K1 Visa/ Interview

[Patcor 1]

My fiance went to his interview in at the US embassy in Peru. They told him he needed more paperwork. So I received and email that states that his case is in an administrative process. What does that mean?they ask for more information.

Not many details to go on, usually they give you piece of papers telling you what they require and your fiance need to provide it. Do you know what was missing?

he would have been given a 221g paper telling him what documents to submit

CEAC site will say "refused"  till they have documents and make a decision to approve or deny

They wanted my original copy of my divorce and some police reports he was missing plus a whole page of questions like 15 years of traveling, residency, social media and work places related

Sounds like form DS-5535. For divorce decree, you should be able to get certified copy from court where you got divorced and provide it to him. Police reports? Do you mean police clearance? That is something you suppose to get before going to the interview.

I’m glad I submitted my divorce paper with a wet signature. It’s a very controversial subject in here. But USCIS should have caught this early on. Why they’re just asking it now at the end of the process.

There was nothing to "catch" early on.  USCIS does not ask for original documents....nor should anyone send original documents unless USCIS specifically asks for them.  Consulates (part of The Department of State), on the other hand, are VERY specific about stating that they want to see original civil documents.  USCIS is not part of DOS.  The OP's issue occurred at the Consulate...not USCIS. 

In your case, the consulate will still want original documents at the interview.

 

Since Consulate Officers are the sole approval authority for all visas, they demand originals in order to ensure authenticity.

 USCIS accepts civil document copies.  Consulates require original civil documents.

My fiancée has just a copy. Should I get another new one from the court so I can give it to her prior to her interview. 

Yes.  Otherwise, prepare for a 221G and a delay.  Good luck.
