Our interview was Jan 18th which is the date of the 221g. We submitted our documents on 25th of Jan and were approved 29th. The sad part is India has been having massive glitches! We got the email on 29th stating our passport was ready for pick up but we never left them our passport. We got this email again on Feb 2nd. Both times we called and they would say it's glitch. We finally emailed them Feb 14 and they replied Feb 15 that a packet was there for us since the 2nd!!!! We got the letter asking for our passport. We submitted it on 15th of Feb and had visa in hand Feb 26th. 

Very fast!

Ok thanks I submitted my documents on 13th February but they didn't take my passport now I am waiting they will email me for a request for passport after my interview I am still in Mumbai and I am staying in the hotel but still administrative processing

You should not resign from employment, sell property, or make final travel plans until your visa has been issued and you have the passport and immigrant visa package in hand.

 

That is posted so many times /  actually UK posts on its US embassy site

and it is frequently talked about on here

The US embassy in Mumbai actually has a rather extensive section on all types of visas and Under K1 directs you to the Department of State Site which fully explains AP

sorry this is upsetting your plans for the wedding but all of us here know immigration is now so much slower as they are now dealing with over 6 million applications a year

when he finally gets here ,  have a happy and safe life

and remember to keep all documents till   citizenship is finalized 

 

 

It's going 3rd week and I am still in administrative processing and it's my immigrant visa

If they take your passport and they ask for easily obtainable evidence, it's because they don't expect it to take long for YOU to submit it all. If they ask for something like a joint sponsor or stronger evidence that may take a while to obtain, they will give the passport back.
But by no means is it a good way to judge how long they will take.



With that said, explaining the wedding timing is great and all, but they don't care, and if they feel like there was any kind of pressure being put on them for a fast approval (such as: Oh boy I sure hope this is back by blah blah date for our destination wedding!) then they could easily take their sweet time.

AP means a couple of things, processing the documents you sent, background checks, and/or any other data entry they may have to do before your case is completed out.


Super-Quick timing for 221g processing should be considered AT LEAST 2 weeks from the date they receive. 

It's 3 weeks is going n still waiting

Rahul,

 

I hope you get yours also soon and wish you all the best. I just saw that the status shows ISSUED for my fiance. I feel sorry for you that you are sitting there for 1 month and have not even submitted your passport. I wish you and pray that you get it soon buddy. I am sure it is frustrating. Now, am not sure whether I should fly my fiance direct to Hawaii and whether the CBP officer will wonder why she is landing there and not in Chicago if her residence is in Chicago. As, we have all the proof of marriage and plans and paid for everything in Hawaii.

Oh congratulations this is good news for today and thanks for preying me god ll bless u n ur fiance and good wishes for both of you

Yes, they took the passport also. This must be only based on the instructions from the Officer correct? Otherwise they would not have taken the passport? Usually, I see many people they take the documents and then they after 2 weeks or 2 days they then ask for passport. But my fiance they took the passport.

OK then he should get visa very soon if they took   your fiance passport because they didn't take my passport with documents and I am still waiting they going to request me for passport and I am waiting for reply but I'm sure your fiance getting visa very soon

Did you email them or call to the embassy after submitted documents? 

3 minutes ago, Emily2015 said:

Yes, same except for Work Address. I just gave my W2, I040 including this years tax filing as I filed Jan end so I was able to send it. Then Tickets, Boarding Pass,  Our marriage plan, as we already scheduled our marriage in Hawaii NEXT MONDAY, but it has to be cancelled as we were flying out this Friday. Then I provided the wedding plan, guest list etc... I told them that my guests are going to be here in mainland who are going to come for my reception. Then, i gave them my bank statements, pay stubs, and many more docs. My savings etc...

Are they just making it difficult because of T?

I think they going to check everything and maybe you can get visa soon but I don't know how much soon and it is very slow procedure after the interview I'm still in Mumbai and I am just waiting I am staying in hotel and it's been month here and what is your status showing?

So, the interview got over on 21st, then we submitted additional documents to the drop box location in Mumbai on February 25th, as per the requirements by the Immigration Officer.I think the documents were submitted to the US Consulate on the 26th. The CEAC status was in READY. then from 4th it said "APPLICATION RECEIVED" and now it is showing as "ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSING". 

 

When we send for Passport Status it was an automated reply stating "The passport has been delivered to the Post". Now, we send an email we get "There is no status update available for the passport number submitted".

 

Anyone has been through this? I am just so tired as I never slept for almost 2 weeks staying up in the night and talking to my fiance to see what is going on. Also, our wedding was scheduled for 11th, and it all is screwed up now. We cannot have our wedding.
