The U.S. H 1B visa encountered administrative review. How long will it take?

The administrative review of the American embassy has made many applicants who have been reviewed talk about "review". Because there are many uncertainties in this audit: not sure whether it will pass, not sure how long it will take, not sure where the passport is, not sure whether the audit will be conducted in the United States? These four uncertainties of visa administrative review in the United States and how to shorten them.

One of the uncertainties: I am not sure whether I can pass the visa after a long period of examination.

Since the embassy has decided to examine the application, it must be because the applicant has some problems, the materials have problems, the previous record in the United States is not good, and the purpose of going to the United States is not clear. So will such an audit pass or refuse the visa? This is really uncertain, but because the visa officer of the embassy did not immediately make a decision to refuse the visa on the day of the interview, it is still very likely to pass. As for whether there will be new unfavorable conditions in the audit process, we must make preparations in advance.

Uncertainty 2: I am not sure how long the embassy will review it.

Because it will be audited, it is impossible to end it immediately. Moreover, the number of people audited by the American Embassy every day is very large, and you are not the only one. And there will be a lot of departments and information to verify when auditing: you may need to verify your situation with American companies, you may call companies in China, you may call your relatives, you may call your colleagues, and you may send someone directly to your company. There are too many things to verify. Customs records inspected by the US Immigration Service, the US Anti-counterfeiting Department and the Department of Homeland Security. So such an audit is really uncertain. If you want to know where your audit is going, do you need to continue the audit?

Uncertainty 3: I am not sure where my passport is at the time of review.

This situation is worrying for many applicants who are eager to use their passports. Are their passports from China or the United States? I may have read someone else's article that the passport is also in the United States, telling everyone that the passport is in China. The American embassy does not need to bring a passport to the United States, and there is no information on it.

Uncertainty 4: Not sure whether the audit will be conducted in the United States?

If necessary, the American embassy will send the applicant's information back to the United States for review, which is why the review time will not be very short. There are a lot of materials that need to be verified in the United States, such as the companies of business people, the schools of American students and the companies of American workers, so it is normal for the audit to be carried out in the United States.
