The U.S. Department of State uses the so-called DS-5535 during the consular process to request missing information from the visa applicant. The purpose of this questionnaire is to assist consular officers in deciding whether an applicant poses a potential security threat.
Form 221g processing takes 7-20 days if no documents are requested and the passport is kept by the visa officer. Form 221g can take anywhere between 30 days to 17 months if the passport has been returned and employer documents are requested.
According to the Department of State (DOS), most administrative processing cases are resolved within 60 days after the visa interview.
Administrative Processing may be applied randomly to international students and scholars from certain countries and/or from certain fields (usually STEM fields) who are applying for a visa. The U.S. Embassy/Consulate may request a security clearance of anyone, prior to issuing an initial or extension of visa.
Upon completion of the case-specific administrative processing, the consular officer might conclude that an applicant is now qualified for the visa for which he or she applied. Alternatively, the officer may conclude that the applicant remains ineligible for a visa.

Visa processing takes approximately 21 workdays from the date on which the application is received by the Embassy.
When a visa application is sent for administrative processing, the visa eligibility has not been determined. After the case comes back from administrative review, and if no problems are identified, the application is likely to be approved.
Administrative processing takes place after the visa interview, and refers to visa applications that undergo additional review or security clearances outside of \u201cnormal\u201d visa processing times.
DS5535 processing can take between 2 weeks to 8+ months. It's a black hole due to the security checks that are sent to various US agencies to verify your profile. Until a positive response is received from each agency, the US embassy will not issue you the visa.
If my application is subject to administrative processing, does this mean my visa application was denied or will be denied? Not necessarily. When an individual is placed in administrative processing, visa eligibility has not been determined.
