Hi there, I always aprciate yours guys help.

I need more information on my case, me and my fiance case has been held under AP from last 10 months and still nothing happen yet, its over limit now, me and my fiance wont able to stay apart from each other anymore, I already visit twice to india now, since I dont have enough finace now and nor I will get leave from work and its really frustrating, sitting my self here and just wait and wait 4 the clearance to be done, and dont know how long it will take

I was planning to go india and get married my fiance, so do I have to go through all this process all over again

I mean if I get married and let the mumbai consulate know about our marriage and tell them to convert my K1 case into K3 will it be possible, beacuse my fiance dont really wanted do all this interview and medical again, because the consulate is very far away from her home town and nor she have anybody to go wid her, and plus all the budget and stuff, so we were hoping to that convert our case withouht any futhure troubleness I also dont know if they will continue again the AP even after we reapply as marriage based, please somebody give me more information on this

thanx guys, did someone has been cleared from the AP under a year or not? please also reply thanx

You cannot convert a K-1 to a K-3. You will have to re-file and go through the entire process.

so if you have to re-file, will be able to file while I am residing in india or how long I have to stay their before I can file, or you guys think is much better and quicker to file from USA here, since I am usa citizen. But I wanted to spend more time wid my fiance while we waiting for our case to be process, so please suggest the best and quick way, I cant be apart from my love anymore. Will it be more faster? how well is chances to get a quick interview at mumbai consulate? I really tired of this waiting things now, I hope to find a the easier way to be wid my love, if somebody know any other way please reply me and let me know

and wat is the max limit of this AP thing? i mean wat is somebody late cleared on this? I am so afraid of this

Am I to understand that you have an interview scheduled only a month away, and you are considering re-filing?

There is no limit on AP. Some have taken years. Switching visas will not change that.

You can refile at any time, but your likely to wait just as long as you have already waited for your K-1. The fastest route is just waiting through AP and calling the embassy regularly to check the status of your case.

Correct me if I'm wrong - If he cancels the K1 and files another petition (either K1 or K3), won't he most likely get into AP again coz this one wasn't complete??
