The US embassy sets application procedure for K1 visa applicants and it can be accesssed in thier website. Although K1 visa applicants have specifics procedures to follow but each applicant have unique experiences. Being aware of each procedure increases that chances of visa approval. There are applicants that complied all the requirements and were given the visa right after the interview. But there were also K1 visa applicant that were under Administrative Review , they call it AR. If you were given a pink slip and a whilte slip after the interview, it means that you are under AR . It can be seen in the white form the reason/s for your AR and the procedures on how to comply the required additional documents for administrative review. The length of time for AR varies from case to case.
Here are some reasons for AR:
1. If you pay delbros from 3 weeks before your interview or if you pay the delbros on the interview date. You MUST pay delbros at least month the interview to avoid delay.At that time the USEM can verify your Birth Certificate and Cenomar (Certificate of no marriage) at the National Statistics Office before your Interview. Procedures on how to pay delbros are also in the US embassy website.
2. Needs Additional supporting documents. Examples are photos together, proof of engagement, trips together proof relationship and more.
3. If your fiance/e income/saving is low and needs co-sponsor. Refer to the Affidavit of Support
4. If you stayed/work/ studied abroad for 6 months or more, you need a Police Certificate from that country and take note that Police Certificate takes 2-3 months waiting. So apply PC to the nearest consulate/embassy if this applies to you. Don't forget to bring your passport/s and you will be assisted for the procedures in getting the police certificate.
That's all for now. Additional Info about on K1 visa under administrative review is appreciate.
my fiance went for an interview for k1 visa. The consul didn't seem to believe that the relationship is real. My fiance's case is currently under AR even he has all required documents. What is the chance for him of getting a visa? What should we do while waiting for the result? Please help! Thank you in advance
