[philipe 0]

Hi, i`m an usc and i`m married to a wonderful colombian lady!!!!....i have been living in colombia for the past 6 years and just recently we decided that it was time to go back to the states, on january 13 /2009 i petitioned a cr1 visa and was approved on that day, went back to our city and 2 weeks later we received an appointment letter for her final interview!!!! up to here everything was going well....on february 26, we went to the embassy and waited for a couple of hours....finally the consul called her and asked 2 questions, 1 about our son and 2 about when were we planning to go back to USA, my wife looked at me and smiled, at that moment i said to myself WE GOT IT!!!! but all of a sudden, she pulled out a letter with the 221g box checked and had no more information on it!!!......i went back to the window and asked her what was wrong and she just smiled at me and said ``don`t worry everything is ok and i believe that your marriage is legit but we are going to put your case into an internal administrative process, you wife will be notified when this process is over!!!!!!! WHAT!!! ARE THEY KIDDING ME??? HOW CAN THEY PLAY WITH PEOPLE`S FUTURE LIKE THIS?? this is just insane......couples that are married because they really love each other, have kids and have a whole life together!!! those are the first ones to get the run around!!! my question: how long does this process take?? and what are they looking for??? i would appreciate any help or advice i could get...please i`m frustrated and confused!! philipe

They are not playing, they are checking out your bonafides, and if they check out, you will get the visa.

A lot of people get put into AP (additional processing) - nothing to stress over.
