Fraud

• Many visa applications in administrative processing are red flagged because an immigration official suspects the applicant of immigration fraud, according to Integrity Legal.
  
  

Previous residents

• Some applications are put into administrative processing because the applicant previously lived in the United States and is suspected of having committed a crime on American soil, according to Integrity Legal.
  
  

Other cases

• Other applications in administrative processing have already been denied and need to be sent to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration before the case can be closed, according to Integrity Legal.
  
  

Applicants

• The best way to ensure that your application is not flagged for administrative processing is to fill out a well-prepared, honest application, according to Integrity Legal.
  
  

Visa Waiver Program

• Applicants in administrative processing can apply with the Visa Waiver Program. If accepted, you'll be able to enter the U.S. while your visa is being processed, according to Capitol Immigration.
