Just had the K1 interview yesterday (Wed.) in Bogota and got put into AP- they didn't really give me a reason why- I asked if there was a "red flag" or something, but the interview guy says it is more of an internal review that has more to do with them (the embassy) being held in check- like a check and balance thing done by another office or company... Is that true?

Joe

Mine was an internal administrative thing (no request for documents), but the guy said it was just something they had to do on their end. He didn't mention a check and balance thing...so I suppose it varies from embassy to embassy. Sounds like you're on Administrative Review instead of AP but I could be wrong. Anybody else have input on this? This is just me speculating, I'm afraid I don't know anything solid about it.

Best of luck with your case, Joe :D.

I LOVE all the good news going around, it's contagious! Brahim and I have our own good news to share: as of yesterday, we are officially out of AP!!! He was called yesterday and told he can go pick-up his passport Monday!!! WOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! These two years of visa madness have been such a test--we are so thrilled to finally be starting our lives together soon, inshAllah!

"Often, we move through life in a relatively unconscious way until some big event happens: a high...or a low...Slowing down your practice--and your consciousness--to be especially attentive to those "transitional spaces" leads you to inhabit yourself more fully, to become more aware of your experience in the in-between moments rather than in just those moments when a milestone grabs your attention." May 2009 issue of Yoga Journal

Thanks very for the reply- on the form he gave us it had the 221(g) box checked. Not sure if that determines "review" or "processing?"

Thanks,
