Been 6 months after the K1 visa interview

[a and ja 0]

Hi,

My finance had an interview on feb 24th at consulate on Kathmandu, they asked for additional document which she submitted with passport right after the interview. It has been on Refused Status and when asked was told that it was under administrative processing. Its been 6 months and there has been no updates. Send email after 180 days of last submitted document and still have not gotten any response. I am lost at this moment as I am not sure what I can do to get more information. If anyone has any suggestions or information as what to do it will be very helpful and much appreciated.

at this point (submission of needed documents),  you wait

 

the case is undergoing extended security checks similiar to  other countries  for poor record keeping by government

cases in AP can go weeks ,  months and a year

 

Did the embassy keep his passport?   this would be a good sign

Yes Embassy still has her passport.

 

So at this moment would it be faster to get married and apply through Spouse route than wait for AP to be resolved ?

No.

 

Any AP/background checks will also need to be completed for a spouse visa, obviously.  There is no way to expedite or waive them.

Hang in there. The email response can take a while but it'll come along. It's best to hang on this case because if you start the other, you'll have to cancel this one which can take a while... and then you have the other case coming up which could still be longer than where this case is at right now.

Thank You for the replies, guess there is not one can do but wait and see. Got email saying the case has been expedited and hopefully that is a good sign.
