Administrative processing

[Spouse2016 0]

My husband had his interview on August 31 and was put on administrative processing. After couple days he received an email with some questions  which we answered. After then we are waiting for visa but still on administrative processing. It’s been three months and waiting is frustrating. Please let me know what should I do. Any help is appreciated

Unfortunately there are a LOT of variables with administrative processing. 

 

What country did he interview in? Was the email the DS5535 form or something else? 

 

Did you have any "issues" in your marriage that may have been a factor (large age difference, married first visit, very little time together?)

 

If you give us more information maybe we can help you. 

 

One suggestion would be to reach out to your congressperson liaison. They can help you investigate where the case is at, but often people are frustrated because when they inquiry, although they get an answer quick, it's often just "case is still in Administrative Processing"

AP is always a very frustrating part of the process.  Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do..  What country?

you can contact congressman (sign paper so they can look into your case)

the infor they will tell you is "case is under AP at this time"

they will get the same notice you got

Thanks a lot everyone for responding, he was interviewed in Islamabad embassy in Pakistan. Not sure about email form but the questions were mostly about his family, contacts and social media accounts. We have age difference, he’s almost 4 years younger then me. And we lived 4 months together. We have a 7 month old baby now.

AP is VERY common in Pakistan.  It can last for years.  There is a thread in the  AP forum specifically about this.  IMHO blame the government who doesn't have a reliable police certificate source.
