The State Department said it has reduced the time required for “administrative processing”— additional screening that must be undertaken before a consular officer can approve a visa application.
Key Points:
BAL Analysis: BAL saw an uptick in administrative processing last spring, but in the months since then the State Department has taken steps to reduce the burden on applicants. Not only are fewer cases going through administrative processing, but those that do are often resolved more quickly. BAL will continue to follow this trend and will provide updates as information becomes available.
