Please what does Administrative Processing mean? My husband is Afghan I am US Citizen we have a clean case . . . no children, no police records, all our documents have been provided we had initial interview at US Embassy March 3rd. . . and I might add that the interviewer was less than professional ~ completely lacking any sort of professionally trained interviewing or effective communication skills (I can say this because I have a MS in Counseling and thus know plenty about Effective Communication & Interviewing Skills) we were not acknowledged as human beings we were merely a case number . . . my husband and I have been married for 17 months now and I have been living in Kabul, Afghanistan with him since August 2011. I have maintained my Domicile in USA ~ Onalaska, Wisconsin we were both asked about a total of 6 questions each and handed a yellow card with white paper stating "This office regrets to inform you that it is unable to issue a visa to you because you have been found ineligible to receive a visa under the following section(s) of the Immigration and Nationality Act. The information contained in the paragraphs marked with "X" pertains to your visa application. Please disregard the unmarked paragraphs." this box was checked "Section 221(g) which prohibits the issuance of a visa to anyone whose application does not comply with the provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act or regulations issued pursuant thereto. The following remarks apply in your case." *Your case requires administrative processing which could take several weeks up to several months to complete. You can check your case status online according to the instructions on your yellow card. We will contact you if we need any additional information. *WARNING: IF YOU FAIL TO TAKE THE ACTION REQUESTED WITHIN ONE YEAR FOLLOWING VISA DENIAL UNDER SECTION 221(G) OF THE IMMIGRATION AND NATIONALITY ACT, SECTION 223(G) OF THE ACT REQUIRES THAT YOUR APPLICATION BE CANCELLED."

When the interviewer handed this to us I clearly asked are we being DENIED? and he said no but you must follow the information on this paper and yellow card now and wait. . .

Honestly we are at a loss and I am so sad. . . I was so hopeful we had done everything correctly and because we are two good people with no criminal or police record backgrounds I thought we would get a visa and be on our way to start our new life in the US on March 21st. . . silly me.... when I read this I feel like it is worse than being denied because we have now fallen into a black hole of waiting. . . My question is what can we do and what should we do?

it is normal for all afghan applicants to be put on AP for months even years. You cant do anything just to be patient and wait. one of my friends is in the same case as you are and he had his interview on november 2010 and it is almost three years he is waiting for his visa.

I hope it doesn't take that long! I'm in the U.S. and my husband is in Afghanistan. He had his interview February 5, no problems, and now we're waiting for administrative processing. Our son is 9 months old. I'm having trouble getting the U.S. passport for our son to be able to see his dad in Afghanistan, since we need a notarized signature of both parents for the passport. My husband can't use the notary at the U.S. embassy since he's not a U.S. citizen. If this administrative processing takes years, and we can't even visit Afghanistan...it makes me so sad that our son is growing up away from his dad.
