K1 visa approved but administrative processing

[Debkay 3]

Hallo guys,

I had my k1 visa interview on November 2nd at the Nairobi embassy and was approved. I was even given an approval letter and a small booklet containing my rights as the fiance to a U.S citizen. The CO retained my passport but told me to wait for two weeks for the visa to be issued because they had to verify my police certificate. It has been three weeks since the interview but there has been no update on the CEAC website. It says my visa case is undergoing administrative processing. This is really getting to me. Has anyone been through this? Please share your experiences. This is really frustrating.

between that, I forgot to ask you sth regarding your visa status @ ceca website. did your visa creation date change? and visa status turned from immigrant to nonimmigrant? or still AP immigrant with just status update?

Nothing has changed, not even the creation date. My visa status still reads the date of the interview and is still AP immigrant.

they they r still reviewing ur documents and verifying everything before the issuance of the visa. once you see that 2 signs mentioned to you in the earlier post changed means your visa will be on the way to u.

all the best for u
