avukaj,

how did it work out for you during your second interview?

What is the process of a refugee leaving their safe country  to American for a K-1 Visa? Do they have to pay back their safe country for services? I heard that they do in Germany?

I think it's okay. Just make sure he has his Gambian passport. Also, he will need secondary proofs of Identity since he doesn't have full permission in Italy. ...Birth Certificate, school records..etc

I am in a similar situation

Yeah, the consulate just asked for my fiance's passport and some ID's  March 15,2018. We sent them in on the 19th. They updated on March 20th. Crickets. No updates, nothing. Why did they request his passport if they aren't issuing his Visa already? We've been in AP since October 12, 2017. 

Hopefully they will issue your visa this time. Has your status changed?

Nice topic. I think once people get approved and issued visa they wont come here to comment.  It would be nice to know though for the rest of us waiting for AP to get approved. My husband was issued AP two months ago pending approval. No updates yet.

I think they do that too. So sad. Good luck to you!

This has been quite a journey; Pursuing a K-1 Visa when your fiance is an asylum seeker that lacked a passport, and birth certificate. With the German ID  (with incorrect information), and Iraqi ID,  my Iraqi -born fiance was  told by the Frankfurt consulate to send anything. He was given a 221(g) at the interview because he lacked a passport. Consular officer told him to get a Travel Document from Germany (This is only issued if you have permission), Finally after a 1-year the Iraqi Embassy send his passport. By that time, our petition expired so we had to interview AGAIN! 

Now we are in AP- Why because they cannot establish his identity, even with a passport and Iraqi ID--- They didn't even specify for what was needed to correct this. My fiance never sent his birth certificate. We emailed the consulate, they said they'd review his case when he can establish 100% who he is.
