HI,

I am a U.S citizen and got engaged to my fiance who lives in London UK. I applied for her K1 Fiance Visa in Summer of 2010. She finally got her interview on June 16 2011. I went thru a good lawyer in Atlanta. After her interview she was told that they need more time "ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESS". Its October 15, I have emailed the U.S Embassy in London few times via phone and email. We keep getting same reply back that it will just take time. I have moved here in London and our "patience" is so so running out. Does anyone know how long can Administrative Process take?? Is there anything we can do to expeditaite? Please Please help!! Thanks.

Your interview took 67 days from your I-129F NOA1 date.

AOS was approved in 2 months and 8 days without interview.

ROC was approved in 3 months and 2 days without interview.

What is VJ?

sergnavi,

Was your fiance born in another country, by any chance? Even if she has UK citizenship but was born elsewhere, this could sometimes cause the person to go into AP.

Hang tight; hopefully not too long but there's no way of saying.

Today is actually our six months "anniversary" in AP. My fiancee had her interview in Yaounde, April 18, 2011. My Congressman AND Senator have written to the embassy and the reply is similar to yours. Really frustrating!! Hang in there and Good Luck!

Its not racial its country. Because of Pakistan. Required AP for that country and others that are not on good terms with the USA.
