Sound like there is slight concern a lawyer will assist in easing that concern. I do believe that having a lawyer dot your "i's" and cross your "t's" is helpful in the process, but they do not give the same attentiveness you would give a respond to the next step in a timely fashion.
If the funding is available and your concern outweighs the lack of money, interview several lawyers to get a feel of who best fits with you and your situation.

I highly reccomend that you do not use a lawyer unless you have money to blow and time to waste. He delayed our process and gave very little attention to the errors of his ways.

You really only need a lawyer if there is a problem with yoru case.

If you have been married for some time and have spent a lot of time together, doing things normal married couples do, don't worry so much. It will be okay. All these people want to know is if it's a genuine marriage and you really love each other. That's all. I'm sure it won't be a big issue. smile.gif


We have not had the time to do all those things because I could only spend 6-7 weeks max in Nepal at a time - in 2 years of marriage we have been physically together for a little over 3 months crying.gif


That is more time then most petitioning couples. It is a good amount of time considering the expence of traveling.

So sorry to hear this. It is cruel and unfair for the US government to separate families.


US government do not separate our type of families. We chose to create a family or choose a love one with someone who is not a resident of the us. If you think the separation is cruel, then you created this "cruel" situation.

We are going through a process that is used to protect the United States from fraud & terrorist. Although the process is not perfect or efficient, it has a purpose.

I was not happy my husband was put on AP, but I am grateful that the Embassy did their homework to prevent someone from defrauding the US or me. Just think... If I dated someone from the US I could have never had such a back round check.

Lets not make the proces any worse then it already is.

They kept his passport so when they are done the AP, they can put the Visa in it. In your country when AP is done the call the beneficiary to tell him AP is done/complete and he can come pick up his Passport/Visa.

In my husband's country they do not take the Visa, because they call for a 2nd interview, which left us still hanging on and wondering. So I would feel confident that they took his passport.

Keeping his passport is a good thing.

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresMy husband just had his interview! Help?
They took his passport.. That is great news. Not guaranteed news, but encouraging. Means from the interviewer's perspective everything is legitimate.
AP is common in your country. just a term that means they have some more paper work to do, extra background checks, and possibly documentation verification.

4-6 weeks is what they typically say to not alarm the person in their presence. Interviewer feels not obligation to the beneficiary. It is typically 4-6 months but can last up to over a year. Please ad your name to the AP tracker. This also has other people who are on AP for support and additional information. Please click the link below to visit this forum. AP Tracker

It can be very discouraging to hear this news but it is a fact of the process that more people need to acknowledge.

Okay so my husband just had his interview, the immigration officer said everything was fine, all our documents were in order and we had more than enough evidence. Then she gave him a piece of paper that said administrative processing and also said it takes 4-6 weeks,and handed him back his passport and said he can send it in when he receives further notice from the embassy. Then he told the officer that he needs to be in the USA with his wife and newborn baby, and she asked him if he will be traveling soon, which his reply was no, so she kept his passport and still said everything looks fine. Is it a good sign that the immigration officer kept his passport????

No my lawyer that we hired mailed our items in late. It takes me discovery VisaJourney to realize that he was taking his time wth our time sensitive docments. Took him one month to tell us about the NVC fee needed. Then we over night the check to him and he take 3 weeks to mail it to NVC. I paid to delay my case. My husband should have been here by Decmeber 07 or May 08 with the AP. He couldn't have come at a better time. And only would he come at that time.

Hello All,

My wife just went to the New Delhi Embassy for her visa interview on March 16th. The consular asked her numerous questions about When we got married, how we met, who introduced us, what do I do for a living, what company do I work for, where I went to college, what type of degree did I obtain. After asking all those questions he looked at the wedding album. Then he said the interview is complete and handed my wife a white 221g form that just states please bear with us while we submit your application for additional administrative processing. We will contact you as soon as possible. It is not asking for any documents or anything. What is this for, and how long are we expected to wait.

When was the interview? Contact your congrass and senator to get the embassy to keep your case. The embassy needs a documented reason to send your caes back. Did your SO answer questions wrong incorrectly, not enough evidence, applied for another visa and didn't discolse the informaiton. These would be reasons not assumptions.

a civil wedding requires posting a bond at the registry. It is placed for 21 days before the marriage. To be legal this notice has to have been published. Here is the actual wording for the requirement



7. Whenever any persons desire to marry, one of the parties to the intended marriage shall sign and give to the registrar of the district in which the marriage is intended to Form A. take place a notice as in Form A in the First Schedule.

8. If the person giving such notice is unable to write or is insufficiently acquainted with the English language, or both, then it shall be sufficient if he place his mark or cross thereto in the presence of some literate person who shall attest the same as in Form B in the First Schedule.

9. Every registrar shall supply forms of Notice gratuitous to any persons applying for the same.


10. Upon receipt of such notice the registrar shall cause the same to be entered in a book to be called the Marriage Notice Book, which may be inspected during office hours without fee. He shall also publish such notice by causing a copy of the same to be affixed on the outer door of his office, and to be kept exposed there until he grants his certificate as hereinafter mentioned, or until three months shall have elapsed.

