Hi, My K3 case was approved and has been at the NVC For almost 3 weeks. They claim it is under administrative processing, Does anyone know what this means? it is my understanding that the case only stays at the NVC for a couple of days. can anyone help me????

A couple days is common but not always it seems. I have see others take so long. Ours has been at NVC for 5 weeks now. I get the same answer when I ask the operator, "administrative processing". Being what NVC's job is I can only assume that is records checks for you and your significant other. I'm clean as a whistle and the worst thing I've ever been involved with the law is doing 127 mph in a 55. Hehe. Well maybe my name matches some bad guy and they have to break out paper records to verify. Who knows, but I wish this wasn't such a mystery. I think if you petition you have the right to know exactly what's going on with your case.

Hope this finishes quickly for you!

Is Administrative Processing same as as Administrative Review?

Diana,

I think, Mary knows a lot about AP Vs AR. I know what it means in Embassy. AP is given when they need additional documents, need to perform the security check for clearance. AR is given when they are doubtful about a marriage, relationship.

Thank you all for your advice, i'll just have to keep waiting
