Finally after 8 1/2 months of AP, I can report they approved the visa! We went tio the embassy on Thur. and had the second interview. It wasn't much of an interview, just a few simple questions and then the guy just said the visa was approved! I was looking at the paperwork he had in front of him, and it looked like a checklist of things that were checked off. Must have been about 6 or so things that they were waiting to receive info about, before ending AP. I figured if they were not going to give us the visa, we would have been notified by mail that our case was being sent back to U.S. If they were asking us to return for a second time, I was sure as hell hoping we weren't going to be rejected or just remain in a holding pattern.

Thanks for all the prayers and positive thoughts- I hope there will be good news for those waiting...

I updated the tracker. I hope the AP is over quickly at least you were prepared for the AP. I think that makes it a lot easier. Find peace in that you are one step closer to the end of you visa journey. Good Luck

You're not gonna believe this: she did reveive her visa by courier. BUT, she opened the contents and also opened an envelope that is sealed and for the U.S. Immigration at the POE. It says not to open, but she didn't notice it and opened it. So, now she will have to go back to the embassy to have it re-issued, and that could be a several weeks process... I just can't seem to catch a break. Will keep you posted...
