Administrative Processing 221(g) time required

[shyammenon]

Hi all,
I attended the B1 interview at New Delhi on April 26th and was told that further administrative processing is required. It has been 6 weeks now and I havent heard from the consulate.
As I need to travel immediately and queries to the consulate havent been forthcoming ( they give the same response that I will be contacted once the checks are done), I would be grateful if I get answers to the following queries.

1) How long does administrative processing take on an average?
2) Is there any way to contact offices in India or in the US to know the status and the time required and if so what are these numbers?
3)Is there any way to raise an exceptional case if there is an urgent need to travel when the application is under administrative processing?

Hope someone has the answers. :confused:

No one can answer that question for you because as the embassy has stated checks take time and they take place in US for all those cases all over the world, so be patient and try to postpone your travel, nothing else will really speed it up. Also why did they put you under thaty check, are in the military, research etc?? maybe that info will help us assist you.
