Sure, some are resolved in 60 days, however if you go to the AP forum you'll find that not ALL are

Good luck

AP cases from friendly countries are resolved quickly. Cases from countries with a significant non christian population tend to take 6 months to over a year.

The magic word here is "most." Some people end up in AP for years.

It's not a religious thing. It is about fraud and poverty.

Countries with a high standard of living have fewer cases of fraud because people are not desperate to come to the US. Generally, these countries also happens to be in Europe and predominantly Christian.

Countries with low standards of living and high rate of poverty have high levels of immigration fraud because people are desperate to come to the US. These countries happens to be in Central America, South America, Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and the former Soviet bloc countries. Central America and South America have plenty of Christians and it is not uncommon for AP there to last over a year.

So, it is not being from "countries with a significant non christian population" that lands a person in a long AP, it is high rate of immigration fraud and poverty.

This is correct. Blaming the differences on religion or race are the result of the most common logical fallacy engaged in by man, called "Post hoc, ergo propter hoc." or "Coincidental Correlation". Essentially the fallacy is "B follows A, therefor A caused B. It's the poverty that tends to motivate the fraud and the fraud that brings the need for extra scrutiny. An exception is when the fraud is motivated by a religious motivation to enter the USA to engage in violent Jihad. Countries with a history of that kind of fraud span the range of economics and race but do have a religion in common.
