Case has been in Administrative Processing for 4 months

[LillyLiu 0]

Our case has been put in administrative processing for 4 months because of my chinese communist party membership.

During the four months, the case was only updated one time by the official. I contacted the embassy in GZ every month, but they really dont give any meaningful information except for repeating that further processing is undergoing.

I am just a rank-and-file member of CCP,and have never been involved in any political activity. I dont konw why the processing takes such a long time, is it possible that I lived outside China for three years for my PhD? Besides living in Japan for several years, I have been to many other countries for academic conferences or school...

We called NVC, the representative doesnt help anything. We tried to get help from a laywer, but it seems he cant help us either at this stage.

We dont know what to do right now.....it is really frustrating, we are hoping to get some advices from friends who are on the same track.

Sorry to hear about your long delay. I know how it feels. We were stuck at NVC for eight months and we're going through AP at the moment, but it's request for updated documents.

When we were stuck at NVC, we asked my husband's Senator to make an inquiry on our behalf. 42 days later, we had case complete. Try having the USC contact his or her Senator and get them involved in your case. On their websites, the Senators usually have a section for helping constituents deal with the federal government. You need to fill out a release form, which is usually also on their website, then explain your case and ask the Senator to help you.

Hi!!

Unfortunately there's nothing you can do. My Husband is a Canadian Citizen but was born in Cuba. and has visited US many times. His interview was in May/2015 since then the case is on AP. I have wrote a hundred times, talked to different lawyers and made a couple of congressional inquiries. The answer is always the same... "We need to wait"

Google "Administrative Processing" there's many articles about it.

After 5 months of AP, I received the following email from the embassy. They are asking me to submit my passport and an updated physical examination report (the previous one has expired). I don't know does it mean that the AP has been finished and they need my passport to paste the visa on it? Hoping to get your suggestion. BTW, they gave my passport back to me after my interview and I'm holding my passport now.

Dear applicants,

Under the section 221(g) of the immigration and nationality act, the consulate general is unable to issue you an immigrant visa at this time. If you have already submitted your passport to the consulate general, we will keep your passport with your file pending the insurance of your visa. Further consideration will be given to your visa application after you meet the following requirement(s):

Requested document(s):

1. For all applicants: please submit a passport (with at least 8 months validity) and two new visa photos taken within the past 6 months.

2. Please return to the panel physician for a new medical examination and medical report and then submit the medical report. Please do not mail your chest X-Ray.

3. Your medical report has expired. You will need to conduct a new one.

Please tell me the outcome in your case as the same thing is happening to my husband.
