Hi,

My fiancee had her interview two weeks ago and after a few questions the CO stated congrats, you've been issued a visa, you will get your passport within 7 - 8 business days. This was on Sept. 9th, and its been 10 business days. All this time, I was checking the NVC site and the status was "Ready", until today. I just went to see it and it says Administrative Processing.

I had though the case was approved, I don't understand why it state AP now. She didn't receive any type of forms or any type g221 or anything after the interview. Can someone help?

Thanks.

I just called DOS trying to ask whats going on, the lady said they're still processing it, its in administrative processing right now. I said, AP? I though it was approved... She said yes, it was but its still being processed.

Thats why i always tell people to wait for the visa in hand before jumping for joy.. Everyone goes thru AP the time length depends on your fiance's background..

Issued! Wooohoooo. I guess that AP was for one day only. Just saw it right now, it stated "Issued".. Hopefully that means the visa process is complete... and not another step after this... dancin5hr.gif

Keeping my fingers crossed...
