Case is in AP and has been since interview I have since changed my last name to my married last name should I advise the embassy ?

Husband had his interview in Australia on October 18 they gave him a white paper asked for some additional supporting documents we gave them they have since told us they have reviewed the case and they would contact my husband. It's been 60 days in admin processing. Is it normal to keep the passport for 60 days ?

Got an email from the emabassy after I wrote them to get an update on our case. This was the response

Thank you for your email. Your spouse's case is has been reviewed and once it is determined, we will contact your spouse.

Thank you for your insight. I never looked at it that way. I never told immigration that my in laws paid for my ticket. However at the time we decided to move forward with our marriage and make it legal. His dad and mom spoke up and said don't worry We are paying for your ticket. I could have paid for it.

My parents are both deceased.

We have a co-sponsor because I'm about 900$ short of the income requirement to the amount of dependents rati. I have a child from a previous relationship. Who will be 3 soon.

On the phone interview my husband had on Tuesday the consular investigator asked my husband 3 times 3 different ways the same question. He asked if my husband had family in the states my husband replied no just my wife. Is it a bad thing he doesn't have family here?

Another thing that we are thinking that could be holding up process is he is student in Australia would the Australian embassy be waiting on some type of approval from India ?

Thank you

Thanks for your reply they kept my husband's passport from the initial interview. I forgot to mention on previous post. So we are hoping that is a good thing. It's been almost 60 days Since the first interview. We have been checking online they have only updated our case twice and emailed me once.

I'm thinking what could have caused it to go into AP and the only thing I could think of is last Christmas I asked my husband to apply for a visitor visa. He did and it was denied. He was honest and told them his wife was here we wanted to spend holiday break together but I had not yet sent the paperwork for the i130 because he was finishing his semester at his college and he had only 3 months left on his current student visa in Australia.

He extended his visa in Australia. I submitted his i130 here and here we are now.

I feel our phone interviews went well. We were completely honest. We talk everyday on FaceTime. It is a bonafide marriage. Even his family knows about me. We talk almost everyday too. His father actually paid for my trip to go to Australia when we decided to get married. He said it was our wedding gift. They also sent let of affidavit affirming that they accept our marriage and they Are planning our big Indian marriage when I go there.

We got married 9 months after meeting online. And then 7 months after marriage I applied for him.

A little bit of our history. I met my husband online thru Facebook a mutual friend tagged him in his picture and I liked his picture. We started talking online in October of 2014 and soon after became very closer thru messaging and FaceTime. Then in December he asked me to marry him I of course said yes! In Feb he introduced me to his family. In April I filed for a notice of intent to marry for Australia. Traveled to Australia got married in July 2015. Came back home and filed for him to come 7 months later in January of this year. We have went through all of the process he has had his first interview on October 18 of this year. He was given the white paper 221g and was just asked to provide the co sponsors w-2 and chats emails and phone records. We sent them. Then they asked for an interview on the phone with myself I had that, then they asked for another interview with my husband on the phone he had that. We haven't heard anything from any one. It seems they wait for approximately about a month to tell us they need something additional form us. He is an Indian native and in Australia on a student visa. What could possibly be taking soo long? I'm soo ready for my husband to be here
