K1 Visa and Administration processing

[Ghanaishere 2]

Hello everyone, so my fiancé had his interview in Naples on December 5th of 2018, he was asked about 5 questions and he answered all correctly. I did accompany him. After the interview, the CO handed out a white slip and said he needed his police certificate from Ghana too and also a filled out DS 5535. And lastly handed him over his passport. She said it would take about a week if all documents are submitted before a decision could be made. We checked the status and it says your case is currently under  administrative processing and if approved he will be contacted. I know it too soon but I wanted to know if any one has had this experience 💕

The DS-5535 is taking a lot longer than a week to be processed at this time. There is a thread going where others who have been asked to submit the DS-5535 are keeping track of how long it is taking to issue a visa. It seems to take an average of about 1 year now. I hope your outcome is different and it does only take a week or so as the CO said, but I would also be prepared for a longer wait.

Thank you for the reply and we are hoping for a shorter wait time because I have to return to the US and it kind of faustration looking at all these wait times. I appreciate the kind reply.

I wouldn't make ANY solid plans....this is likely to be an extended AP.

Yes he was interviewed at this location

It is more difficult for a foreign Consulate to process an application - takes longer.

[Ghanaishere 2]

What does that mean? Like foreign to process an application mean?

The Italian Consulate knows about Italian procedures, would not know about other Countries so will need to refer like anything else things out of the normal take longer.

So how would they print the visa in his passport if they gave his passport back to him?

Agree.  That's why I told her this is likely to be an extended AP.......hopefully, I'm wrong.
