Oh man I am so sorry to hear about the AP rose.gif i would have gotten their names and knowing me i would write a letter to the USEM,NVC,USCIS and anyone else who was involved in this process and let them know of your experience and how this affected your family its just sad that they can do things like this to people and get away with it mad.gif I have heard some harsh stories on here about the CO's and thats not fair someone should be responsible for ensuring that everyone receives just treatment at USEM good.gif I can understand if they feel the need to put you in AP thats fine but for them to grill you for 5 hours and then assume that you will not be able to support your wife is just not right, i don't know why they find the need to have people sit there for hours as if they are being held hostage its not right and no one should leave with a blue slip with no reason as to why you got the blue slip they are required to let you know in writing why they are placing you in AP..but everything will work out they kept your passport which is a good sign good.gif and GOOD overcomes all EVIL so don't let them get to you rose.gif rose.gif it will all work out for you good.gif


Best of luck to you and your wife kicking.gif

Wise answer because he could've of gotten paronoid. Like who knows the population. The only population that matters to you is your wife and her family. If they ask you a question like that again give him/her the number of people in your wife family and let the CO's know that is the only population you care about.


أنا أعرف أن قلبك مليء بالحزن ، ولكن الفرح سيأتي في وقت قريب . أدعو الله لك وزوجتك أن تحصل على تأشيرة دخول.
