Withdrawing L1A individual processing after it was put on administrative processing

[skumad]

Hey guys, At the L1A individual interview today, they kept my passport and put the case on administrative processing. Is it possible for me to withdraw my application and get my passport back, because I do not want to spend months without my passport. Can anyone please let me know the process. Thanks

I would suggest to wait for sometime (a month), hope to get it issued.
Later you can certainly file a service request to get your passport back (no need to withdraw L1 visa application).

Thanks a lot Libra. I though I would have to wait like 6 months without my passport. Never knew I could get my passport back like that. Thanks for clarifying it for me.

If you need your passport, you can request for that even today - Inform them that you need to travel to other country, while embassy will review your visa application & approve. But one month wait is worth.
