Visa approved but having technical difficulty

[Max2 0]

My fiancée went for her interview on September 4 and had a long interview. The person doing the interview asked her a couple of questions that I have not heard asked before, one of which was: Mexico is much closer to US and has many good girls; why did not your fiance look to find someone there?

After the long interview, they told her that she was approved and for her to return the following day and pickup her passport and visa . The following day when she returned, they told had that they are have “a technical difficulty” and the visa is not ready . They told her that they would contact her when the technical difficulty is resolved. Before leaving my fiancée asked if there was anything wrong with her documents and they assured her that her document was all okay.

My fiancée told me that the day she went there for her interview there came a family for their interview. This family was also asked to return the following day to pickup their visa. My fiancée happened to arrive at the embassy the following day at the same time as this family and they actually had their visa ready for them. My fiancée called them three days later and they still told her that they are experiencing a technical difficulty. So, my question to the board is:

1. What type of “a technical difficulty” could it possibly exist that prevent an embassy from issuing a K-1 visa but not other types of visa?
2. Has anyone seen or heard that an embassy use this type of an excuse to prevent processing a K-1 visa?
3. What can we do at this point?

Thanks in advance for any assistance we get.

I see that quiet often on here, they say the printer is broke, the guy that prints the visa's didn't come in, they are out of ink blah blah......

I have wondered what is really up with that myself

There is not much you can do except go to the embassy and inquire every day or call.

Sorry to hear about your situation. Recently a friend of mine experience the same thing..."printers broken" blah, blah, blah. In her situation she phone daily and involved her congressman immediately. Come to find out, they were on AP. She didn't learn they were on AP until after her congressman's office was involved. Within about a week her fiance had his visa. I don't know if the congressional inquiry sped up the AP, or if it simply gave her information that the Embassy would not.

There seems to be a 'mysterious' check of some kind right before the visa pick up that they excuse as technical difficulties and it lasts only

a few days to a week or two.

Wish I knew what that is all about.
