hello everyone I'm new to this website so i don't know where to post this topic other than here. Ive been married since March 20,2013 My husband is a U.S citizen he applied for me an IMMIGRATION VISA which I'm not sure i believe a K-1. my interview date was on June 26, 2015 it went very well the councilor officer told me everything is good no papers are missing and I am approved and i should get my passport in two weeks. On july 17my statues on CEAC says ISSUED and your visa has been printed. Your visa will be returned to you by courier soon. If there are any further questions or information needed you will be contacted. I waited till august 13 sent the embassy where I was interviewed a message asking whats going on with my case why its taking long? and Why haven't I received back passport yet? which they replied its in final process this process takes up to two weeks some even more. Then again I sen same message after three weeks same message they replied back then beginning of september I asked again they replied saying the PARAGRAPH BELOW!!!!!!!! Now i feel so confused I don't know what to do so I need Help getting my Visa. I was wondering should I hire a lawyer like would that help get it soon and Also what do they mean by the paragraph below should i be worried!!!??????? or what should i do thank you

Dear Sir,

Thank you for contacting us. The case is pending required administrative processing. Typically, this process takes at least 9 months to complete, but on occasion it does take longer. We are not able to take any further action on the case until proper authorization is received. Once this authorization is completed, a consular officer will review the case again to determine if the case is documentarily complete and to verify that none of the documents are expired. Please see the time line below for further information about the validity period of documents:

1. Israeli criminal register certificate: valid for one year from the date of issuance.
2. Palestinian non conviction certificate: valid for six months from the date of isuance.
3. DS-260: valid for one year from the date of signature.
4. Medical report: valid for six months from the date of the exam.

Please check on the status of your pending immigrant visa application online by visiting the Department of State’s Consular Electronic Application Center (CEAC) website.

Best Wishes,

Are your documents that you provided during the interview expired? (Spouses do CR-1 as K-1 are for fiances.)

Email them again, maybe after a week, because it sounds like they mixed up your case. Sometimes, ceac will say AP before saying issued, but yours seems to say issued. Try to put a screen shot of ceac that shows it says issued and ask them if you need to provide anything else.

It's taking a long time for our visa to be issued too. We are close, but the embassy won't even respond to our emails. The last email we had on August 24th said that my fiance should have already been contacted for him to pick up his passport! Still they won't tell us anything!

I wish you luck. and no everything was good my medical was done 10 days before my interview which has about 3 months left for it to be expired and the rest of papers expire in a year.

also I did put a screen shot about the CEAC statues and they replied back saying its in final process and i did mention they might be mistaken about whats going on and everything they said in the last message the paragraph above in the first mention about my case thats under A.P

we were in AP for 6 months, it wasn't a big deal for us because we had to do the waiver. took Jerusalem about 10 days to issue my husband's visa, worst courier service ever !!!!!!! hate Wassel !!!!!

allyinchicago, your right their serves sux and I wan a ask you did they mention to you guys he's going to be under A.P for 9 months or they just said under a.p because idk i hear some ppl get their less than 9 months and some after 9 months also did your husband receive back his passport?

No, they never said he was going to be in AP, because he got denied (for overstaying a past visa), like I said we knew we had to do the waiver so being in AP didn't matter, we waited 4.5 months for the waiver to be approved....but after the interview instead of the ceac saying denied it said in AP. then one day 6 months later the AP was gone.

I think thats my problem because I went as a kid to america and i overstayed but i was under 18 I was under my parents laws and stuff so I think thats why Im under a.p and can you tell me whats the waiver? and did they tell u they needed the waiver?
