My visa case pending in AP for 5 weeks

[Kkpdl 1]

Dear everyone:

 

My K1 VISA got approved in the interview on Mar.27, 

This week is the fifth week, but My visa state still pending in administrative processing.

I've reseved the ticket to US on May.4.

I tried many ways to push my case, by service calls, emails, and websites...no any useful information.

 

What I can do now? 

Need your kindly support, Thank you so much!!!

Unfortunately you have to wait out the AP. You never buy your plane ticket until visa is in your hands. AP can take days, weeks, months and even years. I'm sorry that you didn't get your visa yet. My Fiancé is still under AP and it's been 2 months! They say after 60 days you can email Embassy to see what's going on.  If it's still under AP there's nothing you can do but just wait it out. I hope you get your visa soon!

The above is exactly correct. It's just a waiting game now, unfortunately.

 

And yes, never order a ticket before you have the visa in hand. Anything can happen.

I understand ur frustration.  I hope u nor I have to wait that long. Is there a way u can get ur money back from plane ticket? Or maybe change date of flight?

yes, I think it's really far more hurt if someone already ordered the ticket.

until the visa in hand then order the ticket is make sense!

yep. just almost everyone in the visa group got their's visa on time, just my case delay, soooo frustration...

I can change the date or cancel the ticket.

Just i want tell everyone do not order ticket before visa in hand...It's really far more hurt and more stress

You just have to wait.. My husband's been in AP for 4 months and we're told to just wait. Very frustrating!

Although I understand your frustration, it was premature to buy a plane ticket.  The embassy is not at fault here.

12 weeks in AP here. It happens to a lot of us unfortunately.

I'm sorry you're having this kind of delay, but it does happen. AP can take days (usually), weeks (sometimes), months (rarely), or years (very rarely). It's just a waiting game...you can't speed it up (assuming they aren't waiting on anything from you).

 

Never reserve tickets prior to having a visa in hand. Hopefully you can get a refund.

i feel your pain, belive me is terrible.

this my second k1, i did k1 on 2013 and went to interview on march 18,2014, i ws approved at the interview and they keep my passport.

but i was put on AP , after 6 months waiting they sent back my passport saying that the case was in AP.

then arrived 2015 and y case in AP, then arrived 2016 and case in AP.

my ex and me did everything to try to get the visa soon even involved the senator office and nothing.

my relationship ended during the waiting time.

i was in AP for 2 years, and  i am no in AP because i am no with the petitioner anymore, now i am with another person.

you can read about my old case on my old profil @Ilovemyman

 

anyway i advise you, tell to your petitioner to trry to contact his o her santor office to see if they do something

You have to wait. If you already tried reaching them then there is nothing more to do.

 

You broke the #1 rule... DO NOT book anything (that can't be easily changed) until the visa is physically in your hand.
