Mike and Larissa,

Congratulations and good luck and happiness. It is encouraging to know you made it thru administrative review in short period of time. We have been in review since March 20, so now I know there is hope for us maybe soon! -jordoc

Well, our K-1 approval package made it to Moscow Embassy from NVC about the middle of March only to be put under administrative review , with no interview date as yet. (lucky us) . I finally got answer to e-mail that it has been sent to Washington for clearances to be completed. When I call or e-mail, it is the usual "it is still in administrative review". I am resigned to the fact after all my research, that no answers will be forthcoming , no time frame, no reasons given. 2 Senators, and 1 congressman send requests , but same answers. I will continue to send e-mails , and call. I will be polite. Like everyone that goes thru this, we are disappointed in the system and discouraged that we can not make plans for our future. We invisioned to be married by July here in states but know that will probably not happen now. This is my first K-1 and her 2nd. She has been to states last year on k-1 but returned well before visa expiration date. I am 19 years older but we are both over 40, so no big deal there. Neither one of us have any criminal history and are good citizens of each of our countries. They say sometimes it depends on who gets your package at Embassy and can pick out anything to send for further clearances.

I will be going to Russia to meet my fiancee for the 4th time in May and thought about going to Embassy during the visiting hours to check on status while there in Moscow but was told they will not discuss visa problems there in person. Anyone know? Also when I send my e-mails to Embassy can I send pictures of us if I want too? Has anyone done this?

Is there any reason why she will not get her interview ?

I guess in Washington , they can do simple FBI check or run the gammet of agencies check. We just hope that what we thought was routine will not become our nightmire as others have experienced. maybe all is well and will hear something in a week or so. Then again, maybe we will still be lonely and longing for each other for months. My filing date was Dec 6, 2006.- jordoc-

After inquiring at moscow embassy again about interview date they say another 3 weeks to several months! They said it is under administrative review which is not unusual. My visa approval from NOA 2 says June 21 interview date will the deadline. They are now booking interview for June 13 and have passed our case number on line by several numbers already. What could this mean? Everything was routine up until this point. So much for being able to make plans.. How long has anyone waited for administrative review on this board and what was final outcome? will they still have interview but just take a long time to get there? -jordoc

I sent k-1 application Dec 6,2006. NOA2 was sent to NVC Feb 27. NVC sent hard package to Moscow approximately end of March. Many MOS numbers (and WAC #) that were sent after ours have been being posted for interviews for June. My 4 month period for visa ends June 26. Why do they approve interview dates for some of those so quick, and not others? What is the mystery here on straight forward cases? What do they have to do further to complete processing. It seems like they just randomly process the package rather than in numbered order. There is only the "call back in 2 weeks, it is processing, with no details as to when" . Any info or experiences? thanks- jordoc

So now that we have received our NOA2 and I have graduated from obsessive compulsive checking the USCIS online case status numerous times a day (and am now checking DHL courier site in the same way), should I just delete the petition on the USCIS site? Is there any reason to keep it up there?

What has everyone else done?

I just received NOA2 in e-mail and waiting for snailmail confirmation. How can I check progress now by DHL courier.? Thanks. jordoc
