Administrative processing

[Mouad04 0]

Hello everyone

 

I'm an engineer student in France , I have a moroccan nationality , and I applied for my visa J1 in the us embassy in Paris , i had an interview on the 19th of july,  the VO told me that i need to fill the new DS 5535 form  and that i need to send it to them by e-mail ( 221(g) visa refusal ) i sent it on 07/20 , my status on CEAC now is "administrative processing" and I'm still waiting for an answer from them , my internship starts on 09/11 and I don't know what to do to speed up their process

 

Thank you very much for any help.

Nothing you can do but wait.

It is hard to say how long it will take because that is a new form. They have been telling people it takes a month, but who knows.

 

There is nothing you can do to speed up the process.

 

Good luck.

Hi Mouad04,

I also applied for a J1 Visa in Paris. I had my interview on July 11th. My application is still under Administrative Processing since the interview. My case has not been updated. It's been 36 days and my training was supposed to start at the beginning of August ... I suppose summer is a rush period and they are understaffed because of holidays. The only thing we can do is waiting...

I doubt this has anything to do with being understaffed. But it is shocking that some many French people are having problems.

First, OP is a student in France; he is a Morrocan national, not French.  Second, why is it so shocking that some French (in comparison to other nationalities) are having problems?

Yes , I'm still waiting , but time is running out and I'm getting worried, I will tell you if something changes, and you ?

Totally agree.
