hey guys, my interview is on NOVEMBER 18th and i'm worried and stressing out about the administrative processing thingi.. :(



who goes under A.P?? or what makes one go under A.P?


is it related to missing documents?? or about affidavit of support document??



all what i know from ( the us embassy in Ankara) website is that some applicant might go through additional checking that is called A.P and it says it might take a month up to 6 months.. it sounds scary :(



thank u in advance for replying!

The people at the call centers have pretty much no access to any up-to-date information. They will tell you that the information they have is current, and that everyone on VisaJourney is lying, or mis

Extended AP seems to hit Middle Eastern men a lot and some Middle Eastern women. I remember one guy from the UK went into AP because his surname was the same as the capital of Yemen.

The US doesn't take terrorism lightly so it unfortunately profiles people with Muslim-sounding names and puts them into extended AP while security checks are carried out.

Other reasons I've seen are someone has the same name as a notorious criminal. I share a surname with a serial killer in the UK unfortunately so hopefully I won't be AP'd!

ROC from CR-1 visa (Green Card expiration date was Nov 24th 2016)

 

Link to the evidence I submitted. Be sure to send evidence spanning your entire marriage (especially for K-1) or as far back as you can. Just one or two bank statements will not cut it. I primarily focused on the two years of living here since I came in on a CR-1. If you don't have the fundamentals (i.e. joint accounts/policies), you can explain why in the covering letter. E.g. "While we do not have joint utilities, we both contribute to them from our joint bank account".

April 6th 2018: Card in hand. Has incorrect "resident since" date. Submitted service request on I-751 case (typographical error on permanent resident card) and an I-90 online.

April 2018 - August 7th 2018: Tons of service requests, emails and now senator involvement to get my corrected green card back because what the heck, USCIS. Also some time in May I sent a letter to Potomac telling them I want to withdraw my I-90 since CSC were handling it.

August 13th 2018: Card mailed
