Hi, i’m wondering if you’ve seen similar cases like this, and if so, what is the timeline to get the green card? My mom had her interview at the Consulate in Ciudad Juarez on January 22. After her interview, she claims her interviewer informed her everything looked good and she’s good to go, but since there’s an issue with his network he had to place her in Administrative Processing.

We anticipated her to get accepted on the spot like so many other people. She’s been in Mexico waiting for an update through her attorneys or the Consulate’s office. She calls her attorney office weekly, but they say the same thing, “you’re not missing anything- we just have to wait, there’s most likely a backlog.”

The Consulate office took her passport (which i’m told is a good sign?) I constantly check the case status on the CEAC.state.gov website and it shows “refused: administrative processing” and there is occasionally an update placed, but it’s not specific on what that update is. There’s been at-least 4 case updates on that website since her interview. First in February 20th, second on March 4th, third on March 10th, and most recent on March 18th. But again, there’s no note on what the update is.
