K1 visa : Help me out for my Administrative Processing thoughts after my interview

[ttAndtt 9]

Hi All,

 

I would like to share about conditions and I would like to know your thoughts on it.

1. I had the interview on Oct 31st.
2. Since our relationship was 20 years ago with old photos,  it went pretty well with the Consular.
3. She even told me like
4. "why your gf is worried, in the end it is always approved"
5. But there is one problem, due to my late registered Birth Certificate they need secondary evidence documents for my BC.
6. So they refused my visa with 221g. They told me send those required documents with passport.
7. She again said 
8. "you are planning to travel on Dec, it will be ok she guessed if I provide the document in time"

but when I returned all the required documents, they replied me this

"Your application has been placed under administrative processing. The process could take several weeks to several months to complete. You may wish to retrieve your passport (without visa) from the consular section on Tuesday or Wednesday at 11.00 am. Please bring along a copy of this mail to access the consular section."

 

I understand the AP is black box, I have to wait. But I am having so many thoughts and wondering why they have to reply that email to get back my passport without visa.
One of the thing they asked for is "School records", I gave them

1. Matriculation Examination Pass Certificate
2. Bachelor Degree in our Country
3. Advanced Diploma from NCC Education from UK in our Country

is it because of those documents, are they taking more time to verify them? 

Or anything what it could be?
I just want to hear from your guys to treat my mind ....

Thanks

As the note from the consulate said, it could take several weeks to several months to complete the verification of your identity.  This is common for applicants with late-registered birth certificate.
