K1 administrative process

[M&M13 6]

Ok, I just got out of my k1 interview in the Cairo consulate. The console gave me my passport and a paper saying you need to send these documents to complete the case and checked infront of passport and administrative process and told me wait for our reply. Iam really frustrated after all this pressure all what I get is more waiting time. Does anyone know what this means? Is it a sign for denial? And how long it gonna take or if there's a way to do abt it ?.

 

thanks all,

When they give you your passport back, that's usually not a great sign but it doesn't mean a denial either. Read extremely good what the paper says and deliver the documents they want to see before they approve your visa and put it in your passport.

The console didn't ask for any documents, just marked infront of passport and administrative process and told me to wait till they contact me .i dunno why they gave me the passport and sign infront of required documents!

It means they want you to submit the documents requested.. if you dont submit the requested documents, you will be denied...  submit them and see where the process goes then.. administrative processing is the generic term used for post interview processing... it doesnt mean either denial or approval in the future...it just means more processing is needed...... keep going!, 

They don't ask for any papers just signed infront of administrative process and the passport that he gave me back and told me to wait, do u have any idea about this process or what to do ?

Looks to me they asked for additional documents.

None was signed apart from the passport which was gives to me by himself!! Do they have to keep the passport when they issue administrative process ?

[Dutchster 1,106]

Keeping the passport = good sign
Giving the passport back = bad sign

Does the paper say you need to provide additional evidence/documents? Do you have any red flags in your relationship? 
Age difference? Religion difference? Met just once?

Administrative processing when approved means they are issuing the visa. In your case, it looks like they want more documents.
And yes, you will be getting delayed in the process now. You need to be more clear what's on the paper if you want correct advice.

Not at all our relationship is tottaly true and we are engaged for 2 years now and love each other so much ,we meet 4 times before and we have the same religion and the age is perfect. But Maybe cuz I applied to a study visa before and got denied, Cuz the console asked me abt it. Do u think ya th case ?

Looks like you are under regular administrative processing. It means you have to sit back and wait until they find you eligible for the K-1 visa as the officer did not make a final decision at your interview. Once AP is done, and you are found eligible, they will ask you to send your passport in so they can issue the K-1 visa.

Do you think this is a bad sign to give the passport back I mean is it regular in this case or not ? And how long this process is estimated to take ? Thanks a lot for ur help

Administrative processing can take as long as they want. From a few days to weeks to months to (rarely) years. A 221g white slip is not necessarily a denial but it isn't an approval also, since they gave you your passport back. So yes, it can be a bad sign they gave your passport back but I wouldn't lose hope. 

There might be more to this case than you tell us, we (I) don't know.

My husband had his interview on July 6, 2017 in Cairo also but for CR1 and the console gave him the same paper and his passport back and marked administrative processing and passport The console told him that they would contact him in a month and it's now August 14 and we have not heard of anything. The console did keep chats,photos. There is an age difference. We are not losing hope, but its so frustrating not knowing how long he will be on AP.😢 Hope you get contacted soon so you can be with your loved one.😊
