IR1 Administrative processing
Hello everyone , my husband had his immigration visa interview today , everything went fine he went super prepared with all the documents they requested , nothing was missing , however towards the end of his interview the officer gave him a 221g letter stating that the visa was refused and he needs to answer few questions he will get in the email which it was the DS5535 .. we completed the questions and submitted it today .. does anyone knows how long does that process take? location is US consulate in Vienna ..

From Google: DS5535 processing can take between 2 weeks to 8+ months. It's a black hole due to the security checks that are sent to various US agencies to verify your profile. Until a positive response is received from each agency, the US embassy will not issue you the visa.

@summer 123 the officer said i wish i can give you the visa today but we need to complete the security check .. she said we will send few questions in the email and its the exact same questions on the ds5535 im guessing because my husband was born in the middle east but he has a citizenahip from Austria !

Hi. has your husband receiving his visa yet?
Did the embassy take his passport already?
My husband was also placed on AP at the interview. 1 week later we took the missing documents in and at the time they also took his passport. it’s now been 2 weeks.
