Administrative Processing 9+ months, any suggestions?

[Tsetseg 0]

We filed for a K-1 Visa for my Mongolian fiance, which was approved by the USCIS March 2019 and sent over to the NVC.  We've been together 5 years while she was in the US on an education visa, and have plenty of documentation for our relationship, and this piece only took about 5 months.

 

My fiance had her interview at the Consulate May 2019, and with no real explanation it was placed on Administrative Processing.  The only explanation given at the time was "they need to look at more stuff".  We have emailed a few times asking for an update, and get a pretty standard form response stating our case is in Administrative Processing, with no other information given.  I even went back to Mongolia, asking to speak to someone there myself, to help or provide any information needed, to no avail. We haven't been flooding them with emails, but trying to politely email every few months.  We're getting ready to send another.

 

Does any one have any advice or ideas about what might be going on?  Any help is much appreciated; we're going a bit crazy wondering why it's taking so long.

 

Thanks!

All cases go through administrative process before approval.  Some cases and some countries require longer periods.  There is nothing you can do except wait it out.

Kijan pou li ta fè plus ke 4 moi no way it’s the law and NVC must follow regardless how busy they are you can expedite your cases if they pass your deadlines if they told you all documents been received and you on the line for interview as a us citizen from the date you received the email, it’s will not take more than 3 months  to received interview date

Hi missleman, yes I understand there may be some delay after the interview, but 9 months is extravagant. There were other candidates getting an immediate approval the same time she was waiting for her interview.

 

Kethla, yes we did have the interview in May 2019, and that's where she was told it was being put on Admin Processing.  We've been waiting 9 months on Administrative Processing after the interview.

 

Sorry, just frustrated...

I think you misunderstood the OP.  It is for a K-1, and they've already had an interview.  Now in AP.

I resubmitted too. They rejected the Tax return because pur attorney uploaded a W2 with it. It’s two documents in one section. It is really frustrating. Uploaded April 17 same day it was rejected. Still waiting. I guess it’s the same 2-3wks again before they open it. 🤷🏻‍♀️
