I just checked my case status on CEAC and it says Administrative Processing, I don't understand; I clearly ask the consul after my interview and he says I am APPROVED... I don't understand this at all. Had anyone experience the same?

Good! That means that they are printing and affixing your visa to the passport and they are getting the envelope ready and addressing the envelope and making sure the passport will fit in the envelope and checking to ensure they have your correct address so it doesn't go to Bohol or Davao.

It seems they all go into admin processing for a few days so that they can take care of administrative processing procedures and give your visa to the carrier (or if you chose to pick it up, to make sure it is available for pickup).

We had the same thing and I had a panic attack for about 1/2 day, but then i realized that those who were denied a visa left the embassy with their passport in their hands and that ours was approved so there was no reason in hell for it to be in admin processing, other than for the things i mentioned above. In about 72 hours your status will change to ISSUED....but you can stress until then...or take your final trip down to S&M or soemthing fun that you won't be able to do for a while. Enjoy. it will be ok.

Hello everyone! I started this forum for people that will be looking into and filing a I-129F application for their same sex partners. I have to say that VisaJourney.com is an extremely helpful websit

I really appreciate the Biology lesson Paul Elizabeth, but this is completely off subject. If you have nothing about K-1 Visas or I-129F to post please keep your comments to yourself.

Thank you all!!! Congratulations to all new approvals! Most of all THANK YOU VISAJOURNEY! I have to say that I could not have gone through all this process without this site. We were super prepared the whole time. My Fiancee told me a lot of people left the Consulate as she was waiting with Denials or Requests for more information or documentation. Needless to say, she had everything she needed with her because I arranged everything for her based from information on this site. I have been receiving requests from friends for information about the process we went through. I have referred them to this site of course. I am looking forward to AOS once we are married because I know how reliable this website is. Again thank you all and most importantly THANK YOU VISAJOURNEY! good.gif
