AILA (American Immigration Lawyers Association)asks: "Members observe an increase in the frequency of lengthy “administrative processing” for NIV applicants from the PRC, where there is no TAL issue (e.g., an L-1A for the manager of a coffee company). Are natives and citizens of the PRC now subject to Special Processing Requirements?" US Department of State Visa Office responded: "Processing requirements for Chinese applicants have not changed. However, some applicants from China have always been subject to clearances (e.g., immigrant visa applicants). In general, most clearances are taking longer to process now than they did before September 11, 2001. " Excerpt From AILA InfoNet at Doc. No. 02100340 (Oct. 3, 2002)
