Hi guys!! Im new here. Im a filipina. On K1 visa processing. Was interviewed in Manila last October 10. Right after the interview the consul asked me to fill out a DS 5535 form and said to mail it to them if i cannot fill out on the same day. But i was able to fill out everything on that day and submitted it right away in the RELEASING window. In there, the lady told me that the consul put me on AP maybe becoz i had worked in LIBYA. I worked in Libya for 1.5 years and repatriated during the war. So i was not able to get a police clearance. But i guess they did not validate that reason and put mi on AP. From the day of interview i got 3 updates and until now it is still on AP. My fiance is here in the philippines hoping he could go back to the US with me.  He follows up and calls the embassy every week. Even our lawyer emailed the embassy. But we get the same answer. We are really hoping the process will not reach 60 days and will be able to get the visa asap. Since my fiance has to go back to his work also. We never stop praying. Finding this forum with similar problem as ours is somehow helpful and gives us hope. Is there anyone here who got there visa in less than 60 days?

Unfortunately, it's just a waiting game. The DS-5535 can take up to 60 days for normal processing timelines, although I have heard of it going longer (although this is usually in countries where extended AP is already common).

Hi Shawnice! I’m hoping you can still read this message.We have the same case.  I was interviewed last December 17 and currently on administrative processing since then. I was wondering if you already got your visa?Thanks
