Did you email them or call to the embassy after submitted documents? 

Rahul,

 

I hope you get yours also soon and wish you all the best. I just saw that the status shows ISSUED for my fiance. I feel sorry for you that you are sitting there for 1 month and have not even submitted your passport. I wish you and pray that you get it soon buddy. I am sure it is frustrating. Now, am not sure whether I should fly my fiance direct to Hawaii and whether the CBP officer will wonder why she is landing there and not in Chicago if her residence is in Chicago. As, we have all the proof of marriage and plans and paid for everything in Hawaii.

I would make her carry a lot of evidence that points out that there is a marriage happening at hawaii and that she is the bride.

I think you will be fine, as long as she explains what she's doing there and preferably has something to support it.

 

Don't forget you'll need to get a marriage license on time. If you were getting married in NY you would've had a hard time making it (offices are closed Sundays I believe, and 24hr waiting period is required after issuance). Hawaii at least does not require any mandatory waiting time after the license is received, which works in your favor, just make sure you can in fact get the in-person meeting with an authorized agent on Monday morning.

You should not resign from employment, sell property, or make final travel plans until your visa has been issued and you have the passport and immigrant visa package in hand.

 

That is posted so many times /  actually UK posts on its US embassy site

and it is frequently talked about on here

The US embassy in Mumbai actually has a rather extensive section on all types of visas and Under K1 directs you to the Department of State Site which fully explains AP

sorry this is upsetting your plans for the wedding but all of us here know immigration is now so much slower as they are now dealing with over 6 million applications a year

when he finally gets here ,  have a happy and safe life

and remember to keep all documents till   citizenship is finalized

Yes, we already applied for a marriage license in Hawaii and I have proof of payment also and email confirmation which was done in February first week. We are supposed to go there and get it on Monday morning.

Yes, I already spoke to an agent there and they are aware. They asked us to come at 7:30 am and collect it and it would not take more than 30 minutes.

I am planning for her to take the earlier booked tickets that were cancelled for her trip to Chicago, and then her trip from Chicago to Hawaii. All the marriage documents in Hawaii etc... and also our hotel bookings. As, i would be there outside at the airport, but all that I need is that she comes out. I can even book her flight from Hawaii to Chicago now and send that to her to carry. But as we know that she can only enter once, and it should not be a problem for her to fly from Hawaii to Chicago domestic without any issues by just showing her passport and her boarding pass. I will be there with her.

If they take your passport and they ask for easily obtainable evidence, it's because they don't expect it to take long for YOU to submit it all. If they ask for something like a joint sponsor or stronger evidence that may take a while to obtain, they will give the passport back.
But by no means is it a good way to judge how long they will take.



With that said, explaining the wedding timing is great and all, but they don't care, and if they feel like there was any kind of pressure being put on them for a fast approval (such as: Oh boy I sure hope this is back by blah blah date for our destination wedding!) then they could easily take their sweet time.

AP means a couple of things, processing the documents you sent, background checks, and/or any other data entry they may have to do before your case is completed out.


Super-Quick timing for 221g processing should be considered AT LEAST 2 weeks from the date they receive. 

It's 3 weeks is going n still waiting

Hi we got our Visa the status shows ISSUED. So, she should be able to go pick it up or have it by Courier BY TOMORROW.

Don't buy another ticket or assume anything until she has the passport with visa inside, in her hands.  Status on website showing issued is not visa in hand.  I really hope it works out and you can get married as planned.
