hi everyone!

was interviewed this month and the CO told me my visa is approved. all requirements are complete. but at the end they gave me a 221-g white form stating that my case is for further administrative review and they would just call me back. they did not release my passport. its more than a week now and have not heard from them. has anyone experienced this too? im worried. thanks

No worries its just a formality at this point. Unless they requested more documentation then they are simply looking at your case a little closer and verifying documents or doing background checks thats it... it won't take too long from your country and you should see your visa soon.

After an approval at the consulate, they will do background checks which is mandatory. This cannot be expedited or waived. This process can take a few weeks to a few months. Just pray hard.

Good Luck!

Good luck i also got a 221g form sayin the information in my pass port does not match with that on my birth certificate so i was lucky to be given another appointment in jan 12 to submit it. But my interview was successful. So good luck AP does not take long.

from her country it shouldnt take as long as its taking for us... thats all i was saying and yea it cant be expedited or waived (which I know well) but usually it will be within a month or two from the phillipines unless something else pops up

hi! (K1nK2) we had our interview last Dec 12 ..and Co told me that visa approved but just need some Cenomar reverification....my case status is AP/AR... I dont know how long will it takes before they'll issue our visas

Johnny English and Lagrande.. why don't you post these questions in the regional forum for your country? You will get far better results from them bcos for me, my husband is from pakistan and it's quite common for a lengthy AP for over 5-6 months... getting info from your own country will be more informational and beneficial and probably calm your anxiousness much more. good luck to you all...

when we had our interview in Manila we got the same 221g, no paper work needed, just wait for them to contact us. As you can see in our signature it only took a couple of weeks, so hang in there, it should come soon, good luck and happy holidays!

HEY.. I am orginally from Pakistan but have lived in USA for past 23 years. I have a Fiance` in London, UK. She had her interview on June 16,2011 and since then we have been in ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESS.. Imagine what we are going thru. I have since last month involved my Senator from Georgia USA, and he has emailed USA Embassy in London and he has gotten the same answer.. saying that its under Administrative Process. This process can take 1 day to years.... no one knows. I pray hard to God for you! May you have your Visa and start your life with your loved one. I have been in London for past 6 months for her moral support. I am going thru hell... I have been praying and praying... I have been on other sites and really looked into this "Administrative Process", it totally sucks!! Everyone is against it. We both are Muslim... I just hope it isn't for some "racial reasons". Well I hope you best of luck my friend!! Take Care!! O by the way we applied under K1 Fiance` Visa.
