Administrative processing question

[maryam78 10]

Hi guys,

 

Is it true that now days almost everyone gets AP after interview in countries like Afghanistan or Pakistan. If so how long is the average in a normal case.  Anyone share his or her experience.

 

Thanks

Usually. Males especially. 

 

It can take months, and in rare cases can take years.

Yes, and specially if you live in another country as Turkey or India and you're from a Afghan background or even Pakistani or even Iran I heard, you get extra processing but after the interview you can ask them and maybe they can give you a approx how long itll take. My fiance lives in Turkey but he's from Afghanistan moved about a year ago, & he went under processing which they told him it'll take a couple of weeks.

After the interview my fiance asked how long will he be under AP and the CO said a week or the most 2 weeks but it got removed 4 days after. Did the CO tell him anything after his interview?

No they didn't tell him how long because I guess they don't really know how long AP takes. But they did keep his passport. I think they are doing extra security checks which is the new extreme vetting policy and not sure how long it will take. I assumed with this new policy they do this with all the males getting visas and they all go on AP after interviews but I could be wrong. I know in the past months people getting theirs within a week or two weeks after interviews even though it is case by case.
