B2 visa

[tarik1230548 0]

Dear All ,
I ve applied for a tourist visa at the US embassy in Warsaw on the 25/11/2019 ( Poland).

After 3 minutes interview , the officer approved my application , and I was given a document stating that my application has been approved.

The officer kept my passport. however , after 2 days (27/11/2019), I got an email from the officer asking me for additional information : mainly about my previous address , phone numbers , emails , travels during the last 15 years ( DS 5535).

1 days later, I got my passport back.
Notice that I sent the information needed the same day after getting the email.
case created: 22/11/2019
case updated: 26/11/2019
my visa application is under administrative processing.
if someone can help me to figure out how long I have to wait for a final decision.

This forum is for CR1/IR1 spousal visas; you should instead try asking your question in the tourist visa forum https://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/143-tourist-visas/

AP is open ended and unpredictable

Sounds like you got the standard security background questions. No-one can really say how long it will last, unfortunately..could be days, weeks or months. The fact that they sent you the passport back indicates it is not likely to be a quick process, but other than that no-one can really tell you. Sorry...hope it is resolved quickly.

That is the reason for the ds 5535 3 page form you have to fill out

this extra security check will take about a year

It just means something was done to your file. It could be as arbitrary as recording receipt of what you sent. There will likely be multiple updates before a final decision is reached.
