K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reportslittle problem with my visa
I dont understand how they work.
You were approved on march 6 and today is that they see that bc is missing?
Omg, maybe the people that print the visa work for the dominican governement or are polititians. Jajaja
Here in dominican republic , people who work for governement are lazy, and dont do their job good, maybe at thedominican consulate there are dominican working, and they think that are working for the dominican governement.

If she is at DR still, best option is no wait for answer, and get marry now, and start rhe process for I-130
If they were interviwed at window 13, they willl denied at uscis.
Best option is dont waste time waiting uscis answer and get marry now.
If they get marry now, they can save time.

No se porque los casos de visas k1 tardan tanto.
I dont know why k-1 visa in Dom Rep takes a long time.

Well that is relative, my case took 4 months to be approved.
It could be faster if my fiance hasnt made a mistake when sent the petition.
All cases are diferents, some are approved faster and other no.

A lawyer doesnt move the process quicker.
My fiance and me , we did the process ourself, and we were approved in 4 months.
He sent the patition on june 7, got rfe on september, october 10 he answered and on october 23 we were approved, on november 14 my papers were to nvc, on november 20 sent to dominican consulate and on december 30 got my interview date for march 18.
A lawyer don expedite the process, the only thing that do a lawyer is fil out and send the forms, the same thing that you did.
All is made at uscis.
Nobody can made that they work eclusivelly in your case.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsRefiling I-29F

Yes we will have to go through the 5 months again but with the help of this site we have far more knowledge now of the process than we did when we first filed. Our denial was due to lack of material evidence for our relationship, two letters that family members of his had to re write and date that did not make it back to the service center on the required date.


Well, when my fiance sent the petition he only sent the form I-129 and the check, nothing else.
Everybody said that we were going to be denied, but he got an intent to deny letter asking for all the evidence lacking, he sent and we were approved in 4 months.
We were lucky



IlovemymanFemaleDominican Republic2014-04-19 08:36:00

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)our case is on ap due to fraud/material misreprestation

hi folks,
 
i married my wife on september 15, 2012 and filed a petion in november, 2012. my wife received a letter to go in for interview on march 19, 2014. both of us were at the interview, very nervous and the co asked us a lot of questions. i think we only got about 50% of the questions right, then came the letter from the co stating that according to the evidence obtained during the interview and from the documents submitted, the co did not believe that our marriage is genuine and the petition will be sent back to the usa on fraud/material misrepresentation ground. the co said that i will take 2 months for the petition to get back to the usa and he didn't know how long it will take before the uscis or nvc contact me regarding their decision. i checked the ap status update and it says:
 
" Case Creation Date: 26-Aug-2013, Status Updated Date: 28-Mar-2014 " 
" Your visa case is currently undergoing necessary administrative processing. This processing can take several weeks. Please follow any instructions provided by the Consular Officer at the time of your interview. If further information is needed, you will be contacted. If your visa application is approved, it will be processed and mailed/available within two business days. Under the U.S. Immigration and Nationality Act, Immigrant Visas for "Diversity Visas" cannot be issued after September 30th of the year in which you were selected to apply for a Diversity Visa. For example, entrants into the Diversity Visa Program in Fall of 2011 were selected for Diversity Visa 2012 Program, and selectees MUST apply and receive their visa prior to September 30, 2012 otherwise they lose eligibility to receive a Diversity Immigrant Visa, regardless of additional administrative processing. In addition, please note that some immigrant visas may not be able to be issued if the annual numerical limit for that category has been reached."
 
 
in the mean time, i've already talked to a lawyer and he suggested that i should submit more supporting documents such as affidavits from friends and relatives stating that our marriage is genuine and more proofs of our relationship. the lawyer also suggested that i file a new petiton and pay all the fees again. any of u guys out there in the same situation as me? what are your suggestions?
 
thank you and good luck to all










Dont waste your time sudmiting documents now.
Your petition will be sent to uscis again and deny .
After that you can apply again.
But now, nothing you can do, you have said that you only answer 50% of questions, for the co that is a fraud.
And get prepare for the second application to be inquire

Good question, of course that you dont 100% your wife or husband but how one couple with a real marriage can only answer 50% of questions made.?
That is strange.

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)Sdo-who are in ap at the dominican consulate and why?

My fiance was approved back in December 2013 and til this day he is still in AP! Why? Have no idea. I have called, e-mailed the embassy and their response is when they are finished they will notify him. Mind you his chest x-ray has expired so he has to re-do x-ray again. So all you can do is wait patiently like we are. Hopefully everything will workout and the wait will be worth it. This is a long, stressful process for some of us. But all you can do pray and wait, and hope everything comes out ok. Good luck and I hope you hear something soon. Hopefully July 15 we will hear something!!!



I see by your prior post that your husband had to do the tb test, the 3 days test.
At least your husband was put in ap for the medical.
In my case I am in the limbo, no missing papers or medical, nothing is missing.
No medical issue, no police issue, no criminal records.

Omg, I thought that I was the only one waiting long time, 3 months in ap.
Did they take his passport? Or did they give him back the passport?
I dont understand why they approved people and put in ap later, before they approved people they investigate people, so I dont understand what they do


they have his passport since February 2014. So now I know from doing alot of reading. They may approve at the appointment, but the you go into AP! I've noticed some people are in AP a short time and some a lifetime. We also paid Domex back in December. Im praying he gets visa soon! It's been a journey!





