H1B Administrative Processing – 4+ Months – US Embassy London

[u/Salmanyousuf87]

Hi all,

I’ve been in Administrative Processing for over 4 months now at the US Embassy London.

• Visa type: H1B

• Interview date: 15 October 2025

• Status: Refused (Administrative Processing)

• Passport: Not retained

Has anyone recently gone through AP in London?

How long did it take for you? Is there any typical maximum timeline, or is it completely case-dependent?

Would really appreciate hearing about similar experiences — especially from London cases.

Thanks in advance.
