Legal Question in Immigration Law in Minnesota

Administrative processing can last for weeks or even years. If case is in administrative processing, it might be because there are some security clearances still pending on a foreign husband.

I-130 is not a visa. I-130 is an initial petition only. Approval of the I-130 doesn't always mean that a visa will be approved. If the case is in admin processing it means that NO visa was approved yet.

P.S. If you are an attorney - this forum is not for you. You can post at AILA message board if an attorney and a member of AILA.
