Стандартный подход, когда в AP был длительный период времени ... запрошенные документы должны быть актуальными, следовательно, запрос на новые медицинские и полицейские проверки и т.д. твой паспорт заставляет меня думать, что нет 

Thanks for the answer:) Could this mean that they are giving us a visa soon?

Hi everyone!We got this latter after 1 years on administrative processing. Has anyone gotten the same thing during AP?Do we will need second interview or no?

No, they haven't been working during COVID.  This is why people have had their cases transferred to other countries.  

I mean they working now. Just one girl from administrative processing group chat got visa after year...it seems their lawyer won the case

What would you file a lawsuit for?  The US Embassy in Russia has been closed because of COVID.

It's up to you to continue the K-1 or marry and file for a spousal visa.  It would take 12-24 months to get a spousal visa during processing.  Longer with COVID.

 

You need to be patience and wait for the US Embassy to start visa interviews again.
 

 

 

No, they working

Hello. My interview was in January 2020 and administrative processing has continued since then until today (reason not reported). Then my fiance and I met in another country in November 2020.  It so happened that I got pregnant by my fiance. Now we don't know what to do ... file a lawsuit against U.S embassy(which is very expensive), or get married, or wait. I need some advice🙏

I am assuming Hanna is the beneficiary and is in Russia. Her fiance is a member of the US military stationed at Fort Drum, yes? I recognize written English from a Russian native. I was married to one. 😃

Haha😂 And yea hes US military at Fort Drum

To be fair, I'd guess that for the last few months they couldn't have issued your visa anyway, but it's pretty surprising that they hadn't before the COVID-19 related routine visa processing suspension.

Yes we are really confused of everything. Covid-19 makes it worse. And we don't know when this will all over. My fiance is a soldier. We even turned to the senator, but they could not help anything

Usually in the context of a K-1, when people talk about "administrative processing" here, they're talking about post-interview administrative processing at the embassy/consulate.

 

Extended (aka more than a week or two) post-interview administrative processing isn't common in Moscow (the nearly two weeks from my wife's interview to shipping her visa to her was on the long side for a K-1 beneficiary there there), but isn't entirely unheard of.

we have been on administrative processing for almost 7 months...😔

       Hello!😊 I want to ask where is administrative processing conducted? Uscis or the embassy? 

Hi guys!How long was your case in administrative processing in Russia?

If you were to upload a picture of the 221g with your personal information blocked then we could give you a better answer. Without details we can only give you general information.

 

No one can say with any certainty when your visa will be issued. Administrative processing is at its most frustrating when it goes on for several months. Typically this is caused by a consular post waiting for a response on some form of advisory opinion. Although, as was experienced in 2014 and 2015, processing delays may also result from system failures in the Consular Consolidated Database (CCD) and more recently due to additional administrative hurdles such as the recent flurry of executive orders regarding visa issuance. We have seen some who have experienced very long delays sometimes beyond a year. But those are rare. I hate to sing the same tune but patience is what is needed.

 

So using CEAC this is what you will see just after the interview:

 

When the Embassy is ready to issue a visa, it will change to "Nonimmigrant Visa Application"; at that time, you will know that you are a few days away from getting the visa. It will go from "Immigrant Visa Application" to "Nonimmigrant Visa Application" status and then your visa changes to "Ready" ==> "Administrative Processing" ==>> "Issued" status as well. These steps sometimes transpire over a day or even a few days. Some smaller Embassy's it happens within hours.

 

Sometimes, it might skip "Administrative Processing" and go from "Ready" to "Issued".

 

Just need a little more patience.

Thank you very much for responding to my question.  Now immigrant case status: immigrant Visa application.  And by nonimmigrant: No status.  And in 221g it is indicated that they dont need any documents and the reason is administrative processing.  My fiance is an army man, maybe this is the reason.  Or  that I have been living in Korea for 2 years.  We met with my fience there.

What was the reason stated on the 221g ..has  additional documentation been requested ? 

Hi! No, without reason...

Hi everyone!My interview on k1 visa was 01/15/2020. After the interview they gave me 221g paper and kept my passport. And after that the status of my case changed to 'Administrative processing'. Did anyone have this? and how long can it be ?

Everyone goes through AP. This is a normal process. Each embassy is different some sake longer then others. Because we don't know your embassy it's hard for us to opine. No once say with a certainty when you will receive your visa. Just have to have a little more patience.

 

We need a little housekeeping on your end. Many of our answers are predicated on the information you supply in your profile. When we look at the left column and can't determine your timeline OR your Embassy it's hard for us to give you a factual answer. Our answers will sometimes be tailored to a specific Embassy hence the reason for you to complete your profile. If you look at the profile of others here, they have a flag for their country, so it makes it easy for us to reply as we can quickly determine their Embassy. The country that should be used is the country where the interview will take place.

 

So, if you could help yourself out and complete your profile that sure would help us out when we want to reply to your question with factual information.

 

Go to the top right of this page select your name (it's on the upper right-hand corner)>my profile>[below your picture on the right column] edit my profile. Scroll to the bottom and fill in "Immigration Info". There now we can better serve you.

 

Once you finish that then return and you will see a flag in your profile. Select it and see what wonderful information will open up for you.

 

Thanks

Yes i changed ☺️

Hi everyone, 

 

My Visa status changed from "Application received" to " Administrative processing" . They told me on the embassy interview that my Visa is approved and they kept my passport.

What does AP mean, How long will it take to receive my Visa and can they change they mind and deny it ?

Everyone experiences administrative processing,  did they ask for additional evidence?  

 

Has ceac status changed to nonimmigrant?

"ID different"? Have you ever used any other IDs, assumed other's names, passports, pretended to be someone else, in dealing with US immigration? 

 

Another possible reason is that you are a victim of ID theft and someone else used your identity trying to get a visa or something. 

 

Can you post the actual paper, black out all personal information?

Ohh im sorry.I mean 'is', not 'id'. Reason is: Different 

Hi

I had my interview  for k1 visa on 15th January, the interviewer kept my passport, then they  are gave me white paper 221g and then  my visa status was under 'Administrative processing'. One the paper reason id Different.
