I am so sorry to hear her readiness to leave you after only being in AP for 6 months. Its truly to early to be throwing in the towel considering the time you already waited. My husband and I was in AP for 15 months and renewed our Medical report 3 different times. The last time was only for new TB test and DS-260 confirmation page. I am sorry to say That is nothing you can do to speed up AP. You must clear your background check and have a valid medical report before they approve and Issue visa. You must get your wife now involved in your visa process if she is not already. I have seen lots of comments by other members saying they connected their Congress member for help. Some say it works ...other say it does not. Have you done the DS-260 online??? That is something you and your wife can work on plus it will be one less thing holding you back. I can only speak on my experience with my Senator office these pass 6 months. I felt like you lost and alone so I had nothing to lose by contacting my Senator office for my Florida district. He was amazing and professional. His office was able to get my case moving again, they contacted the Cairo Embassy and were able to find out that our visa was already issued 6/7 months ago. I called the NVC and asked to speak with a supervisor to confirm this. I told them my Senator office emailed me some disheartening information about my case and the Embassy was not answering my emails( had not gotten a response in over 3 weeks). They give me her number and told me to call the next day at 130 pm. I did....and they admitted it was true. I felt at least I had someone that could get the Embassy to respond to my questions ( The NVC could not...I tried them first.) You and your wife must stand together and fight. Talk to each other , love each other and plan for your future together. Use this time in AP for prayer and getting your loose ends in order. You must know that you did everything possible to make it work and if she does not want to stay after that...then she was never committed to you in the first place. Sorry

July 10th was my husbands appointment at the Cairo Embassy with the Consular Officer. We have finally reached the end of the tunnel. He was approved for his visa and offered plenty words of congratulations from the Officer( from my understanding he was a very happy man).

My husband account of his appointment:

I showed up at 7 am at the gate got in 7:30 and my name was on gate I took off my shoes and belt cuz they have too much metal to cross the gate then I put shoes in X-ray to check it might hiding something in it then got my things back and went inside the embassy. I took number and waited to be called.

A Egyptian lady working in embassy was placing files in order and put my number on my file so the Embassy officer can call me by number. The Embassy officer called my number the officer was so nice smiling man said good morning sir i replied good morning to you too sir.

He asked me if the lady give you DHL paper to Write your address on it. I told him no so he got one for me and told me write your address here, so i did. Then the officer told me put your 4 right hand fingers on the finger scanner so i after that he told me he will reactivate the visa in the next two weeks so i smiled so he told me you look so happy told him yes sir i have been 15 month in this AP ....yes i can see that ,the officer said.

He asked me which part of the state i will go told him Jax FL told me hmmm nice place i hope you enjoy living there and welcome to US. I told him thanks sir he asked me when was last time you saw your wife told him March told me so she were here recently told him yes he said okay.

It turns out that it was not a signature they needed. The appointment was for fingerprinting, DHL confirmation form for delivery of passport and Waybill number.

Thank you G Walters for your sweet encouragement you were right. The Officer told my husband that they had to reactive his visa because it was issued but never sent to us 6 months ago.

Its has been a very long journey that started 4 years ago with a simple "hi and a simple Good Night. I can not praise Allah enough for all the blessings he has provided for me. I can finally say we can start planning for our future as husband and wife.

~~moved to waivers and AP from IR1/CR1 process and procedures as OP is out of the normal process and procedures for CR1/IR1 and so they can get the help they need from others in the same process~~

Tuesday December 17, I sent a email (SEE BELOW) to the Cairo Embassy for any information about my husband AP status. I basically begged for any information they can share with me and this was the response... We will be contact you shortly about your husband case. I was just happy to see a response that was not their old generic email but it still left questions unanswered.
Today DHL delivered my husband passport to his home with a letter stating that he needed to renew his medical, police record and passport. After renewal send back to Embassy.
Alhamdulillah. I have waited for so long. My hubby was in Hurghada when he received the call from the Embassy so he is traveling right now to his home so he can renew his documents.
With Allah blessings this part of our journey will finally end.
