The status changed today to Administrative processing 

We, too, were put in this dreaded status after my now-husband went for his K1 interview.  He was told that he was approved and could pick up his passport w/ visa in a few days.  Then later that afternoon, they called him and told him that it was going to take "a little longer".  His AP took about 6 months (of course, that was back in 2014 and things may take longer or be different now).  I called weekly and they just told me that they would contact us when it was done.  I did make a point to confirm that the processing was being done in Morocco.  After about 5 and 1/2 months, i called my Senator's office and the immigration case worked agreed to call them.  He (my husband) got a call that day from the consulate saying that his AP was done.  

 

Based on my extensive research, the AP done in-country is a big black box.  No one knows what is happening with it at any given time, not even the consular officers, so as to remove the possibility of bribery, etc.  Near as I can figure, the last step is to run your name through a database, if it clears you get your visa.  If it hits anything, even soundex hits (names  that same similar to yours), then they have to do further investigation.  Because so many people have such similar names in Morocco, it happens fairly often.

 

If they return everything to the State Department in the US, then that is not a good sign.  But they likely would not have kept his passport in that case.
