Administrative Review and/or Administrative Processing

After Your Visa Interview

Administrative Review: Is when your case is being looked at more closely for accuracy and to make sure all security name and fingerprint checks have cleared and your visa can be adjudicated.

Administrative Processing: Means once you have interviewed it is in security checks for any of these situations: you have had a name hit in one of the many data bases, background checks for fraud, or has missing and incomplete information that must be submitted and the rechecked. Processing is more in depth and than the review process and there is no time limit for this processing to complete. Administrative processing can last a few days or months and in some cases it has endured for years.

What is 221(g)?

The 221(g) is a section of the US Immigration and Nationality Act, which is used when the embassy or consulate are unable to take immediate action on a visa case. In rare cases, when additional processing is required, the suspense category used in that case is 221(g) while the additional processing takes place. For example, sometimes the applicant has failed to bring in the correct documentation, has incomplete information or in some cases the embassy wants a co sponsor before they will issue the visa or health reasons are all reasons a 221(g) is issued. In the Middle East/African/ Asian countries these applicants are scrutinized and screened more intensely and thus they have to wait out longer security or fraud investigations until all verifications for security or suspected fraud come back cleared.

Ive sent my DS-230 last week via FEDEX. How long will it take to receive a notification from the NVC for an interview at the US EMbassy. Thanks

According to some forums I've read, since your PD is already current and completed your DS230 it will take 4 to 6 weeks before you receive your notification for interview. Notification comes from US embassy not NVC. Upon completion of you case NVC will now send it to US Embassy to complete the process.

Don't worry your almost there...congrats!

July PD's is now updated and the good part was F2B jumped 1 year! they are now in MAR 01, 2000 compared to last month which is MAR 08, 1999! Trend is looking good!

Hello, may I know what is your priority date? I applied for an opt out last June to be retained under the F2B and was approved last July. My priority date which is March 8, 1999 is already current, but I have not received any instructions from the NVC. Thanks..

My PD is March 7, 2003 and already received DS-3032 (choice of agent).

yeah, i did that last year when my mom naturalize... i send an opt out letter since my mom is a citizen already i prefer to stay in category f2b (im f2a before and age out for the record hehehe) so i said i wanna retain my case to f2b than move to f1...

they send me letter, asking documents including certificate of singleness from nso...certification that you didnt get married cuz f2b is unmarried children of LPR

so after those documents was ent they send me letter it was approved, i retained to f2b.

then after a year april 2010 i received ds 3032 letter. im waiting for the iv bill, my mom will settle soon.

hope u didnt get married, if you do, u will be in f1 category. u lose cspa procetion.

protection i mean

Got it! Thanks for this information, however i am not covered in CSPA because when I-130 was filled I'm over 21 yrs of age. I think you are covered for CSPA if your under 21 when I-130 was filled.

FYI: IV Fee $400

After mom pay's this you'll receive an email with invoice number, after which you can check the status if its posted as paid. Then you can now print the document cover sheet (DCS). DCS will be used in sending your DS230 (Application for Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration) you can download this document here: http://travel.state.gov/visa/forms/forms_1342.html

Nope didn't get married...hehehe :thumbs:

Thanks,

Hi,

No we did not contact NVC for the naturalization of my mom, as per US embassy Manila bulletin For F2B applicants (unmarried son/daughter of a permanent resident), their F2B petitions are automatically converted to the F1 category retaining the original priority date when their petitioners naturalize. Because of unique circumstances, the waiting period for the F1 category is longer than the F2B category in the Philippines.

Thanks,

Ron

hi, u are covered by cspa act same as mine. the one who replied is wrong. because u are covered by cspa. but the question is, did you wrote an opt out letter to nvc for opr out naturalization of your mother.

i think many get married under our visa category thats why they contacted us early. im in f2b too. feb 2002 pd. they contacted me already for iv fee. dont get confused keep crossing fingers in a year we will be in states.

see the trend in bulletin, in amonth it went 5 months up..so maybe next month it will drastically move due to change in status of many applicants.

hope this help. take care.

Hi,

Thanks for your comment. i feel the same way...i have check the PD bulletin trend and you are correct there was a big jump in Pd's. Likewise i think that they are sending DS3032 early to determine applicants with active status, meaning applicants with no response after 1 year will be deleted and processing will advance a bit faster.

Current status

IV Fee bill : Paid

Im now waiting for DS230, my petitioner will submit I-864 within the week.

lets cross our fingers hoping that PD movement for next months bulletin (July 2010) will be moving same as last month....

Thanks,

Ron

Hi,

I’m quite confused, recently (2 weeks ago) just received DS-3032 sent an email and NVC confirmed that they have received. Just today I have received my IV application processing fee bill invoice and will pay (online) this within the week.

Info below:

Country: Philippines

Status:F2B

Petitioner: Mom (LPR when petition was filed and now USC… as per US embassy Manila bulletin For F2B applicants (unmarried son/daughter of a permanent resident), their F2B petitions are automatically converted to the F1 category retaining the original priority date when their petitioners naturalize. Because of unique circumstances, the waiting period for the F1 category is longer than the F2B category in the Philippines.

Petitioner filled: Feb 2003

• I saw on the visa bulletin for June 2010 F2B for Philippines is 08MAR99 is this my priority date?

• Also saw the processing time for USCIS CSC is at July 02, 2003, is this my priority date?

• I read in the information about DS-3032 that when there is an immediate visa available or likely to be available within the next nine months, NVC will send a letter enclosing the choice of agent and address form (DS-3032).

o If this is the case, if my priority date is Feb 2003 and the current priority date is Mar 99 why did I received (DS-3032)?

FYI.

My Petitioner already sends back AOS Bill payment, receives I-864 now assembling.

What is my time frame to reach interview?

What’s next?

Kindest Regards,

Ron