11. (1) The registrar, at any time after the expiration of twenty-one days and before the expiration of three months from the date of the notice, upon payment of the prescribed fee, shall thereupon issue his certificate as in Form C in the First Schedule:

Provided always that he shall not issue such certificate until he has been satisfied by affidavit-


(a) that one of the parties has been resident within the district in which the marriage is intended to be celebrated at least fifteen days preceding the granting of the certificate:


(cool.gif that each of the parties to the intended marriage (not being a widower or widow) is twenty-one years old, or that if he or she is under that age, the consent hereinafter made requisite has been obtained in writing and is annexed to such affidavit;


© that there is not any impediment of kindred or affinity, or any other lawful hindrance to the marriage;


(d) that neither of the parties to the intended marriage is married by customary law to any person other than the person with whom such marriage is proposed to be contracted.

(2) Such affidavit may be sworn before a registrar, or before an administrative officer or before a recognised minister of religion.

(3) The person taking such affidavit shall explain to the person making the same what are the prohibited degrees of kindred and affinity, and the penalties which may be incurred under sections 42 and 43 of this Act, and if he wilfully fails to make such explanation, he shall be liable to imprisonment for two years.


(4) The person taking such affidavit shall sign a declaration written thereon, that he has given the explanation required by this section to the person making such affidavit and that such person has appeared fully to understand the same.

12. If the marriage shall not take place within three months after the date of the notice, the notice and all proceedings consequent thereupon shall be void; and fresh notice shall be given before the parties can lawfully marry.

13. The Minister upon proof being made to him by affidavit that there is no lawful impediment to the proposed marriage, and that the necessary consent, if any, to such marriage has been obtained, may, if he shall think fit, dispense with the giving of notice, and with the issue of the certificate of the registrar, and may grant his licence, which shall be according to Form D in the First Schedule, authorismg the celebration of a marriage between the parties named in such licence by a registrar, or by a recognised minister of some religious denomination or body.


14. (1) Any person whose consent to a marriage is hereby required, or who may know of any just cause why the marriage should not take place, may enter a caveat against the issue of the registrar's certificate, by writing at any time before the issue thereof the word "Forbidden", opposite to the entry of the notice in the marriage notice book, and appending thereto his name and place of abode, and the grounds upon which he claims to forbid the issue of the certificate, and the registrar shall not issue his certificate until such caveat shall be removed as hereinafter is provided.


(2) In the case of an illiterate person, such caveat shall be entered on his behalf in the marriage notice book by the registrar on the verbal notice of such person.


15. Whenever a caveat is entered against the issue of a certificate, the registrar shall refer the matter to a judge of the High Court of the State, and such judge shall thereupon summon the parties to the intended marriage, and the person by whom the caveat is entered, to appear before him in the High Court of the State, and shall require the person by whom the caveat is entered to show cause why the registrar should not issue his certificate, and shall hear and determine the case in a summary way subject to a right of appeal to the Court of Appeal.


16. If the judge decides that the certificate ought to be issued, he shall remove the caveat by cancelling the word 'Forbidden" in the marriage notice book, in ink, and by writing in such marriage notice book, immediately below such entry and cancellation, the words 'Cancelled by order of the High Court' and signing his name thereto. The registrar shall then issue his certificate and the marriage may proceed as if the caveat had not been entered, but the time that has elapsed between the entering and the removal of the caveat shall not be computed in the period of three months specified in sections ii and 12 of this Act.



17. The judge may award compensation and costs to the party injured, if it appears that a caveat was entered on insufficient grounds.

Have you personally requested that the USCIS initiate your CR1? I know that when the k3 moves to the embassy the CR1 goes into storage until he gets here.
I am assuming that nothing happens to the cr1 until someone initiates it??????

Thanks Mrs. Jib! Everything the embassy said was totally wrong and I have evidence to back up everything. They were working daily since receiving my evidence on July 30 on both I-130 and K-3 until Aug. 4 and I thought I would receive the final decision since all work ceased from that day, but I only received the notice of decision about the K3. They have not worked on anything since and that kind of worries me, but I will keep the faith and see it through. I will start calling again once it gets closer to Sept. 30.

Hello, Good to see you , but not on these turms.

I do not have any good answer for you. But like the above poster said, will you run into the same problems with the CR1 interview and AP information?

What were the exact reasons for the denail. I know because they think the marriage was fraud, but did they give reason and proof?

K-3 Spouse Visa Process & ProceduresJuly filers for California CVC, Got my case number!
Monique, I believe your SO was denied. So I am confused by the I got my case number. What did you get your case number for?

Does this mean they overturned the Embassies decision?

She did nothing to get her I129F going. She stated to me when I asked her how did she get the I129f approved. She was getting ready to send in her Affidavit of support information when she recieved an email stating that her I129f was approved.

When I realized that this was the case, I wanted to know what she did. she said nothing, it was never cancled.

My I130 was approved in September. NOA1 from the I130 was July. That was a quick approval.

My NOA1 from my I129f was two days after my I130 approval. My laywer messed up by mailing it out two months late. MY husband would be here right now. Ok this will be the last time I say that in a post. *wink

You can not listen to that information. Divine mercy was told 3 times that her I129F was canceled because her I130 was approved. Yet when it was time for her petition it was approved. Her I 130 was approved and already stored. There has been plenty of people who I129F has been approved after their I130 and some people who's have been approved together. The I130 goes to storage until the petitionee is in the us. Then the forward the I129F to the NVC.

2 Thing.

Do you know where it goes in storage. The reason being is because I was approved almost 6 weeks ago and my file hasn't reached NVC. Since I was going to do the K-3, I think my app is lost in limbo.

Also Divine mercy, I know she was told the her i-129f was canceled, but correct me if I am wrong, she contacted congress and they worked to get it going. Therefore, I if USCIS says its canceled, unless you persue getting it pushed through, I don't think it will get approved.
