Actually, AP is advanced parole. It gives the alien the ability to travel outside the U.S. with re-entry during the AOS process.

AR, administrative review, is what the USCIS does for a case when it is determined that further investigation is required. Some embassies do this automatically while others would do it if there are any anomalies in the petition. AR can also occur during the time it takes the FBI to do the name check.

I am sure others can give you much more detail on this and you might be able to find more if you tried a search on VJ.

Good luck

vicki/bala,

The difference is semantics.

As jasman points out, the acronym 'AP' is usually associated with Advance Parole, so for the avoidance of confusion why not stick to 'AR' when talking about the Administrative 'we need to take a closer look at this' issue.

maybe your case might be in AR which is Admin Review, like name check, bckgrnd and criminal record chk. through different agencies..

I think it should be AR..and not AP, in your case AP will not be applicable as this is once you enter on your K1 and you need to travel while your status is being adjusted..
