Hi sorry for the late response. After 3 months his status changed from refused to ready to administrative processing, and finally issued. So I say you might have to wait for a while. But I also reached out to my local congressman, they can help reach out the embassy of wherever you’re from to help speed up the process and it’s free to reach out to your congressman. I hope this helps.
Unfortunately there's not too much you can do for AP, other than hope it won't take too long to get through it.
My husband got put in AP when he had his interview back in March (Almaty, Kazakhstan), and the visa was issued after almost one month. We just had to wait, and checked the status each day. When it changed from "Refused" to "Administrative Processing", we knew the end was near, and the next day the visa was issued.
So I had the our immigration lawyer message the embassy and I personally have messaged the embassy as well. However, We both get the same response “your case is currently under AP, once we have new information concerning your case we will send you an email with an update.” It’s frustrating but I guess we have nothing but to wait 😞
I wanted to address the negative attitudes we have seen on the rise recently in the upper/ immigration forums towards those who ask beginner/ simple questions, or have unusually fast or slow VisaJourneys.
First, there is a tone difference between the Progress forums- which are mostly for support and cheerleading, and the Info forums, which are mostly to have questions answered. While all our forums are supposed to be welcoming to all and friendly, this is especially important in the Progress forums, which are not to discuss politics, or be negative towards those fortunate to have their case dealt with quickly, or critical of those who voice sadness about their own slow progress. These forums are there to uplift eachother!
Secondly- in the info forums, you may get bad news. When a question is asked, our members are encouraged to answer truthfully, even if this may not be what the Op wants to hear, because it is important to be informed. However, the emphasis is still on being welcoming and friendly. If you need to give bad news, do so gently, and stick to facts; constructive criticism of the Op's plans ARE allowed, but the emphasis is on constructive. No need to dwell on mistakes (or tell members they should be on 90 Day Fiance- that is a personal attack and automatic suspension), or illegal actions in the past- instead, encourage and explain legal options for the future. And ONLY legal options- as per our TOS, VJ does not support, condone or encourage illegal (immigration) actions, and such posts will be removed.
Ultimately, we are here to help all members, old and new, easy cases and complicated, those who write a fact filled bullet point post and those who are panicking and don't make much sense in their first post. Yes, sometimes questions can be easily googled, or answered via a search of our forums. But if you feel that way, just scroll past- no need to criticise the OP for asking the question.
