All,

 

My fiancé attended her interview on April 25. She said that the interview went well. She was given a 221g (green slip) for her to submit police records for Nicaragua and Panama. We sent the documents in. The embassy received the documents on May 18th. The department of state website posted on May 18th that they had received her application and for her to check back in two days. On May 22, the department of state website posted the following:

 

Your visa case is currently undergoing necessary administrative processing. This processing can take several weeks. Please follow any instructions provided by the Consular Officer at the time of your interview. If further information is needed, you will be contacted. If your visa application is approved, it will be processed and mailed/available within two business days.

For more information, please visit TRAVEL.STATE.GOV.
 
What does this mean? Administrative processing can be scary from what I understand...  
 
Thank you all!
