Re: 9 months in Admin Processing for a B1/B2!

He did get an approved ESTA but never used it to travel to the US. Thought it was safer to wait for the visa than to go there and be returned home.

Re: 9 months in Admin Processing for a B1/B2!

Just a quick update on my case: there is absolutely no update!!!

Re: B2 Visa, Administrative Processing, Traveling under VWP etc

I wonder what happened to the OP. Did you fly using VWP? Or did you have to wait for visa to be granted?

Re: 9 months in Admin Processing for a B1/B2!

Thanks everyone for your feedback and insights. I guess there is only one way to find out if they can travel to the US.

Is anyone aware of any other cases (perhaps someone on this forum) where a...

Re: 9 months in Admin Processing for a B1/B2!

Given the sorry state of America's bureaucracy, I wound't be surprised if he was denied once again. But the difference is this time he's applied for a visa (i.e. provided more information about...

Re: 9 months in Admin Processing for a B1/B2!

True, but the same applies for when you have a valid visa. There is still no guarantee that you'll enter the country. But is there any indication that he is now 'less likely' to be let in due to his...

Re: 9 months in Admin Processing for a B1/B2!

The question itself is confusing, but the end result is the same. ie. they've stated that they have had a visa refused. Now once a 'Yes' answer is given to this question, and the application shows a...

Re: 9 months in Admin Processing for a B1/B2!

He answered Yes and stated the port where his ESTA was revoked (ie. Melbourne).

What's really strange here is how DHS clears him, thus granting ESTA, but not enough to resolve the Admin...

Re: 9 months in Admin Processing for a B1/B2!

Considering that Nelson Mandela was banned from the US up until about 5 years ago, it shows how the system is broken.



Sure, but 9 months for an Australian seeking a B1?

Re: 9 months in Admin Processing for a B1/B2!

Thanks for the feedback. You are right, but here's how I think about it:

Either X is not eligible for a visa, or ineligible. Either way, I suspect that it shouldn't take 9 months to answer that...

Re: 9 months in Admin Processing for a B1/B2!

"Odd" pretty much sums it up (plus a pain in the a**!)

Any idea why the applications aren't just denied? That's the part that gets me.

They've traveled to the area, as they have traveled to some 40 countries, including the US many times (on VWP).

Re: 9 months in Admin Processing for a B1/B2!

That's my point. Had they been from Pakistan or Sudan, sure. But Australian citizens (born and raised) just doesn't seem like it would be the norm.

So, I take it that a FOIA is not available to...

Re: VWP Extensions.. Is there any way?

So I can definitely change status from B1/B2 to E3 in the US? Some web sites suggest that such a move could be conscrued as fraud, etc.! Is that true?

Re: VWP Extensions.. Is there any way?

OK, the B1/B2 solution seems good because it's a more flexible visa. Does anyone know what limitations/advantages this type of visa offers v. VWP?

Thanks

Re: VWP Extensions.. Is there any way?

Thanks to everyone for their insight.



I guess this does mean that if my B1/B2 visa is denied I won't be able to use VWP to enter the US again, right?



No, I did not send any email...

Re: VWP Extensions.. Is there any way?

You're right.. But I figured that it was just easier to fly to the US as opposed to apply at an embassy and face the risk or refusal which, then, means I can no longer use the VWP.

Re: Good Question.. Overlapping Visa Types: E3 or R1

Just to confirm, though, R1 really has no benefits over E3 and is more difficult to obtain, right? This kind of makes the E3 the undisputed champion of all visas for Australians wanting a fast and...
