Slightly fascinated, for example?

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

You can marry. Then you would have to start all over with a spousal visa. You might also get AP with the spousal visa, so I don't see how doing that would save any time at all. Start over, wait for

Not all AP is for suspicion of a fraud marriage/relationship. It could be for all sorts of additional checks. But, if that is what they suspect you of, then getting married won't solve that problem.

The condition of AP is related to the beneficiary, not the process itself. Getting married and filing for CR/IR will not make AP go away. Just sit tight and wait, I would suggest.

Really? I can think of like 5 off the top of my head.

Same, probably more if I really had to.

December 12th, 2013: Picked up marriage license.

December 14th, 2013: Wedding

LOL, I have seen countless AP's denied, me being one of them.

OP, sit tight. Wait it out or you will prolong the process.

AS to the Writ of Mandamus, yes you can file it during AP, absolutely ! It probably will get denied when the decision is forced and the checks not completed but necessary, so therefore my advice is to wait out the process.

The K3 is obsolete. Forget it.

If you get denied, then file a CR1, only if denied.

We were 16 months in AP and denied and I still say wait out the AP.

You being there had nothing to do with AP unless you had a Stokes interview and gave different answers to the same questions.
The petitioner being there is a positive not a negative.

Harpa, is very astute! She is rarely in error. If getting married, makes ""you feel better" fine, do it!

IT WILL not move your case forward one day!

YOU WILL START all over with an I-130.,.,.,and that is 12-16 months.,.,.welcome to immigration to the USA!

Take a deep breath, sit back, be thinkful for what and WHO you have, and your situation will be resolved very soon, unless there is something wrong with your background.,,.but cannot buy that, as you got by USCIS.,.,.,.you will be fine!

Me and my wife had to endure the ""Sputum Fiasco"" in the Philippines.,.,waiting 10 weeks to see if her lung culture was clear.,.,or not.,.hoping the phone "did not ring" for 9 weeks then hoping that it did.,.,..,,to tell her it was clear.,.,.,NOW.,.my friend that is agony! We were 10 months and 4 days from filing to enter US POE ., Atlanta 4-24-13!

Cool, it.,.,you are lucky to be clear of USCIS!
