I just got married and want all the tips and advice on what to do next. Fiance came on a K1. We got married within 90days and applied for her Social Security Number. Waiting for that and marriage license. Applying for her I-485 next. What tips and advice do you have?!

@rikko they put us in AP because I develop govt technology. I had to hire a lawyer to file a mandamus suit to get an answer. Everytime we emailed the consulate, they just gave us a automated email saying they don’t know how long it’ll take

@rikko We waited 10 months altogether and didn't hear anything from the embassy or AP offices in WA. So after extensive research, we decided to go with a lawyer and file a Mandamus suit. We chose: John Ting, Ting Law Group, (removed) They charged us $4000 to file. They took care of everything and you are able to make monthly payments. As soon as we filed, it only took a few days to get a response and my fiance got approved! The whole process with the lawyers took about 3 weeks total. My fiance has her k1 visa now and we are planning on her coming through LAX. (removed)

Thank you for your quick response. And, yes you are right • We have been waiting 🙄 • I actually did contact both my state rep, and my district rep. - The district rep sent an email and got the same response we did, " Please wait and be patient..." • And I think the last one would probably cause them to deny it at this point since the case is in the hands of DOS. It seems like most cases have waited around 9 months for AP. I was hoping to hear better news

Hello all! I was wondering if anyone is in AP or Administrative processing at the moment? Me and my fiance applied for a K1 visa a while ago. After her interview in Poland in 12/2022, they have put her case into AP. It has been around 5 months now and still waiting. Has anyone gone through AP recently? How long has it taken you? Any help or advice you can give please? Thanks!
