You can contact them by email to request the reason why you are on AP. Often, you may be required to submit more documents. So, I recommend writing them today to find out. But a lot of the times, you do not need to do anything. Administrative processing often lasts about 90 days, but in some instances, it can take several months or even longer. So let's pray it doesn't even take a month! Praying for you!!

They will not tell you the reason of AP nor do they know how long it will take and there is nothing you can do except call

DOS and check on your status periodically to see if it has been completed.

Sometimes a pattern of time length emerges that is embassy specific but each case is different and takes however long it takes.

If they want more things from you they will contact you.

The 90 day to longer period is stated on the US Embassy Port-au-Prince. Two VJ Haiti members were put on AP last year and when they contacted the Embassy, they did tell them what would strengthen their case. Everything is Embassy specific, so I would still suggest contacting them regarding the reason.

Contact these two VJ members for more help: Barbie_Vazquez and/or Laura and Ferlay

Visa Specialist referred me back to Embassy that doesn't pick up phone.

If you haven't already, I would buy a PIN again so that once you reach CIVA in Haiti, you can go ahead and ask all the questions you have. I called multiple times (not related to AP) and when I finally got through, they hung up on me because I hadn't purchased a PIN.

Best of luck, keep us updated!
