Administrative Processing vs Administrative Review

[cshell 0]

Hi All,

I'm writing on behalf of a friend and his wife who just had their interview in Guyana for a K-3 visa. It didn't clear yet and the case is now going to be placed in Administrative Review. My friend asked if Administrative Processing (AP) is the same as Administrave Review (AR)? I said that I was unsure. When my then fiance went to the embassy interview in Guyana on a K-1 visa he was given AP and they took his passport and said that it would be about 2 weeks, but instead it was 2 1/2 months with 2 visits by inspectors once to his home and a second to the neighbors. So my friend said that they took his wife's passport and that they said at the embassy that things look good and it will probably be a week. In both of our cases no additional documents were requested. So my friend is trying to figure out if it will be 1 week or 2 months!

thanks
