My husband was on AP for 65 days, initially they never said approval or denial just that they had to review all the chats and supporting documents. The CO told my husband, "I will call you back in one week or two the latest." He gave him the 221g stating reviewing the application. We called back after 10 days and they said, "he is still reviewing the application but he will call when it is complete." after 14 days I emailed the Embassey and got no response. I finally called DOS after 40 days and was informed we were under AP that went on til the end of Jul when they called him back for a second interview. He was approved and he came home one day after he got the visa.
I met many people on Vj some with shorter AP and many longer wait time. Some they did not keep the passport others they did. All except one of those I met on AP got approved. Try not to worry, I looked at it this way. My husband has a clean record, is well respected in his cimmunity, we knew we were in a legitimate marriage. We provided proof of mortgage, insurance, joint accounts, joint tax return, visits, lol his cat loves me but beats up on family and friends this really pleased the CO, pics with extended family they all love me and the feeling is mutual. We hated the wait but I did not worry I knew they had to do their job and regardless of their decision they could never change the fact that he is and will continue to be my husband. Even though it would not be ideal we were ready to sacrifice either being apart a bit longer or my family relocating to Morocco. Either way we are and will be husband and wife. Keep positive thoughts it will be over soon.
God bless and will keep you in prayer.
Wow your AP has been long, hope you hear good news soon. I know the feeling of just waiting and not knowing when it will end, I will keep you both in prayer.
Salam Alikom everyone , I just wanted to share my hard experience , it might be useful for some people who had or having the same one
My interview was set on Dec,2011 , I appeared at the embassy for my interview with all the Evidence they might ask me to show " photo Album , hundreds of Chats , Phone cards , Western union Receipts , cards " and I was ready for any Questions they might ask me about our Relationship and anything includes my wife's life , but since I have been to the USA twice , and I applied at an immigration attorney for extension of my visa , that made them suspect me .
the interview Kept asking me about that immigration attorney thing and how do i know the person I put his name as the sponsor " My cousin and his american wife " , and she didn't ask me to show any Evidence of what I brought to the interview .. then , she handled me a piece of paper which says " Section 221(g) " >> " your case is being Referred to the Fraud prevention unit for investigation " .. then she said " we are done for today , we will contact you " with no Smiles but I smiled and said thank you !
I was not in Shock , I knew that process is going to end because my marriage is REAL ! if they sent it to that Fraud thing or even sent it back to USCIS office , I knew that would end with my visa to go see my wife !!
Here is what I did after the interview : 1- called my wife told her what happened , she was a sleep and she thought that was a nightmare ,
2- My wife called our Lawyer and immediately the lawyer sent a letter and an email to the embassy , so did my wife .
3- 10 days later , My wife contacted her congresswoman , and they contacted the washington office to know my case status
2 weeks later " which is 2 month total time after the interview " they called my from the embassy , and they asked me to Submit my passport so they can print my visa " I felt so happy and I called my wife to tell her the Great news , I submitted my passport by DHL right after i called my wife , and I got my passport 6 days later !
