10 Months in Admin Processing

I went for my H1B interview (after going back home to visit from the US) in 9/9/08 and still waiting until now! my employer tried everything possible to speed up the process and nothing has worked.

You had an interview at the consulate for your H1B? I've had 2 H1Bs before and I only had to stop by and hand a nice pile of documents over to the consulate and then come back to pick up my passport after 2 weeks...

Have you asked your employer about premium processing? This is only a $1000-$1500 fee and compared to the rest of the application cost (lawyer fees et al) is not that much.
 
now 2 months and i am still waiting ... but yesterday the embassy had phoned me asking whether I had been in Saudia Arabia before or not .... actually this means they are working in my case... but how long they will take ... GOD only knows about this.
 
My case has been on administrative process for the past six weeks since 19th June,so is my case also going to be pending for six months?September is just around the corner.May GOD help all of us.
 
Thanks for GOD, the processes for my case and my friend's case are finaly finished last week ... so wish the Good Luck for all whom waiting for their cases.

I'm sorry but I DO NOT like people to make final notes on a subject when it's clear that every case is diffrent.

Administrative processing....I'll try to start with that from the top.

The word " Administrative processing " doesn't exactly mean a nightmare....Before your interview is scheduled your case goes into administrative processing. And when they are about to stamp your visa your case goes into administrative processing before they stamp the visa. SO the word administrative processing means that they are processing your case or in other words it's not sitting on a desk. They're working on it. USUALLY after the interview there is an administrative processing for everyone which lasts between 2 weeks to 3 weeks and then they send you back the passport with the visa stamped on it. BUT for certain countries with alot of flagged people. Or with countries that has secuirity issues or countries that has no american cousulate or embassy. They require to do another background check. and that takes ( if you have nothing wrong and if your name didn't match anyone else who has problems ) takes AROUND 45 BUSSNIES DAYS which means 60 days. A minor delay here and there. So if you are from a country that fits the description EXPECT (not be sure ) that there might be a delay of a MAXIMUM of 3 months if all is well.

I don't like people who say it all takes more than 6 months JUST BECAUSE your case took more than that. Trust me I want you all to finish this process and be joined with your loved ones or start your jobs but this is process. And remember that you cannot protest. This is their country and they do whatever process or check they see nessecery and it's their right. Stop compaining about America when you want a visa to go live there. Wrap up your life in the place you are in now and wait patiently because once it's finished , It'll all turn to a joke and you and your families will have a great future in the United States.

By the way, I am a citizen of Iraq who lived in Sudan. And my administrative processing took 1 month and 26 days EXACTLY. And I'm going to talk for my fellow citizens. Administrative processing for Iraqi citizens is not similiar to other nationalities. It's called Special Administrative Processing for Citizens of the Republic of Iraq. Which is basicly a Background\Security\Name check. Rumor has it that the name check has been stopped but it's not sure. And max time for that process is 90 days which is 3 months. Also Iraqi citizens have the option of applying as refugees to the united states while doing their process but with limitations and certian eligibilities.

I hope everyone finishes their visas and process and enjoy life in the United States. Because the second you land in the United States, You'll forget about whatever suffering you had with your case. Don't let hate grow and don't complain. This is the last step of your process. Be paitent and before you know it , It'll be done. Just don't put your head into it. And I wish everyone the best.
