Due to the gravity of a denied I-751 (USCIS no longer considers you a Lawful Permanent Resident) I would highly recommend that you consult a reputable immigration attorney. Preferably one who is a member of AILA.
There are lots of petitioners from July 2025 who are still waiting. USCIS will often start adjudicating a bit ahead to keep their average time to adjudication lower than it really is. Having gone through this myself I'll say this; be patient, stop comparing on sites that show you "the cases around you" (because they can only give you data from people who also use their site) and use this time to prepare and become an "A Student" on the steps to come so that you will not stumble because you didn't know something.
Yeah I second this.... The US Embassy is not going to ask for police clearances for the US Citizen petitioner but there is a very good chance they will ask at the CFO for your FBI history report.
From experience with Jaycel's process in the Philippines, her status stayed as "Approved" until the administrative processing was complete so it appears that it can be both "Approved" and in AP at the same time. The AP is not completed until the status changes to "Issued".
This is how I did it for Jaycel's I-129F petition with the exception of the N/A. If a section didn't apply, I wrote by hand a big N/A over the whole section
If the consular officer didn’t indicate that something else was needed, it may just be that your fiancée’s case is in Administrative Processing. Many Embassies put the status into “Refused” while AP is being conducted
Just upload the new Tax Return Transcript from the 2025 tax year. You do not need to update the entire I-864. When you go to the "Unsolicited Documents" function on the I-485 in the portal, it asks you to tell them what type of evidence you are uploading. Use the option for I-864 evidence. This is what we did when we had our updated 2024 Tax Return Transcript available
Notify USCIS in writing at the service center address on the bottom left corner of your approval notice that you are withdrawing the petition and then find the Immigrant Visa Unit support request mechanism for the embassy where it was scheduled, give them the NVC case number and tell them that you are contacting USCIS to withdraw the petition
