Asked on Sep 03rd, 2013 on Immigration - Virginia
More details to this question:
My husbands case info says "Your visa case is currently undergoing necessary administrative processing. This processing can take several weeks" It has been processing since MAY 2013!! Who is in charge of administrative processing? Is it the US embassy itself or the Dept of Homeland Security? When I contact the US Embassy they tell me to just wait, how long?? Btw-its the US Embassy in Kabul

That language, though vague, usually means they are conducting additional security checks on the person. It usually takes about six months to complete such checks, but I have had rare clients where it has taken years. The security checks are conducted by other government agencies. There is nothing you can do to speed up the process.
