Hi guys,

I called the DOS this morning to ask about the case status of my K1 petition. It was electronically received at the embassy in Paris on 8/19, and the case status read "Ready" as of 8/23. The guy I spoke with said they haven't sent out the packet 3 yet, and further that the case was in Administrative Processing?? This caught me off guard, and I asked is this normal to be in administrative processing as soon as the file is sent to the embassy and he said yes.

Does anyone have any input? I don't really understand AP other than it's extra background for "hot" countries. My fiance is a French citizen and his dad is from Spain but that's it.

Every step of this process... cray5ol.gif

Yeah, it took me 2 weeks to receive packet 3 after the embassy received my 129F petition. Do not worry, there is no reason that you would wait more than this. Packet 3 will be in your Fiancée's mail box soon.

Good luck!

Good luck in your visa journey!

From the day we sent I-129F to the day I recieved my K-1: Exactly 9 months
I am the benifeciary
