Administrative Processing for Renewal of B1/B2 Visa

[coolman578]

Dear All, I got my first B1/B2 visa 10 years back and since it is about to expire now, I applied for renewal of B1/B2 visa few days back. There were no questions asked, only fingerprints were taken and was told, "your visa is processed, you may collect it in 2-3 days, you will receive a message and email informing you on same". Now when i checked the status of visa, it says it is under "Administrative Processing". The problem is, I got charged with "Wet Reckless ( reduced form of DUI in 2007)". I cleared my dues then and have visited USA many times afterwards without any objection.
My question, would being booked 10 years back could hamper in re-issuing of visa? What are my options? what could i do besides waiting?

Your help would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

Today, i received an email from consulate that my "Passport is ready to Pick Up", but when i checked the Status of Visa, it still says it is under "Administrative Processing".
Does anyone have any ideas what is means? Is my Visa denied/ it still under processing / they haven't updated the status at their Website?
Anyway, going to find out tomorrow anyhow.

Mine case is same too, i also have my renewal for B1/B2 visa but it has been 3 days they changed to Administrative processing so far no contact from their side and the passports are still with them.

Sometimes either they do not update the site with proper status or do mistake with the status.
