The Department of State does not allow status inquiries until 60 days after the initiation of Administrative Processing. If 60 days have passed without a decision, visa applicants may attempt to independently contact the U.S. Consulate to inquire about their case, although Consulates are not always responsive to such inquiries. It is important to note that the visa application is at the full discretion of the Department of State, and no outside entity has the ability to influence the speed or outcome. As such, we are unable to submit inquiries on behalf of visa applicants. You may check the status of your nonimmigrant visa processing online here.
Individuals and departments may contact OIS with general questions about Administrative Processing.
