K1 Visa - Administrative Processing - Philippines

[badloss2 2]

Fiancé had her visa interview about 3 weeks ago for a K1 visa in Manila and they told her that she was approved and collected her passport. We are still showing as "Ready" on the CEAC website. Before the interview, we did have to submit a different DS-160 due to a couple mistakes on the first one. We brought that to the interview and they accepted it, as they told us to do. We have still not received her passport back so I made an inquiry and received this response:

"

Our review of records shows that your case is undergoing administrative processing.  

 

Please be advised that the duration of administrative processing varies based on the individual circumstances of each case.  The U.S. Embassy understands the importance of timely processing, but adjudicators balance the requirement to process cases in a timely manner with upholding immigration laws. Visa adjudicators review the visa........"

 

This is bad right? 😢During the interview, they did not ask for additional documents. Is this probably all because of the incorrect DS-160 that we submitted? How long of a delay do you think we could receive for this? Is there anything I could do to move the process forward?

 

Thank you for any insight into this process

Verbal approvals mean little.

It is normal, of course bad in a sense it's a delay.

Not at this point. You can wait and support your fiance morally.
