and still my case at the AP the question is why they asked me for my passport while they will take additional time for checking ,knowing that my documents and passport in egypt at the embassy and i need my passport for my job
You are welcome. Sorry, I don't find a question to answer.
@@Visacoach the question is why they asked me to take passport while the administration processing still not finished yet?
There are many possibilities, perhaps they plan to issue your visa, or perhaps they wish to perform a stricter examination of your documents.
Thnk visa coach

hi visa coach, I need an advice now pls.I hope you can help me.I just finishedy.interview today June 1,2017 and thw consulate ask me for police clearance from Syria.how can I get it sir Syria is on war until now.the consulate told me to contact the Syria consulate here in Philippines and either I get one or not at least I did try my.best to obtain one.pls qe need an advice sir are we going to get.deined or no?but the console told that my papers is everything fine just only the police clearance. is.this going.to be a.long wait for.me?
You start by doing what the consulate officer told you to do. You go to the Syrian embassy and request the PC. If they refuse, or if after many months it is still unavailable, AFTER YOU HAVE TRIED YOUR BEST and have PROOF of what you TRIED, you can return to the consulate and perhaps at that time the consular officer will waive the requirement.
hi, my mom and me gave interview on june 22nd, 2016 and we were missing one original document , so they gave us AP. We sent the required dcument later to the consulate. At the time of interview they took both of our passports and told us that it could take 2-3months. I really wana know how long it could take and chances of acceptance
btw this was an immigration visa
The consulate said it could take 2 - 3 months. Thats the answer.
Thank you for replying Sir.
He applied for a tourist visa.
He is 72 years old.
+prime asinas Best is to contact the consulate for the status.
Will do that, Sir. Thank you and have a good day.
Sir its been 9 months in administrative processing my spouse my wife is us citizen they update case when i send email in after one month American congressman email them too but no any reply can u tell me how long and how long it can take time n attorney can help for this?
There is no policy standard for how long AP will take. It may take days, weeks, months, years. You contacted the consulate, you asked help of your congressman. That is frankly ALL that can be done. Now you wait.
hi sir
after interview she didnt take my passport so give me papper for send them inform about 15 years ago
travled addresses names jobs
and told me they will send me after finish then send my passport along papper by aramex to embassy
what means that and how much time take for finish that
im so sorry for my bad english
It means that the consulate has some questions. You are to answer them in writing, then send to consulate. If the consulate is satisfied with your answers your visa should be issued. If not satisfied, your visa should be denied.
Aoa dear Mas are you get visa ? After this question
Hi visa coach,
My husband had his interview on June 26, and after his interview they asked him to send one document along with his passport. It has been a week and we have not heard anything from them, I checked the status of our visa and it says administrative processing. Do you know how long can the passport stay with the embassy and should we be worried about administrative processing?
Thank you:)
Sorry you forgot the document. Your case might get processed in days, weeks, even months. Sorry there is no policy time for administrative processing. Typically if it goes long, they would return the passport.
Reem Ali your husband got visa
Hello Coach, thanks for the video. I was refused the visa under 221g. For administrative processing. My passport was given to me. Is that expected? Also is there supposed to be an indication that I have been refused for administrative processing when I check my status on the website? Thanks
Depends on what the documents you were given said. Either your case is still under consideration or not. You will have to read the notice carefully.
Thank you
Welcome !!
My fiance and I have been in Administrative Processing for almost 2 years. He has had 2 interviews with the Consular and we have been told they need no further information from us. My fiance was given our case file back and the Consular is returning his visa by mail because of security issue's in Iraq. So, if you are from one of those SAO countries like my fiance, and your profession is within any Gov. type setting for said country. You are looking at years like we are.
Sorry to hear of your case. When ready to apply again do reach out to me at www.visacoach.com/talk.html
Hi i have a question
Well my mom is interested, she has a sister in the united states and she is an unites state citizen and she is living in the us for 9 years, so my mom is woundering what are the chances if she could get an immigrant visa and what she needs to do to higher the chance of getting it
Thank you (and sorry for my bad english)
Aunt applies for her sister. sister gets permission to immigrate in about 7 years. If she wants a higher chance she hires me to properly prepare the application and provide guidance through out the entire process till she arrives and is granted her green card.
Hello, I passed my appointment in july 28 with my wife and my two daughters, It was amazing ! After this the officer of the consulate congratulated us and give us two papers which mean that we got the visa ! Now 15 days passed without any nwes, I always find administartive processing, It doesn't change ! I want to understand my situation : ) may you answer to my message
Not knowing anything about your situation, I have no ideas what is causing your AP. A general explanation on AP is described at my video. Should your case be delayed for another few weeks, then you should contact the consulate to ask what is going on with your case.
