Urgent Help | Parents VISA decision

[bittu218]

My parents went for the VISA interview yesterday at Delhi embassy. Both of them went to the same window at the same time and Dad was the one who answered all the questions. The outcome is that my mom got the VISA but, for my dad they told that they need to do some additional administrative processing and returned his passport & Draft.

I need guidance in trying to understand the situation and to understand the prospects of my dad's VISA app. Will appreciate it as we do not know what exactly this means and what type of situation is this. We are kind of stuck wherein one has VISA and another does not and they cannot travel separate. Either both will travel or noone will travel.

Kindly repond to the following questions:-
1. What does the "Additional Administrative Processing" mean and what type of processing/enquiry is done?
2. How long does it take for this process to complete?
3. What is the process followed? I mean, how do I know when the process is complete? Do I need to get in touch with the embassy or someone else to get clarity on the status of this processing?

All responses/previous expeirences will be appreciated.

thanks & regards
Bittu
