The reason they have put your fathers visa under "Admin processing" is because they need more details. You can't reply saying NA because in that case his visa will be rejected.

Now a days Visa officers have started putting visa application of applicants whose profession is related to military, scientist, research, medicine, etc. under processing as they need to ensure that the applicant was not working on some chemical or drugs which was hazardous.

Reply with relevant details and his visa should be approved in a months time.
