The reason for K1 Administrative Processing (link inside)

[Keithn85 400]

Hi all,

 

I know there are people who will panic after their interview for the K1 visa because it goes to refused and then administrative processing, and I completely understand because it is all new.  Plus, when you see the words "refused," your heart stops and it takes your breath away in an unhealthy manner.  This information might be in the K1 Visa section of the VJ site (links above for those who want to absorb the information) but I am posting here in hopes that the people going into the interviews in the next few weeks to a month will understand what each status means:

There is a chance that each embassy/consulate has the same information in compacted form so the beneficiary can read in their own native tongue, but this really explained exactly the answers I would see from VJ members when someone would post this.  This might help and it might not, but I hope this gives more hope to everyone as they are going through their journey (and not just K1 but all the processes).  I would also encourage you read that 221g in its entirety.  If you read it at first and are frozen at "refused", then take a break, go outside and walk, then come back after 30 minutes and read past that "refused" line.  Sometimes it is harder to understand what they mean, but normally it says "refused" but because of more information.  Almost comparable to an RFE during the 129F process.

 

Best wishes to everyone!
