If it is in AP, security AP, then it is out of the hands of the Consulate.

AP can depend on a lot of factors.  Travel history, common name, where you live or other details no one outside the embassy really knows.  This website gives great advice for the most part (after you bypass the many judgmental post).  Anyone waiting almost a year in the black hole called AP would have some sense of desperation.. and moving to Pakistan maybe a thought but as an American woman the last resort.   Not everyone can just pick up and leave there entire estate, children (if any) and career just like that.   Besides that fact that AP could result in a denial (which then you could make these types of plans) OR an issue of the visa.  Without any concrete answers as to how long and the result its difficult to make such challenging life changes.   

 

You and your wife have all life together.   After several years of marriage when you look back to the few hard years in the beginning it will just be  a memory.

Travel history could  be a reason to for AP? I traveled to dubai two times for visit only .will it be a problem for me too ? One time i visited for one month ans second time i visited for three months

I highly doubt that will be an issue.
