K1 Interview APPROVED..but the PASSPORT is still at the consular section...

I'm going through that same situation. It's been 27 days now. Still waiting patiently.

Ive had my K1 interview last Sept.12 2013. It's almost a week now and my status hasn't changed. It only says READY but Ive gone w/ my interview and it has been approved. Ive checked my passport but still on post wc means it was still there at the consular section. I was wondering if they needed more documents or evidences from me. My interview had gone smoothly on that day. The Filipino consul told me at the last window Ive been to, just to wait for my passport to be delivered and I may now go. But my question is why they havent updated my status. If its on AdMINISTRATIVE PROCESSING I should've seen it on AP .But until now my status are still on READY even I was gone w/ my interview already. And if they needed more documents or evidences they should've handed me a green paper or 221(g) form but they did not. So my question is, is there anyone here who experienced the same case like mine? how long it would take? and how the process did go? Is there anyone here who can enlighten us ? pls. Thank you. Any answers is highly appreciated.

Hang on girl!

I have a friend from the other group... it's been 5 months now, they are still in "AP" status. They passed the embassy interview with her kid (K1/K2). By the way, no 221g slip were given to her. They keep emailing and calling the USEM but not giving a definite reason about the issue. The couple are too depressed now.

Keep praying that your status will change. This process is very stressful to some.

The embassy states in their instructions letter that it can take up to two weeks for delivery of the visa AFTER issuance (not interview date). Be patient ... It has only been 4 business days since your interview...

Im just worried like today yes they updated my status as of Sept 19 2013 and still hasnt change still on "READY". Ive had friends in other group and actually were alot and have had all our interview done on the same day and theyre visa's were all issued now.. just thinking what could it be? why mine is taking for so long? and I'd be glad to see it on "AP" rather than still on"READY" :/

this is really sad, honestly i could wait but the problem is my fiance's approved leave. so if couldnt make it on time he would not be able to pull out another leave til next year and proly my visa then was expired :'(

They've not updated your status

because

the visa packet is still being put together.

This takes some time,

and there is a queue for it, as there are hundreds of visa packets to be put together.

Relax, you.

When the visa packet is finished, this putting together, it'll get lobbed out to the mail room inside the IV Unit, and eventually a 2GO delivery van will show up.

Wait, relax, go easy.

I hope thats all they gotta do. coz if theyre goin to take it for months or so , I dunno anymore and my fiance would not be able to pull another leave til next his leave got approved and thats were all worrying about

5 months?? but why?? Mine is still in AP and it's been 7 days since my interview, but I'm hopeful to hear from USEM soon. It's case updated date is today, September 29, so crossed fingers the visa will be released soon.

Good to hear yours atleast on AP status... but mine still on READY...??? why..what are the possible cause for them to update it but still on READY? this is actually depressing :'(

She said the embassy is not giving the any reason. Well, the call center people only reads what is in their screen. They are only telling that it is still on AP status. They even use RapidVisa to help them with the process. They keep emailing and calling the USEM from time to time, still no update. This is so frustrating on their part.

Hopes up sis! Don't get depressed I know this is really stressing us all out. Let's attract positive vibes and think that we'll get our visa soon

Congratulations!

It usually takes a week or month for them to send, just wait and relax.

I just really hope we all get done by this soon. Just cant help to worry alot about this. And its been so long since we havent seen each other too. And I know most of you can relate. We just all wanted to see all our love ones right away esp. if you havent seen each other for a long time.

We have a similar situation. They told him he was approved, kept his passport and said his visa would be issued in 2 days to 2 weeks. Now it's been more than two weeks and we just learned we are in administrative processing. I am really regretting letting my parents plan a $25000 wedding. Because we aren't going to make it.
