H&A&N

Yea, maybe they are moving along better.
Anyway, I decided to email the embassy to see what time and what else my husband should bring in with him along with his passport and I've noticed that they have an automated email that gets sent back right away saying this:
Dear IV Customers,

Please be advised that the Center for Disease Control has issued new
guidance regarding testing applicants for tuberculosis. The new CDC
guidance will require applicants for immigrant visas to obtain their
medical examination at least 3 days prior to their immigrant visa
interview. Embassy Sana'a will begin implementation of the new CDC
guidance on August 31st of this year. For those applicants with
appointments scheduled after August 31st, you will need to obtain your
medical exam at least 3 days prior to your interview. Thank You!

Sana'a IV Unit
Ok, thanks for the update but when will they answer my questions? Lol. I sent the same email twice and they send me their same email twice within seconds of sending mines.

Lol, let's all hope so.

Yes I have. & you are right, its going to be tough. The next 3months are going to go by sooooo slow. You just have to hang in there.

The women with approved interviews, they keep their passports because they will not undergo AP. Meaning, they will stamp their visas and were told to come back to pick them up.

They don't take your passport if you are placed on AP, after AP is finished, they call you to bring in the passport. Why would you be denied if they verbally told you everything in your folder is fine? I wouldn't worry if I were you.

That is the ultimate routine for a male now. Has the interview, all documents are found, gets placed on AP for about 3-4months, gets call to bring in his passport, gets a receipt saying come back in two weeks with visa stamped in passport. If you ask me, thats not bad at all compared to what they were doing before.

I also want to tell everyone that when going to interviews the counsel likes it when both wife and husband go to the interview togther because they belive you more thats if its possible for u to go and if u r in yemen...

If it makes any of you ladies feel a little better, I personally know three friends who have filed for theyre husbands and they went through the exact thing I stated in my previous post THIS year. My husband is currently waiting to bring in his passport in June after being in AP with the IR-1 for 3months now. (We started with K3 in 2009 has been in AP since 2010, so i continued the IR-1 and noticed things moved faster for us. Yes! we were in AP for more then THREE YEARS!)

Look on the bright side Zuhala, atleast your husband doesnt have to deal with AP. You have a receipt!

We all hope so too but I highly recommend that you think about it very carefully. They actually get excited to have a reason to reject someone. What makes me mad is still rejecting someone and placing them on AP even after ALL documentation is found and update. But I do wish you the best of luck. I'm just happy this embassy is slowly but surely moving along finally.

I think the best evidence is your passport. That shows all the stamps on exit and entry of the USA. I believe that should be enough. However, I havent heard of anyone that was asked to show evidence but you should have it handy of course.
