Administrative Processing

[chris_onyi 0]

Hi all, 

 

Today (2/14/23), my fiancee had his interview in Napoli, Italy. Both my fiancee and I are Nigerian born. I am a US citizen and he is a permanent resident in Italy. He is currently waiting for his approval for his EU passport.  However, his Nigeria passport will be expiring in December 2023, which is more than 6 months. He will be renewing his Nigeria passport tomorrow (this was the original plan). We collected and provided all the documents we need for the interview. The interviewer collected his passport and told him, his application requires administrative processing. There are no additional documentation needed from us. I read online that the processing takes up to 60 days (somewhere said it might be longer). Is this true? Has anyone experience this doing their K1 process in Italy and what was the outcome?

 

There is an email on the paper that the interviewer circled. We do not know if the interviewer wants us to email them. The problem is we do not know what to email them since they did not ask for additional documents.

Many who are not natural born citizens of the country they interview in,  go thru extended AP for additional security checks

 

no additional documents checked so email is for your info

All the year dates are 2024 not 2023.

Correction: 2024 instead of 2023.

Update

After 19 days of the initial interview, I received an email stating the visa application documents are ready to be picked up :). My fiancee  picked up his passport and visa attachment today. We are all set for him to move to America.
