K1 Visa: Administrative Review
Posted by: bddy on: July 13, 2008
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.

hi there!
in my case, i did NOT bring any documents from US embassy, I just went to the nearest consulate office in my location, since i am not from manila. At the japanese consulate office, i told the security guard that i will request for police certificate and i was allowed to come inside and talk to the staff, right then she handed me the procedures / requirements, like passports old/new and this a form there that you need to fill in and need to do the finger mark ( sorry i forget the term) like in NBI, all your fingers. and then told me that it takes 2 -3 months before i can have bcos they will mail our request to japan and and whatever the result from japan they will call us to pick it up or if in 2 months you did not hear from them ,you need to call them…..
you know i requested police certifcate from japan twice bcos the first one was misplaced, but they still give me a chance but it cause the delay of my visa almost 2 weeks after my interview, i got my visa delayed due to my P.certificate.
if i were you , i will go to the embassy, do not call, and you will be intertained by the right person

I am glad that yo uare going to kauai too! i told my husband and he’s happy too…. we are in Lihue, wish to meet you guys someday!
Regarding AR, it your case will be reviewed again, depending on the volume of applicants on AR when you submitted the required docs. Some in a month, but the best thing to do is to contact delbros, since all approved visa will be given to them for delivery.
When I was on AR, while I was in manila, went to USEM but failed to come inside but interviewed by their staff outside, i ask them ask to how long i will wait, they told me the it might be 2 weeks or a month. So i went back to davao, after 2 days delbors text me. I also keep contacting delbros about my case status.
be patient you will be here sooooooooon

mahalo so much for replying!!!..it would be fun to meet you guys someday too…i’ll tell my fiance about it..he’s from lihue as well…uhmmm, how am i gonna be able to contact delbros?? do you have their contact number?? i only have their mobile number but they don’t accept incoming calls…they only reply to messages that are sent after paying the document verification fee…and how long exactly did you get your visa after the day you were given the pink and white slip??
i keep calling the USembassy call center but they keep telling me to wait for a call from them within a month after we submitted the documents..do they really call?? or is it possible that they will just send me my visa without getting a call from them?? i go crazy everytime my phone would ring and i get really sad knowing that it’s not from them..i know it sounds pathetic…tsk..tsk.. anyway, may i know your first name so that the next time i will write to you i can address you by it??

Hi,
I had my interview last March 25, 2009 but they re scheduled me again for another interview last Apri 23, 2009. It was a 5 hours interrogation at the Fraud Department Unit. I always following up the status of our visa and then last week when i call them they ask me a copy of the W2 for 2007 and 2008 of my husband and my husband did. When i follow up last Thursday, they said that it’s on the Case Officer now. Is that the only thing they need the W2 and how long will it take? Hope i will know the time frame. Hope you can help me to know about it.
Take care.

Based on my experience, when you recieved AR form, the important documents that needs to be submitted are in the checklist. Besure to comply it. As to the time frame of your application, it will be one of the following if I am not mistaken:
1. the volume of applications during the time you submitted affected the time of processing.
2. being said that the papers are already in the case officer does not guarantee for the approval of the visa but assuming you submitted the required docs, they will be no problem.
Assuming that you have no more issues for another review, it may take weeks or months. In my case I only waited for 2 weeks, others waited for months.
Hi,
Thank you for your reply. I just want want to know if the documents are already complete, how will i know that our visa is approved or not? Actually, we have 3, my two (2) kids and I. It is now enrollment time and i don’t know if i am going to apply my kids because we’re still waiting for our visa and we’re still hanging. I keep on Praying that our visa will not be denied since they only need the W2 of my husband.
Thank you and regards.

hello !
i would like to ask if i really need a request letter from us embassy before i can apply for a police certificate from japan ?my interview date will be on the 25th,but i guess we have to reschedule it 
.
how can i get a request letter from us embassy ?
tnk u so much,
kikay
@kikay,
I was from Davao, I went to Japanese consulate and asked for Police Certificate Application forms. I showed my passport and ID’s. No letter from US embassy. It takes 2-3 months before you can receive your police certificate from Japan. Do not re-schedule. You can still have the interview even without the Police Certificate. You your case will be under administrative review for police certificate. your visa will be released as soon as you can submit the required document.
