K1 Visa Status says Ready

[omardagame123 0]

Hey guys. My fiancee was given the 221(g) form and asked to provide a new affidavit of support for joint sponsor. We did but got refused the K1 visa last year in the summer because my joint sponsors income wasn't enough (even though it was). I ended up getting a lawyer involved and all of a sudden they said our joint sponsors income is enough and that my fiancee needs to send her passport, a new medical and letter of intent. She did all that the 2nd week of December and the Consulate confirmed receipt of the documents on 12/19/2014. The case status has been Administrative Processing since then but recently on 01/22/2015, it updated to Ready. I just wanted to know if anyone knew what that meant? It says the case is ready to schedule an interview even though she already had one last year March.

Confused. Is this your original file or did you refile? It's hard for me to believe an interview could've been March 2014 & the same K-1 still be in play.

It's original file. She had her interview March 2014. Originally we used my mother as joint sponsor because I wasnt working at the time. Unfornately they told her my mothers income wasnt enough and gave her the 221g form. They told her to find another joint sponsor and that she has up to a year to do so. We got another sponsor (best friend) and mailed it out roughly in May. This time they refused us for the same reason which was word because he made roughly $10k over the poverty guidelines. We got a lawyer involved and in November 2014, the Consulate told us that my friends income was enough. So they asked for her to send her passport, new medical and letter of intent which we did in December 2014. Since then, we have been waiting.

How will we know for sure though? We havent received an email or anything from the Consulate.

You need to call the embassy. I'm sure that your visa is ready because she done with the interview.

We cant. They arent taking calls for K1 visa cases. We have been emailing them but they take a long time to reply. Last time it took them 2 weeks to reply to an email I sent.

Cases placed in AP can be there for an indefinite period of time.

I already did that. We mailed the necessary documents and they confirmed receipt of it on 12/19/2014. The status of our case was "Administrative Processing" during that time. It just recently updated to "Ready" so I wanted to know what that meant.

It is possible they would want another interview. However, they had you send in the passport instead of waiting to bring it to an interview, so I am guessing the Ready status is just they received everything required and it is Ready for processing. You would need to hear from the consulate to be sure though.

It means that they are finish with your case, they are done reviewing and making a decision and the visa is ready to be issue , if they have her passport they will send it with the visa ( that's if you guys already paid for the delivery) or they might send her instruction on how to pick up the package .

Congratulation.

Thanks, Hopefully thats what that means. We're hoping she gets a letter in the mail this week to verify this.
