This is interesting. I wonder if the second notation by 5/19 indicates that there was a hit when the donkey check was completed, so additional checks were ordered then? I guess there's no way to know, but it's intriguing to see the time-line written out like this.

We were told our AP was complete and they even called my husband for his passport. 3 days after he took in his passport, they requested new checks, this was the 5/19 check. It took DOS 5 days to even start the new request. When I called DOS, a lady there advised me the new check was a more in depth check and can take up to 6 months to clear. She also said it was a multi agency check done by the FBI and other outside agency's. You can see our time-line below.

04/27/2006: INTERVIEW

05/10/2006: AP complete

05/16/2006: Consulate called to bring passport...yeah!

05/19/2006: New clearance requested

05/24/2006: New clearance acknowledged by DOS

05/25/2006: Consulate called to come get passport (no visa), back in AP...????

09/02/2006: Off for another visit...hope it's the LAST!

09/28/2006: VISA IN HAND..finally after 5 months and 1 day of AP...alhamdulillah!!!

What happened to us is not the norm, but certainly not unheard of. There are a couple other members that come to mind that went thru similar situations. There is nothing to worry about, just be prepared for a bit longer wait than others.

This is one of the most useful personal experiences posted in a loooong time.

Carshel -

How did your husband get his actual file?? I'm just curious why our visa was approved to fast and easily. I think it was one of the only cases with a male beneficiary recieving visa the next day that I've seen on here.

I've come to the conclusion that there is no rhyme or reason to what some of the Consulates do!

I don't know why they gave it to him, but they did. I did not believe him when he was telling me what they had written on it until he showed it to me when he got here. I honestly think a lot of it has to do with the fact he is a Mohamed and his last name is just as bad. It could not have been due to previous travel or his job as he had never been outside Maroc and his job was nothing technical. The lady at DOS even made a comment about his name being the possible reason.

What's crazy, it was quicker to get his Green Card than it was the Visa, and we had no interview.
