Hey, glad to see everyone's progress here! I am leaving for Palestine on Wednesday, and I am bringing some evidence with me to give to my wife for her interview. I would like to list it here, and if there is something else someone could think of, let me know.
-Skype Call Records (over 250 pages on legal paper, and Skype would only let me go back 6 months)
-T-Mobile call records directly to my wife's mobile number
-Notarized/Sworn affidavits from my parents expressing their knowledge and support for our marriage
-Notarized/Sworn affidavits from her parents expressing their knowledge and support for our marriage]
-Notarized/Sworn affidavits from 2 friends of mine and 2 friends of hers expressing their knowledge and support for our marriage
-Copies of e-mails sent
-Pictures of our mobile phones displaying the text messages (as there are no phones allowed in the consulate)
-I will give her my wedding ring which bears the same engraving (our names & date of marriage contract) as her wedding and an earlier ring she gave me in 2008 that has her named engraved.
-100 informal pictures
-25 engagement party photos
-25 wedding party photos
-One engagement party invitation
-One marriage party invitation
-Copies of my passport that show entry into Jordan/Palestine
-Copies of her passport that show stamps with same date of leaving Palestine as I did (she basically traveled to Jordan with me to say farewell when I returned to the U.S.)
-Pictures of her gold that was given as the dowry
-My 3 year tax transcripts
-My co-sponsor 3 year tax transcripts
-Copy of my biographical page of my passport
-Copy of co-sponsor's biographical page of passport
-Transcripts from the university I attended to show the dates and hours I was enrolled in school and couldn't have possibly been working a full time job to meet the income requirements
-Letter from Human Resources of my university that stated the amount of hours I was allowed to work a week as a student assistant (18.5) and the wage I was making (7.50), (again to show why my tax return was so low)
-Copy of my university degree
-Notarized employment letter of my current job, giving rational to my degree/major, and showing my hourly/wage plus over time as well as my span of employment
-And my business card for good measure.
I will organize it all neatly and give it to her. I will also instruct her not to give them any evidence unless they ask for it.
What do you all think?

These are federal employees, not state...

I am so happy the internet world has people like you who are some how so uniquely enlightened to give people like me some sort of "benefit of the doubt" as you described it. Thank you so much for that, really.
Of course, because I used correct punctuation if my sentences it eliminates the possibility that I may have accidently omitted a word such as female "beneficiary" or "spouse". No, it means that I am sort of sexist who goes around a web site, not designed to benefit males or females both in particular, and openly flaunts my male chauvinism.
That is one way to see it, but this is how I see it: I see it as you, a person void of any error completely because you always remember to cross your T's and dot your I's, saw a post in which a person who's English is a second language had a hard time phrasing a question politically correctly, so because they are from a "Muslim" country, it obviously means this person is some sort of sexist jerk, who keeps his "female" (as you so callously described yourself and other members of your gender) within arm's distance at all times. It is NO WAY fathomable that they forgot a word or phrased the question incorrectly, right?
I would appreciate if you stopped giving me the benefit of the doubt and stopped being racist. You see the difference between your post and my original one is that it is way more likely for anyone to see I had probably forgotten a word, you on the other hand just come of bigoted and way to self-righteous.

Ok...it may just be me, but he started the post saying male & female....my question would be, would everyone be freaking out as muc if he said "It would be interesting if anyone who had a male undergo AP could share their experience. Was it quick/short, something to concern myself with at this point in my immigration process?" I guess I'm also used to my fiance talking and wording things a little differently sometimes. I think AP is getting ppl a little tense here Lets try to give the guy a break & help instead of critisize right away.
I only know of experience that I've witnessed, and from what I'm seen through Morocco...most females/women go through quickly. Here's the link for the MENA forum: Middle East and North Africa Forum You might get more country specific answers there. Best of luck in your visajourney.
