Administrative Processing

[Omotunde 1]

Hello House,

 

I just had my Immigrant visa interview yesterday and i was approved. The VO gave me some document on where to pick up my passport with the approved visa. I checked my status today and to my surprise am on AP. Does anyone goes via the same process?

It typically goes into AP until fully processed (visa printed and attached to passport).  Then status will change to "issued".

Thanks Greg. I will just wait and check tomorrow. Plz do you have any idea on Green Card processing and collection. I was given a paper to pay a certain amount for the green Card.

 

Thanks in anticipation.

The $220 fee to produce your green card follow the direction. It's paid online after you pick up Visa. You can pay before you leave Nigeria or after you arrive your choice.

If she got approved, depending on the country, If Nigeria, you will be given 3 papers starting where to pick your issued passport up, How to make green card payment and other legal document.

Check your status again later in the evening.

What were the questions the Consular Officer asked you?

i paid the payment on pay.gov..the counselor only ask for the I-864 affidavit of support. and it was not sufficient told her to tell me to find a co sponsor.. my wife then ask the man do you want our pics or proof of relationship the counselor said no I see you 2 have a baby together and already did CRBA the guy was super nice im assuming he didn't ask much cause we was under expedited process and senator was involved. so once I had my uncle as a sponsor we used his real estate assets and SSA benefits from him I filed out everything scanned it and emailed it to my wife on jan 15 and on jan 16 she sent it to embassy via 2go courier and on jan 21 AP processing updated and said issued and Jan 22 my wife received her visa in her passport.. I booked her and our 16 month old daughters ticket already as well shes already got her CFO sticker did that last night her arrival is Jan 31 at 7:20pm Knoxville TN. I thought f you receive a 221g that you would do another interview but no the USEM Manila was super nice about it and very leanient on the I-864 they didn't even count my daughter they did on mine but my income wasn't counted cause its SSI good thing I did the CRBA for my daughter I thoughtit would be 4 on I-864 so even with my uncle I was worried but nope all we had to show was 25,525 if it would have been 4 we would have been short on the I-864 even the day at interview they explained to my wife what to do and what to show. since we did the CRBA  that's the reason my kid wasnt on my uncles I-864.

Congrats on your approval! Our case was approved for expedite as well. Did your wife have to bring I-864 form with original signature or were scanned copies of I-864 accepted? Thanks for the reply.
