"administrative processing"

[lwilson 0]

I had my interview at the consulate in Montreal on July 8 and was approved for the K-1. My status changed July 18 from Ready to Administrative processing. Reading the posts, this seems normal but the site says that only the odd case goes to administrative processing and may take 60 days to resolve. What is this all about? any ideas?

Far as I know it's part of post decision activity, shouldn't be that way long once you were approved.

i had my interview on july 8 too and was approved but my status says AP also. ive been told its a normal part of the process they put you on AP while they get everything done so the visa can be printed.

i wouldnt worry too much about it especially if youve been told youre approved it hasnt even been 2 weeks since our interviews

we got our interview on july 6. and check the status on the CEAC website and it still said ready when choose Immigrant Visa and input the case number we get status READY... when we choose NON Immigrant Visa and input the DS160 Case number.. we get a NO STATUS.... I had my GF.. goto the consulate but nothing.. I had her send email nothing... feels like we are in the dark...

I will call them up again next week if I do not hear anything or maybe will have her pay a visit to the US consulate in her country to find out whats going and and when will she get her passport back.

i always check my status in the immigrant visa option.

perhaps they have many visas to deal with after the problem they had, so it will take some time for our visas to be issued

Hi everybody!

I had the interview today and CO said I was approved but at the website it is saying Administrative Processing.

I am worried because I have read many foruns and people saying that took more than 60 days to solve it.

Any tip?

Don't worry that is normal I think. I had the same thing. in my case, the following day the message changed to say "issued".

I kept checking the Status everyday.. and these few days I noticed that the dates updated from the CEAC website.

my status went from NO STATUS for almost 2.5 weeks .... to READY 4 days ago... and NOW its in Administrative Processing... in a matter of 2 days also my fiancee faxed the US consulate in her country a note asking for status and why its taking so long.. and they called her back and advised her that the system was being upgraded so the process is slower then usual. but they did say that they are working on her visa and that is should be ready by friday for pickup....

finally this process is almost ending and we will start another process once she is in the US.... cant wait until she get her hands on that visa lol...

Hi everybody.

My changed from AP to ISSUED today!

I just stay one day at the AP. I think it is a normal procedure but I've read many people stayed in AP for a long time that I got worried.

I hope you sove your issue too and good luck to everybody.

Checked my status today.. it changed from Administrative processing to Issued. I guess the visa should be in my pick up location within a few days.

Good luck everyone else who is waiting... once you see administrative processing... it wont be long and you will see issued... it changed within one day for me.

GOOD LUCK everyone,.. you will get your visa... dont worry.. just a matter of time.
