=( ......sorry to hear, but just remember you guys are not alone,  we are all here together. i think there are only a couple k1 visas that they approved last year to this year, most are on AP even when they were told they were approved, are you guys on AP now then and the CO didn't ask for anything else? 

all he said to my fiance is that we will review your documentation and make a determination but he didnt take his passport. He handed him the white slip and checked off passport and evidence. But my fiance had both of those items. 

 

Are any of you considering getting married and applying for the spouse visa?

now that is so shady of them, it is almost as if they are saying he don't have enough evidences of you both together and i bet they didn't even look much at the evidences you guys brought them, maybe only took a glance and then for the passport part saying you guys didn't have his passport there with him at the interview........ getting married in egypt will be the last thing i will do, because it cost a lot of money and we already invested a lot in our k1 visa just because it was supposed to be a shorter timing of paperwork that gets him to the states and then we can marry here anyways and then the long paperwork takes place in the state instead. even when CO ask it's like.....dude u and i know we have options, i could barely get directions to the US embassy in egypt and we both are not familiar with marriage in egypt with a foreigner and of course i looked up the process and then we considered the K1 visa route because i know how everything and every place i need to go do paperwork here in the states and here in the states they will not leave you with no answer, they will answer you, followup with you, and do their job 99% of the time. we both don't know all the dozens of offices and stamps that we need to go to in egypt just to finalized a marriage and get a certificate to marry in egypt. besides......i need US Embassy approval to marry there because i am a US citizen? lol besides that so many more offices and people have to witness the marriage and do a dozen of stamping and paperworks........omg i would have to live there for a year to just get marriage paperworks and everything done with good solid evidences. getting married does not mean you wont be in AP, i have friends in AP over 2 years even though they are married and have all the evidences. but as far as getting marry and applying for a spousal visa you can anytime you want while you wait or don't want to wait anymore, you just have to cancel your K1 visa before you apply for the spousal visa. regardless everything takes time and only more time.

That's actually not true, there were 19~20 K1 visas issued each month passed this year, since January.

Up until July, which only had 15 K1 visas issued.

Well whatever is going on some people r approved but still has no visa in hand so until it is in hand there is probably no visa issued. The statistic I don't even think r correct in our so world of thing lol I am sure we r all approved they just want to make us wait a certain time before they will actually give us the visa I guess

Hello Everyone,

 

My case has been on AP for 3 and half months, the status date updated 2 or 3 times after we sent the additional docs but it hasn't been updated after that since July 18th, could that mean after the CO review the docs now they are doing security checks? keep in mind that I was told by the embassy support center that the date updates ONLY when the CO update the case.

I dont think it means much, I think it is just a record of them adding the docs to your file or taking a look at it. I thunk @Super Uber's case is the perfect example, he sent everything that was required of him, saw his case date update a few times but is still in AP since November.

Maybe it's for security check, it's common if the man is the beneficiary but for women it wasn't but maybe now it is.
