Hi! I really tried to look for a similar situation that we are in currently here in VJ but some were outdated. My Fiancé had his interview in USEM last August 7, 2018 after having to undergo a sputum exam that delayed our K-1 process which thankfully resulted negative! He had a really good interview experience and the American consul was very pleasant to him, only asked a few questions and looked through our proof of relationship (nothing else was asked), a few minutes after she told him that he's visa is approved and stamped his paper, congratulated him and gave him pamphlets of so and so (our delivery address is already registered online when we made the schedule for interview). Our Visa status immediately changed to Administrative Processing after his interview and it's been AP since Aug.7 but the case was updated on Aug.9 still AP, is there something I should be worrying about or is it something normal? Thanks in advance!

Hopefully you have the 2go tracking number.   His case should update on the website after they review the documents.
 
I suspect your youngest brother may not be able to get a visa for family reunification as his petitioner, your father, does not "domicile in the US".  Just having dual citizenship is not enough.

My recent timeline:

A week 

We finally got an update after 186 days!!! Yay!!! How long does it usually take from that update to receiving the card combo and SSN?

Thanks so much! I actually received that exact wording today but it was in response to the AP request. The EAD request was the one where I got the reply on Friday, so now I'm not sure whether they're declining both or whether the EAD is still under review...hopefully my congressman's office representative will be able to get more details. 

Today marks 6 months since we were married! Trying to enjoy that while chasing USCIS about our expedite request...hoping this week brings good news for lots of people! 

Called to expedite earlier, received an email just a few hours later that acknowledges my request, and then says this:
 
"The status of this service request is:
We received your request to expedite the decision on your application. Your case is currently under review. You will receive a decision or notice of further action shortly. "
 
Anyone with experience expediting know whether this means they don't want evidence because they're already dealing with my case today, or whether they're gonna ask me for evidence soon? 
Sending good vibes to my December friends from sunny NoVA! 

Very pleasant and friendly tier 1(!!) just helped me file an expedite request for both AP and EAD, based on severe financial loss and a job offer. We'll see what happens...

December 5th here. And still no updates on my me EAD/AP.. AOS is ready to be scheduled for an interview for like 21 days now. I’m wondering how long it will take change to “Interview Scheduled” from North Carolina here. Charlotte is my Local Filed Office. 

Yes. File I-130 for them that's what my dad did to all of us (minors) except my mom (not married).

My father is a citizen of Us, I am the first petition of my father and now we want to get my brother and mother. my mother and father are married. what is the faster process to get them? File a I-130 for them? Thanks

Good thing you don't work at the border. You sound like the nightmare customs and border patrol agent looking for an excuse for terrorizing a grandmother for visiting her grandchild.
This is pretty clearly not an employment contract, but family visitation.

Actually, a letter from OP stating that he will provide for MIL's needs while in US, combined with some assets (house/condo) will work quite well.

10-year multi-entry tourist visa (is that what you mean by "traveler's visa"?) works well--and my MIL has visited twice (Nov 2008-May 2009, when Pras was in ROC; and Apr 2011-Oct 2011 after Pras was naturalised).

VOH 9/1/18 (PINAS)!!! Thank God! ☺️

Hi! That's totally fine. Thank you. You can e-mail your embassy to inquire if there is anything else they need or what not, that's what I did since his review took longer than normal (more checks done probably) but no additional docs were asked and he was approved on the day of his interview, though they didn't reply to me until it was issued yesterday. Try and see what they say. Good luck and I pray you get yours soon. God bless. 😊

Good NEWS!
VISA ISSUED as of 3PM August 28 (Manila Time). My fiancè hasn't received any e-mails yet regarding the tracking or confirmation of his passport being sent but I received the e-mail as a reply to my inquiry a week or 2 ago saying that they have issued him his K1 Visa (CEAC status also changed to ISSUED). Thank GOD! We're now just waiting for more confirmation and tracking once it gets delivered to our chosen 2GO branch. Thank you all and wishing everyone else gets the good news as well. 😊
 

CONGRATULATIONS
God is good...
I AM VERY HAPPY FOR YOU
Praying to receive ours soon.
🙏
Do you think that I should send an email to ask about it ?
How long after you knew that it was in AP you requested information about the visa ?
My interview was on Aug 14 but Ive sent the requested docs on Aug 21.
Sorry for asking alot
 
 
 

Waiting good news anytime soon.
Praying to receive the visas.

Dont worry everything will be fine soon and you will see your ISSUED at website.
My interview was on Aug 14, the CO asked some questions as:
How and when you met eachother
When you get married and where
If we had party after married
Then he said you are approved but I need a Joint sponsor forn I-864 for you,  even my spouse as my sponsor  qualified for that and NVC aproval the docs.
I've sent by email the reqyested docs and received an Email that they had received and are now reviewing.
Praying to see ISSUED soon.
Dont know long it takes.
Keep me posted if anyone else has similar situation let us know.
Dont forget that God is with us and we will win and get our passports soon with our visa.
Amen

Yup normal. We were approved and sat in 3-4 days of AP. Nothing out of the ordinary. Hopefully your's is brief also but some can be extensive and take awhile.

This is normal so don't worry about it. 

Congrats!
 
This is normal. Every case goes through some form of AP before being issued. Usually it's a couple/few days, although it can be longer if additional background checks are necessary or something. It's been less than 2 business days, so there's nothing unusual at this time.
