Case Creation Date: 07-Sep-2016 Status Updated Date: 08-Sep-2016

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.

Thanks,

being stuck in administrative processing is like delivering a baby , that gets stuck, it is painful and at the same time you do not know the outcome.
