Our Passport Update

[wewillmakeit 11]

Hello everyone 

Would like some input.. We had our interview Nov 27th & got approved been waiting ever since then for the passport. On CEAC our status updated yesterday from APPLICATION RECIEVED  to ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSING very worried bc from what I researched it may take up to 60 days well we don't have that bc our visa expires next month...What I don't understand is if they approved the visa what is the hold up???? Very annoyed & confused

That is not the visa expiration date .  Has nothing to do with the visa.  From what I can tell the visa has not even been issued.  Once issued it is valid for 6 more months

Your timeline shows the visa was approved.  Is it?  Is there an actual visa in the passport?

If your attorney is telling you that the NOA2 date is his visa expiration date then I suggest a new attorney.  The NOA2 expiration date is for the I-129F petition at the Embassy.  You had the interview before that date, the NOA2 expiration date is now meaningless.  

 

AP can take days to years depending on the consulate and the reasons behind why the applicant was put into AP.

If you don't have the visa in the passport then it is not yet approved.

Our interview was November 27th and we were approved & how would I know if they kept the passport

Because they need the passport to put the visa in.  So did you ask your fiance if they kept the passport or handed it back at the time of the interview?

You will know the visa is approved when CEAC status shows "Issued" or you physically have the passport back with the visa in it.
