Hello All,
 
My wife's visa interview was on June 19, 2018. After the interview they asked for more documents under 221-g. We submitted the documents and only the online date was updated to Last Updated July 3rd and it was still saying READY. Now on  August 2nd, after almost a month, the status changed to ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSING. How long should I expect next update.

I had my interview appointment on June 4,2017 and it’s still says administrative processing. I heard people are receiving emails from US Embassy of Djibouti regarding a wavier reconsideration and some people receive email saying u need to renew your medical exam ASAP. 

The status READY means NVC had sent your case to the Consulate and it is ready for the interview.
Typically, it will be changed to Administrative processing after the interview.
 
However, it seems they did not review your missing documents until August 2nd, so the READY status did not change.
Now it is changed to AP which mean they begin reviewing your documents.
 
The waiting time for this status is vary, within weeks or months. Some people have to wait 3 months.
What you can do is waiting and calling or sending an email to the Consulate (not NVC) to ask about your case status every month.
Do not annoy them with calling and email everyday or week.
 

There is no defined time period for AP; it takes as long as it takes. Typically days or weeks for some, occasionally months or even years for others. 

Thanks for the Best Wishes Love_HZ
Triple28  - Was your an Immigrant visa or some other kind of visa?

It will b changed to issued soon Insha Allah.

Hi, hope you heard something positive from ISL embassy.

I guess that was the reason he did not look at the new affidavit since your wife could not explain. I submitted only 1 AOS to nvc which was accepted. and the same copy I gave to husband to take at the interview. However, I wish good luck to your wife's visa. hope she get her visa issued asap. amen

I'm so sorry to hear this. My husband's interview coming up soon inshaAllah and I'm getting worried to hear.. it seems like the COs torture people on purpose. I had my own earned income so I don't need any joint sponsor. My income is almost $3000 extra than required. so I'm the petitioner & affidavit sponsor as well.  but I'm still getting upset after reading this kinda experience. I hope Co isn't going to ask joint sponsor for my husband's case.
