Has anyone applying/ applied for K1 visa undergone Administrative Processing (AP)? [merged threads]

[boshra 1]

Hello everyone,

 

after about 13 months of being in the process of I-129f, USCIS finally approved my application and sent it to the NVC, then NVC after 3 months sent the application to US Consulate in Naples, Italy, where my fiance is a resident of. 

 

we were able to get him an interview for k1, after I went in for my k1 fiance visa interview, I received a letter from the officer saying "it is not possible to issue an immigrant visa, as you have been found ineligible under the section 212 (a)(7)(B)(I)(L), you application requires administrative processing" what does that mean?

 

anyone else has had anything similar to this, thank you

So what exactly are you missing from your file? What document is needed? Or is this just AP (admin processing)?

[boshra 1]

Thanks for your reply.

 

there are two decisions one is section 221(g) for missing documents such as incomplete affidavit of support or evidence of relationship. Which is not checked 

 

then there is the section 212 (a)(7)(B)(i)(L) and the one where it says “your application required administrative processing” is checked.

Sounds like AP.

Does that mean it has something to do with his educational background? Because he is originally born in another country and got his bachelors degree in that country.

it could be anything. All we can do is speculate

From my reading, the two are related.  You need to get a proper I134 affidavit of support submitted.

 

Good Luck!

At the time of the interview we had prepared two affidavit of supports just in case. But once they checked mine they didn’t request for another one they said it was enough.

Did the form indicate any other documentation that was missing?  212 (a)(7)(B)(I)(L) is fairly general.  Was your fiancé's passport close to the 6 month expiration date?

 

(B) Nonimmigrants

(i) In general

Any nonimmigrant who-

(I) is not in possession of a passport valid for a minimum of six months from the date of the expiration of the initial period of the alien's admission or contemplated initial period of stay authorizing the alien to return to the country from which the alien came or to proceed to and enter some other country during such period, or

(II) is not in possession of a valid nonimmigrant visa or border crossing identification card at the time of application for admission,

Usually the person being interviewed will know what happened at the interview and will have a good idea of the issues involved.

My fiancé said they asked him questions about his degrees and what he studied and where he got his bachelors degree and once he said he got his bachelors in his home country they asked what his thesis was about and he said it was based on AI damages and liabilities and than soon after the officer gave him that paper

What country?

Country combined with Qualifications?

A most astute question. I suspect OP is now flow controlled so we will be waiting a while.

He is a citizen of Iran and studied law in that country. But there are so many people with his background in education from that country who have been able to get visa
