I went for the k1 interview yesterday. I submitted loads of evidence and the interviewer asked me a lot of questions about my recent travels to Nigeria and Kenya.

She asked if I paid a dowry to my fiance's father during our engagement party (which was just a party), I said NO, then she remarked that it was good i didint because then i wouldnt have to apply for the K1 since we would be married if i did. My birth certificate is Nigerian but I am a Ghanaian so I explained that my parents came back to Ghana when i was 3 years old.

She asked about a few pictures and said she loved two of them and would even like to keep them if i agreed, Every thing seemed to go well. She asked if we've made any wedding arrangements and I said we were looking at sometime in March next year. If my fiance was an america by birth, I said YES, where she was born, how many siblings she had, if her parents have ever been to ghana, I said yes cuz her dad came for the engagement party.

After all the questioning, she told me she had some work to do on her part and that she will call me. She gave me the 221g form, ticked Administrative Processing and instead of a date she wrote "WILL CALL".

I'm a little confused now about how long i have to wait.

Has this happened to anyone else and what do you think?

It seems the majority of cases at the Ghana embassy are being given AP. My fiance and I were lucky as we got approved, but most people I have talked to on here have been given AP with 'will call.' I hope your wait time is short and you all are approved soon! Hang in there!

Hi,

I live here in Canada under a K-1 Visa application. My interview was last May 2014 and put under AP since then. They asked for more Evidence of Relationship which I sent our "bulky evidence" on July 2014, until then not even an update regarding that matter. They only updated it when they replied to our email stating the same thing which is to "wait"!!!! We are so stress but we can't do anything but to wait and hopefully get approved soon!

my Fiance had his first interview on 12/9/2014 he was given a 221G and told to come back 1/15/15. no further evidence was requested. He was called an told to come in 1/5/15 and then it was changed to 1/7/15 because of computer issue. the lady counslor did not ask for anymore evidence even though he had more emails an letters an phone records. she told him she was not conveinced it was a legitimate relationship. she gave him another 221G that said we are unable to issue a visa because the above application has been found ineligible under the 221G. I checked our status on CEAC website an it says Administrative Processing an it was updated on 1/8/2015. Im not understanding what is going on or where to go to now. Do this mean we are totally denied ? or is there still a chance of approval? if someone has some guidance on what i should do I would greatly appreciate it im desperately trying to understand this. We where thinking of getting married an filing I130 but are we stuck an can we do anything else or do we have to wait for a final denial?

It sounds like a denial for lack of bonafide relationship. For whatever they did in the time of your AP they have convinced themselves that you have failed to convince them that you are a real couple. My own experience with this is from Nigeria, where they sit on the thing long enough to have it be expired and send it back to USCIS, who if you wait patiently will send you a letter saying you are free to refile. You can try to get it held and reviewed by the head of the post ( although they supposedly already reviewed the denial ) If you want to try do not waste a moment and get your representative involved right away. The other ploy if you wait is for them to say it is already been sent to post.

This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this.
