K1 Visa Administrative proceedings 221(g) white form

[JonNor 0]

Hi I'm new here I recently attended my K1 Visa Interview at the Mumbai Consulate.

My fiance is a US citizen by birth and we have met twice in the past year alone. All my papers were in order and I proved our relationship with photographs, airline ticket stubs (as we travelled within India when he visited,) e-mails and the works. While he had proposed last year during my visit to the US July 2010, we had a formal Christian engagement party when he came down to India two months back. The CO was convinced the photos represented a wedding (which is not true at all). Engagement rings were exchanged at a hotel, but a priest was present, who could even testify to the ceremony (they took down his name and the name of the church). The CO even went as far as to say the trip we took within India could be deemed a honeymoon. I explained and said I could present proof that this was not the case as it was before the engagement party and my mother was present on the entire trip for which I can provide airline tickets and hotel reservations etc. However they said it was not required and didn't see the evidence.

After all the questioning I was given a white Section 221(g) form which stated Administrative Proceedings and that they would contact me. No request for ANY further documents or evidence was mentioned. They gave me back my passport (cancelling the existing B2 visa), however kept all my original documents except photographs. The CO said it'll take a couple weeks.I'm worried cos our I-129F petition expires on the 1st of July 2011, will this matter? Do we have to get an extension?

What are my chances of getting the visa? Any idea how long it'll take? How can I check my status? The waiting and not knowing is torturous. Any help or advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!

You are fine if the process runs over because of their actions the petition is automatically extended. In certain countries it just takes them a bit longer to clear you though name checks. For women it is usually shorter than men. Not as many female names end up on the various lists they cross check.
