am i in the dreaded AP??

[alejandrorit 0]

greetings,

so our k1 interview in jerusalem was 1 week ago (March 25) and it ended by their office giving my fiancee a 221 (g) stating that "in order to complete the processing of this case" we need to submit "the joint-sponsor's 2008 or 2009 tax returns". it went on to state "once these documents are submitted our office will contact you about turning in your passport." NOTE: they want the entire tax returns...I had brought only the first two pages and it was not enough. so we submitted the necessary documents the next day (march 26) and now the DOS tells me that the consulate has not put into its system that they have received the documents. my question is this: Am I in the dreaded AP? or is it likely just a matter of them getting around to seeing the tax returns and approving us? in other words: are you only in AP if they tell you your in AP--or is anything other than an approval/denial at the interview an Administrative Review/Processing

i very much hope this is a matter of weeks not months.

thanks and good luck

Moving to a Visa Waiver and AP forum - you're done with petition processing - this is visa time.

The 221g would tell you if you were in administrative processing.

thats what i was hoping to hear. because i have seen forms from other people's cases where it states clearly they were. we did not get informed of any AP or AR. just to submit the documents...

That is good. Hopefully, if they did not keep the passport, they will call for it soon.

Best of luck to you

I hope its not, but the same thing happened to me. My husband had his interview in jerusalem on march 17th They told my husband they want me to send them a signed statment saying that im not required to file for taxes and as soon as they get it they will call my husband to send his passport. Now they got it and im in AP Email they embassy and ask them that how i found out. They email you back fast within 1-2days
