ok Here i go with my today story!

at 730 in that freaky cold morning! I was there in front of embassy...........guys its massive big!..............At around 815 i was in the embassy, got the interview number there and then and took my seat......

After 30-40 min i was called for the first stage of interview at window 14, there was this British Guy who said Good moring and asked me to give him all necessary paper work....when i was giving my Pak police certificate i smiled a bit and he asked me you are smiling what happened, i was like nothing heheheeheh........(you guys know the whole story of Pak certificate)anywas.....when he was finished by arranging all my documents in the file...he said to go to window 12 to pay Visa fees which is 131$ and 81.23 in Pounds........after paying my fees, i was again with the guy at window 14, he said please take a seat and u will be called shortly...I waited for another 30min, and called at window 16 for the second stage of my Interview....Everything was smooth and easy for me from the first stage till the end...That American guy around 28-30, Said Good Morning and was like if i am all ready for the interview. I said yes and then here he goes........

ok interview finished, he then sorted out all the paper work, and then handed over the blue slip by circuling around the SMS courier number that your aplication, paper work and interview have been approved but there is some kind of administrative processing and it will take max 60days to be done....but it can be more faster like a month or so...............i was like ok thats fine but i asked him question about AP that i have heard it takes months and i will be so happy if i be with my fiance asap. he said, i can understand that you guys have your plans thats why we are not processing AP cases more quickly and you will be definitly hearing something from us very soon, so you can be sure of this....being on AP isn't taking that long anymore as it was used to be........

i then said thanks to him and left the building at around 1015.............

You're welcome.

I'm seriously interested in your story as it continues to unfold. We read much about AP as it relates to consulates in countries who have 'less favored' status with the US Government. While I'm not a student of the minutia of Admin Processing, it has always seemed to me that the tortuous process is exacerbated in these countries due to poor technology, poor record keeping, corrupt local law enforcement and the like.

However, it can't always be said that just because a citizen of one of these nations applies at a 'favored nation' consulate that the process will be 'swift'. I am very good friends with a person whose Egyptian fiance spent many months in AP - his interview was conducted at one of the Canadian consulates. This situation occurred in 2005 and the gentleman in question also had a career that put him in a position for more scrutiny. Nonetheless, applying in London or Canada or any other modern nation who has a good political relationship with the US doesn't guarantee a swift visa.

If the process is quicker, however, than say AP through one of the Middle Eastern consulates, I think it does speak to the professional and unprejudiced manner in which a consulate conducts itself overall.

there must be something that u were lacking at the interview, i can see other ppl experiences, their fiances had the same status in UK and gone through with interview for K1 in Us embassy and also got cleared from Ap within a month, there are four ppl i have seen on VJ so far on the same case and they all cleared from AP....I dont know what happened in your case and why you are still hanging on AP...........didn't u ask DOS or embassy about your fiance case status....?????????????

can you tell me ur story what sort of dcouments u submitted, for how long ur fiance is here. what was happened in the interview stuff like that?????

im living proof they dont process it ne faster in a "favored nation" i have a pakistani fiance who is also a student living in uk. we did our interview in london as well. they gave us the 60 day max talk as well.......10 months later we still n ap.....

I am wondering and realy sorry to heard that you are still on AP, but you can also see other ppl, their ap cleared in a matter of a month......their cases were just like yours one........doesn't it tell you anything that you should try harder to move up in your case.....call them up and keep doing that, Inshallha o aziz you will be hearing something soon........my prayers are with you, your eyes shouldn't be sad anymore.....

Cases take longer in AP for case specific reasons. "AP" is not just a set of initials. It means (additional) Administrative Processing. That processing includes but is not limited to additional security and name checks. If information comes to light that requires further investigation, each avenue of that investigation proceeds in its own time frame. Sometimes it gets stalled for months waiting its turn for the appropriate personnel or department to have time to do their part. A month is a best case scenario that assumes no issues arrise during the AP itself.
