It could be weeks, months or for some people, years. There is really no timeline on how long it will take. All you can do is keep calling. But if you were approved at the interview, it will most likely come through at some point.

As i first started the K1 application, I ask the border patrol officer about K1 visa and they told me that K1 the fastest way to bring your love one here and then marry, so I did this and now its been 1 full year since my case is going thru, and now this AP thing, so how this case would be fastest then anything else, its seem to me slowest then every other case, and like you said it could take weeks, months and even a year, since I already have 1 year on my case and if it take 1 more year, I would be dead by then seriously and yeh her interview is passed but I dont know why they put us under security clearance is this is now a regular procedure? or they would have an doubt on our case or something? why?

is there way we can involve any lawayer or conressmen to speed up the security procedure? or no?

I am really really so frustrated now with the AP

Its unlikely anyone can help you speed it up, but a congress person may be able to get your more information on why your case needs additional processing.

If your in AP with a K-1, you may still have ended up in AP with K-3 or IR-1/CR-1. And to bring a spouse or fiancee to the US to immigrate, those are pretty much your only options.

My case actually took about 4 months, but due to other obligations, my fiancee wont be able to leave and come to the US for another couple months.

Four months from start, until we got the visa, we never ended up in AP or AR.

No one can push a security check no lawyer, congressman or senator. All clearances are considered a matter of National Security.

Just a few of the name checks that are done in the beginning of your processing and before it gets to the embassy level.

Obviously, any security name check is only as good as the accuracy and completeness of the database upon which the check the done. Here is a sample of the principal databases upon which an immigration and consular security check can be done currently:

*NCIC (National Crime Information Center)(also called FBI criminal database)

*IBIS (Interagency Border Inspection System)

[Click Here for More Information on Security Checks with IBIS.]

*NIIS (Non-Immigrant Information System)

*CLASS (Consular Lookout and Support System)(This name-check database

in particular has been greatly expanded, now storing up to 18 million records.)

*CCD ( Consular Consolidated Date Base)(Stores 75 million records of past visa applications and outcomes)

*TIPOFF (Classified DOS Bureau of Intelligence database)

*NAILS (National Automated Immigration Lookout System)

*TECS II (Treasury Enforcement and Communucation System)

*TSC and TTIC databases (DOS Terrorist Screening system)

All you can do is wait it out and pray for patience and understanding. I thought a marriage visa to USC would move things along at a fast pace too but it was 18 months from the marriage date until he was home.
