E2 Spouse Visa - Administrative Processing London Embassy - Any experience?
Hi All,
I have been with my fiance for a little over 2 years. We were going to get married later this year.
I moved here on an E2 Visa last February. My at the time Fiance (Now my wife) came over to see me on back to back ESTA's. She was advised to get a B1/B2 Visa. Unfortunately this was denied twice under 214b.
As a result, we decided to bring the wedding forward and got married on 4th January in Tobago. She had her interview at the Embassy last Monday, 14th January. They took a copy of my visa and our marriage certificate and issued her a 221g letter stating Administrative Processing; no further information was necessary and was told that she would "receive an E-Mail shortly"
Any ideas why this may be the case and it wasn't issued there and then? Do they do additional security checks or are they checking our marriage is legitimate as she went from a B1 refusal to an E2 spouse?
I would be grateful to hear of anyone else's similar experiences and expected wait times?
Many thanks,
