Hey guys, I need an advice. It has been more than 14 months since I had my K1 visa interview, I've been in administrative processing ever since, the main problem I have is the passport I applied with which was Somali passport. Somali immigrants got alot of scrutiny under Trump since it was part of the banned countries.I can apply for Ethiopian passport 

 

I have medical licensing exam which I need to take in the US which allows me to apply for Tourist visa for that purpose, but I don't think I can apply the tourist visa with my passport if the K1 process doesn't end in time. So I have the option to apply for Ethiopian passport but I don't know how that will affect my application and overall even when I get it, if I can apply a visa with my other nationality while this process is ongoing. What do you guys think? Any input is highly appreciated.

It doesn't matter which passport you use when applying for a tourist visa because you will still have to declare on your application that you have a USC fiance and a pending K1 visa application.  It will be next to impossible to get a tourist visa with those circumstances.  How can you convince the consul officer that you have no immigrant intent when you are just waiting on your K1 visa?  You can't.

You are still the same person, no matter how many passports you have. If you are in AP it is you in AP, not your passport. So you are still in AP. 
 

Expect a tourist visa to be denied with such concrete evidence of immigration intent (an almost complete K-1) on your part.