I hope your husband get the visa soon.
But at the interview what they said to give him the passport back?
In my case they have my passport from the day of the interview.

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)administrative processing

Hi,
My wife had a visa interview on may 20th, 2014 on kathmandu, Nepal. At the end of the interview she was asked to submit the original date of birth certificate in the native language. We submitted it the next day and the she was told to come pick up the visa next week. Next week when she went, they told it will take some time to get her visa. Since then if we check online the case status says "administrative processing". They did't gave her form 221(g) either. They have her passport and all original documents. Now its been almost 45 days. What is this and how long you guys think it will take to get resolved? 
 
Aren't they suppose to give form 221(g) for administrative processing or sometimes they don't? I am confused. Can we call NVC to get more info on the case?
 
Thank you





In my case I had my interview on march 18.
Everything was goog, no missing documents, no 221g given. They took my passport and they said congratulations your visa is approved.
They put me in ap and I dont know why, and no visa yet.
So they put in ap without give 221g.
All we can do when we are in ap is wait.

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)How long until visa Issued?

 
 
I know you are hurting... and feel that you have been wronged. I really hope your visa comes soon... As I often saw you say.. Everything happens for a reason... we may not always knows why at first but in time we know... I can tell you this from personal trials and lessons learned.. The faster you accept whatever the situation is.. and find a way to trust and finally, REALLY Let go....... and Let God.... the faster the resolution comes.. often for me... nearly INSTANTLY!!!
 
 
Try it and let me know...
 
 
I often find that focusing on the good and finding ways to give my gratitude for all my many and mini blessings really helps change my focus.
 
I hope this helps...
 
 
 
LET GO AND LET GOD!

As children bring their broken toys 
   with tears for us to mend, 
I brought my broken dreams to God, 
because He was my friend. 
But then, instead of leaving Him, 
in peace, to work alone; 
I hung around and tried to help, 
with ways that were my own. 
At last, I snatched them back and cried, 
"How can you be so slow?" 
"My child," He said, 
"What could I do? 
You never did let go."

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)How long until visa Issued?


 Hey ILLMM!!! Look what I found while googling!!!!
 
 
9. It has been more than 60 days since I was placed in administrative processing, what 
should I do? 
Contact the consulate handling your application 60 days after the initial visa interview or submission of any additional documents, whichever date is later. However it is important to note the time period for administrative processing varies by country. You may wish to check the consulate website to determine the average time period for administrative processing. If a SAO has been pending more than 90 days, an attorney can inquire via email to the DOS LegalNet within the Visa Office or call DOS at 202-485-7600. 
 
You should have your Petitioner USC Fiance contact them this way and inquire... 








Thanks, but for the consulate that is garbage, they dont care about that.
Here I have red a lot of story about people in ap for years.
When I e-mail them , they answer was that they dont know when ap can end.
For me they are people without heart, that dont care about people feelings.
Here in DR when you go with a fake relationship they approve quicker that a real one.
I know people that go for a tourist visa with their own house, car and bank acount and are deny, and I know people that go with fake papers for house, car and fake job and get approved.
Like fake relationship, they dont investigate fake relationship but the real one they make the life miserable
I am no going to e-mail them any more, or do any inquire.
I will wait a little more, and if they dont do nothing I will ask for my passport back.
They dont have the right to have my passport for long time, even if the usa think that have the right , it isnt like that. All that they do it is because we let them do it.
Ellos piensan que tienen derecho de humillar a todo el mundo.

Thanks for the response. I've just been a little paranoid because of the time its taking. Ilovemyman, I've been following your story for a while and I'm truly sorry that it's taking so long to get your passport back. I hope your case is resolved soon.

Thanks for your words.
Did you see if when your status changed to ready the inmigrant visa changed to non inmigrant visa?
If you are applying for a k1 fiance visa, first the status says inmigrant visa, and when they are ready to issue the visa the status change to non inmigrant visa.
If that if your case, that the inmigrant changed to non inmigrant , you can start to celebrate, because sonn it will change to issue. :)

Goodluck to you dude. In my case my wife was not even gave 221g, They just put it on administrative processing.
 
Does anyone have anything to share about their experience on this administrative processing?


In my case my interview was on march 18, 2014. All was good , no missing papers or information, they took my passport and they havit still. I paid the delivery service for passport. No 221g wasnt given.
On march 24 I was put in ap, until I know without reason.
Never I havent been arrested or I havent had justice problem. Next 24 it will be 4 months on ap, and they dont say nothing at the consulate why.
All we can do is wait.

Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)advice I am under administrative processing for 5 months

 
So then you say you didn't say he was your son, yet you listed him as your child? There is no "cousins" section on a visitor visa. So then why did you list he child.
 
This isn't even about your relationship and marriage its about you lying before to get a Visa benefit.


Exactilly, she listed the child at the tourist visa to try to make co thinks that she had kid.
That was laying, for them she tryed to make fraud.

IlovemymanFemaleDominican Republic2014-07-21 14:18:00
Waivers (I-601 and I-212) and Administrative Processes (221g)advice I am under administrative processing for 5 months
The problem here isnt the tourist visa, the problem is that you put a son that you dont have.
You traid to get a visa using as son of other person.
You say that he is like your son, but your intention at the moment looking for the tourist visa was show to the co a reason to come back to your country.
For them that is a big thing.
If he isnt your legal son , you cant put him in any document as your son, now they need to be sure that in the inmigrant process you havent put others false informations.
