You *do* know that AR is a distinct possibility after the interview, right ? Many, many ME/NA cases are sent for additional processing/security checks. Sometimes this takes just a few weeks, but it's not uncommon for them to take several months. So don't count your chickens before they're hatched.

Anyway best of luck for a smooth sail through the consulate, but don't book the tickets until the visa is in hand !

I think that is why the OP mentioned "If all goes well..." meaning an instant approval and no AP/AR which does happen in Casa.

VJ Hours - I am available M-F from 10am - 5pm PST. I will occasionaly put in some OT for a fairly good poo slinging thread or a donut.

AP means "administrative processing" which every one goes through after an interview. Sometimes it lasts days, sometimes months and even sometimes years. I don't believe anyone (especially males from a MENA country) gets the visa same day. Sure they may get an approval but then the case goes under processing and review. If there's a name hit then the case may be sent to Washington DC for security checks. Be aware that since you are dealing with Casa that denials are very prevelant with this embassy. Hope for the best but prepare for the worst.

We're not trying to burst your bubble. It's just that we've seen a whole lot of people go through this process (and most of them successfully, I want to point out) -- and we don't want you to set yourself up for a big disappointment if it doesn't work out quite as quickly as you've planned.

I see you're a fairly new member here. Please take some time to check other timelines of members who processed through Casablanca. You might do a search for the "Visas in Hand" thread here in this forum -- you can see other Casablanca cases tracked over the last 2 years and how long of an AR they faced (if any.) Some cases went very quickly, but many others did not. This may give you a better idea of what you might expect.

I hope that your hunch is correct and everything works out as quickly as you wish. We'll be here to cheer you on either way. Sending you lots of luck and ME/NA Mojo !

Hi Terrie--Could I ask if you have any red flags--age difference, divorces, short relationship time???? We are expecting to get our interview packet soon also. I sure do wish you good luck!! Debbie (and Hamid)