Hi,my interview was in 30 Dec 2015.and the CO put me under AP cause he want some evidence of how we met ,when relationship start..I sent him the chats he wanted also call bills , religious certificate cause she converted to Islam I wasn't take all this in the interview. he took my passport .I already sent him what he wants. on 18 Dec and I got two updates on my case in 31 Jan and 1 Feb but still AP,, do you think I'm good side and I will get the visa
+Mohamed Moro Sorry, a lot more information is needed to give an estimate as to whether or not your case has a chance. At this time it is only the consular officer who is processing your case, who has any idea as to what your chances are to be granted the visa.
could you tell me what to do?can be a reçoit?
Administrative processing can be for a variety of issues. If it goes on for over a month, ask your American Fiance or Spouse to contact her congressman to inquire.
Thank you very much for the reply
After visa how much time we will get to go to USA
6 months
Hello VisaCoach, I just finished my immigrant visa interview August 6,2019 ..consulate told me my interview successful but consulate give me a questionnaire which has 9 questions and told me send these answers to the (questionnaire@state.gov ) in 7 days. .consulate kept my passport, birth certificate, marriage certificate, police certificate. ...now my question is... "how long does it take to solve my case? ?" Is this a positive sign? ?? Thank you.
It's a positive sign they kept your passport. How long it will take now, is unknown. It could be days, weeks, months. Good luck,
Same. Here brother. Nd it’s been 4 months I didn’t get my passport.
Hi.what is that mean when i check my status but it says no status.
If you don't see any results, it means your case is not in the system
We are total 3 members in this case.
Hi VisaCoach, my Chinese wife had her Interview on Sept. 26, 2015 in Guangzhou and received a 221g for more financial support documents and a statement why she was in the China Communist Party. This is something that most students do in high school because it was told by their teachers, but nobody really does anything except pay the annual fee of a few dollars.
On Nov. 22, 2015, we submitted all of required documents, her passport and a statement that my Wife left the party and she was not involved in any activities. Since then, the application is still under Administrative Processing status. I email them twice and they said it is still processing and may "SIGNIFICANTLY" (all caps) take longer than a few months. She is also assigned a CR1 category, our 2-year anniversary is June 20th of this year.
I have a few questions:
1) It is safe to assume that my wife didn't have her Visa rejected?
2) In all of your cases similar to this, how long does AP usually last?
3) If our Visa is approved after June 20th (our 2-year anniversary), will our CR1 visa automatically be converted to IR1?
4) Sounds like my case is at the Consulate phase (in Guangzhou? or US?), will you be able to help me speed up the process?
+Bruce Ou In practice all of these questions should be asked of the consulate. They are the ones controlling your case.
1. no. 2. see video, no telling how long yours will last 3. ask consulate 4. consulate, ask your congressman for help
+Visa Coach Thanks!
I had the interview March 9th and they told me it's been approved even though I had a missing document that has been waived. I was surprised today to see the status switch to Administrative Processing ... I'm very worried and can't afford to stay here another week....
+Shorouq Shorouq It is worth while to have your American Fiance or Spouse email the consulate to inquire as to what is the status.
Sgoroq how long it take you to issue ur visa waiting for ur response appreciate
Hi , I'm Khalid from Saudi Arabia. I did the interview and the consular officer gave me a red paper says "your application is refused for administrative processing " does that mean i can't get my F1 visa? .
If you are not sure what it means, it is best you contact the consulate and ask for clarifications.
Visa Coach Thank you
Hi we have a interview at the U.S. embassy in Bagdad and I go with my wife the interview was very good and the counselor officer interview my wife was very happy with are case and cogrglione my wife and and take my wife passport and tell as it be too week for the passport back to as, are visa was IR1, but when I checked my case it say is outgoing nesesery ainminstiove presses can u tell as why
If I had all your case details, perhaps I could make an educated guess as to the reason. A simpler way is to contact the consular officer and ask him his reasons for more AP.
Thank u, today CEAC status change from AP to issued. do do u know how long it take be fore we ge are visa
congratulations. Usually visa and passport are returned in 2 business weeks.
Hi sir!!! Thank you so much for you help Allah Bless you Mr Fred Wahl
+Mustapha EL BAROUDI Thanks. You too.
Hello Visa Coach. My fiancee, a Russian woman who is a legal alien working as a translator/interpreter for engineering firms and law enforcement in Seoul, South Korea, applied for a K1 visa in December last year. I myself am a commissioned officer in the US Army. She had her interview in early June and was told it would take about a week for her visa to be issued. They took her passport and all of her paperwork. It has now been over 70 days of administrative processing. They requested additional information in late June, which we had to them the next day, which they acknowledged. We have received little to no updates on her case. We contact the visa center often and I actually visited the embassy myself when I visited over the summer. The visa chief was unsure of why it was taking so long. As of now we are still told to just wait for administrative processing to conclude. Any ideas on why it would be taking so long?
No idea.
Rolando Gutierrez may I know if your case is still on Administrative Prcoessing status? I am on AP too due to 221g but I already submitted the 1 missing document they required me to submit.
Hi sir! I’m at AP the us embassy called me and asked me for some papers and they told me to be at the embassy at a specific date so it means they approved me? Or what
It means they want some more papers and want to ask you some more questions.
Does it means that the visa is ready
