hello,
My Fiance filled out k1 petition on Dec 13, 2021.
Approved by USCIS on Mar 17, 2023.
Transferred by NVC to the embassy on Jun 20, 2023.
My interview was Sep 12, 2023.

after that, I was put in Administrative processing and the embassy emailed the DS-5535 form to me,
after some research online I found DS-5535 is extreme vetting and could take months to finish.

I have seen encouraging cases of this AP done in two or three months and horrifying cases that took more than 17 months and the only way out for some people is A (writ of) mandamus which costs between $4k to $7k with a lawyer and also seen some people wasting that money and judge dismisses their case.

I was wondering if anybody is going through this AP in Egypt for a k1 visa, please share your journey.

thanks
