Hello,

I'm new in this forum and was looking for some suggestions. Any advice/comment/suggestion is really appreciated.

I'm a USC who petitioned IR1 visa for wife. We were married two and half years ago and is our first marriage. We have never applied for any other visa before. My wife had her interview on 3rd July 2012 at the US embassy in Nepal. The interview went on smoothly. She was asked only basic questions like when did you married, what does your husband do? etc. The CO also went through our wedding pictures. It only lasted for 5 minutes and at the end the CO congratulated my wife saying that her visa is approved. Then they returned all the original documents, kept her passport and was told to come back 5th July 2012 to collect the passport and visa packet . My wife was given a small slip (size of a business card)where it says '5th July 2012. Please come to collect your visa and passport on this date.' But when my wife went to the embassy on 5th July, she was returned back saying that the visa and the packet is not ready and the embassy will contact her when to come back.

Its been nearly two weeks and the embassy never contacted her. When my wife emailed the embassy to check, she was replied saying that her case is in Admin processing and will inform when its complete.

What might be the reason for them to send our case for Admin processing? If there is anyone in this forum who has gone through same situation please please share your experience.

The administrative review is where you have 180 days to gather all your evidence supporting your relationship. Usually chats, phone conversations, ect... My husband had his interview September 15, 2011 and they didn't openly state they were sending it back until I emailed the consulate the next week and then two weeks after that because we didn't get an answer. What happens now is you wait a period of 180 days then they will send you a Notice of Intent to Revoke. This notice will define what they found out during the interview that brought up questions or doubts of a legitimate relationship. You need to address those issues. You have 30 days to answer that with copies of whatever proof you have. This proof should be everything from when your relationship started, during it and after the interview; proof of a continuous relationship basically. It should contain information on when you traveled to visit, and how often etc. After they recieve your proof you will get another notice stating they received your proof and will get back to you within 60 days with denied or approved. This is where my husband and I are. We will be married two years this Friday and this process will have taken two year at the end of August with maybe the end in October. Good luck and I hope things will work out faster for you.

Finally after two weeks from the interview, my wife received visa. :dancing:

These two weeks were really suffering and I was much worried because I have not heard a lot about the mysterious 'Admin Processing' cases for IR1 visa in Kathmandu, Nepal.

I wish good luck to all the Vjers and may god help you reunite with your beloved ones pretty soon.
