Hey all, i asked about my case earlier but now after reading a bit more about Administrative Processing I'm left with some new questions. Interviewer never mentioned the words "administrative processing" or give my fiancee a 221g form, they give gave her the passport back after the interview and told her "because you are getting married in Maryland then living in Louisiana we need to check with the lawyer if that is ok, We will contact you to tell you when to bring your passport"

Then when i checked online status is says Administrative Processing. So my questions are:

1) A.P. with or without 221G, whats the difference?

2) A.P. with keeping passport vs returned passport whats the difference?

3) Do the words "administrative processing" get mentioned during interview?

4) They kept all other documents except the DS160 confirmation page

u have to w8 bro i am also w8ing i hop in 3 months it will b done

its normal you have to w8 for 3 month every thing will b alright

I don't know why we are still at NVC. They won't tell me. All they say is AP AP AP AP. It's like a broken record!!! Our status says "at NVC". It isn't supposed to take this long to be sent to the embassy. No one else that I know of is having this problem. Our NOA2 was 10/20 and received our case number 11/5. It's as if our case number was assigned and then our petition just disappeared.

AP is the most frustrating thing ever, I'm in AP after interview and I'm very frustrate, I can only imagine how frustrated you must be. Hang in there, want is your plan of action at this point?

Hey all, its day 5 for A.P. for me.

Im wondering what you guys see when you check the status using your DS160 confirmation number. Mine shows "No Status" with the date of the day we filled it out. When I put my NVC case number I get "Administrative Processing" with the interview date on there last.

Hey Syunny0125,

Wow... February 2!!

I'm about to send back the DS-2001 form tomorrow at the US Embassy of Paris and I was dreading that type of interview date....

Did you also have to send the DS-2001? Did they get back to you fast??

We were hopping with my fiancé to be together in January... I guess that will not be possible... What about your NOA2 date? Can't you email them and explain that you need a closer date?

Let me know, we are on the same boat in Paris

Marie

I was originally given a 1/25 date, then i emailed the Embassy explaining that by then our I120F petition, medical, and police records would have expired and that I got everything as specified and as quickly as possible. They emailed back letting us our interview was in two days.

Thanks! great information guys

How long do you suppose my case will take?

I know it is allowed BUT MY CASE was still put on Administrative Processing because the consular wasn't sure and wanted to check with legal. Hopefully we get an answer soon

We were.... Got Approved this morning!

Congrats! When will you travel ?

I'm still in AP, I'm praying for an approval before Thanksgivig

Who is interviewing this week?

Hey All,

My fiancee had her interview today, all went well except for the end. [backstory- my fiancee is 17 and in Louisiana her dad will have to be present at court, but in Maryland the father's written consent is enough, so we decided to marry in Maryland, thats were my family lives away way]

The consular wasn't sure if that was legal so she wanted to ask the lawyers and asked my fiancee to come drop off her passport once she gets clarification from the lawyer that what we are doing is ok. She didn't mention anything else, she told her everything else is good. Im checking her status now and it says Administrative Processing, is that the reason? isn't that always for background checks thou?

I am sorry about this little delay. But hey, at least it's not a denial!! It will resolve super quick, I am sure!

I hope so. I tried to email the Embassy with an explanation and a copy of the laws that say its allowed, but i get an automated response saying "high email volume..blah blah blah.... if your case is in administrative processing we will not reply to your email...blah blah blah..." Ive never received an automated email from them before, strange

Interview --> administrative processing

They said they need to check with their lawyer because they aren't sure if it's legal for us to get married in DC but live in Louisiana.

Reason is, she is 17 and in Louisiana her father has to be here to consent vs in DC (where my family lives) they accept written consent. I checked the Louisiana laws and we are all good!

Hope this resolves quickly

I read that K1 fiancée are eligible for social security numbers. I also read that I should wait two weeks from date of arrival before going to the social security office to apply. My question is when you apply do they give you the "number" right away? I understand the actual cased takes two weeks in the mail

OMGSH!!! Congratulations!!! Now pack your bags and be with your lovey!!! Will you make it before Thanksgiving? If not then happy, happy holidays to you!!!

SuperSaiyanVisa, you're next!!!!! ???

I sure hope so. I feel like once we get a few approvals the ball is going to keep rolling and the thread is going to fill up with approvals

I had the interview thsi morning and I am APPROVED!!!

Can't wait to reach my baby!!!!! I am so excited and happy!!! *_*

I wish to all of you a great journey and end

YAY that is GREAT, very happy for you. What will be your plans now?

btw we got our interview re-scheduled from 1/25 to TOMORROW!!! pray for us. Do they keep your passport if approved? give you a slip? I hope you don't mind elaborating on that point a bit.

Again Congrats on being the first approval for September

This might be a dumb question but, how do you get legally married in the US?

I will not have a religious ceremony, So do I just show up at a court house and request to get married? Marriage certificate vs licenses ? Court ceremony, do I need that?

How do i retrieve a FULL copy of my DS160. I know the website says all you need is the confirmation page but I'm worried because the Embassy package states "Form DS160 Nonimmigrant visa electronic ............. Once filled, please print a copy and submit it on the day of your interview"

OMG!!! Embassy called to re-schedule our interview from 1/25 to 11/19..... That's two days from now instead of two and half months

OMG!!! Embassy called to re-schedule our interview from 1/25 to 11/19..... That's two days from now instead of two and half months

In transit interview on the 24 of Nov ?????

Congrats, i wish all Embassies had similar turnarounds

I contacted the Embassy November 5th and told them i had everything ready for interview. They gave us our date today 1/25/2016. I think that is absurd, almost 3 months!!!!!

What the average wait time for interviews?

If everyone will please reply with date ready for interview to interview date in a similar format to below

Day interview requested/assigned/ready: Nov 5th

Day of interview: Jan 25th

Embassy: Beirut

interview date not until 1/25/2016 My vacation ends on 1/18

I emailed the embassy to see if there is an earlier slot, anything else i can do? keep us in your prayers

I made a post just above yours whereby I outline the steps to retrieve your DS160. Did you miss it?

yea sorry i forgot to mention that i saw your post and tried it, but after filling the information : "5 letter surname" "year birth" "secret question" "application#" I hit submit but the page ever changes, its not an internet issue i have a strong connection, i keep hitting submit but nothing opens

How do i retrive a completed DS160? i never got the conformation email
