Submit documents requested. As you are doing research (I believe you are a postdoc) you are put on administrative processing. You have no other option other than submitting the requested documents and wait.

I did not due any post graduation like PHD. I just did masters. so submitting all documents related to my masters program.

But Can anyone suggest usually how much time it takes to clear this issue??

Also if any one went into this issue please let me know what all docs were submitted and what is the update on the case??

There is no specific time limit for administrative processing.

Not to discourage you, but just wanted to share one of my friends scenario, he went to India to get his H1B extension stamped and was under administrative processing for 18 months, the only thing which was working in his favor was that he was not struck in a foreign country and was waiting at home.

 

Well that was a worst case scenario, but I have heard of situations where the processing takes about 15 days to a couple of months.

 

What did the officer tell you about the expected wait time ?

[uppuluriv]

he did not tell me any expected time. He just asked me to submit the docs related to my field of study. 

What actions can be taken if it takes much longer to get this clear??

Can any one suggest??
