After Interview at Embassy in Syria

[trekkin2k7 0]

My wife had her interview at Embassy in Damascus 2 days ago....most everything went OK, they asked a whole host of questions, everything every little detail...in the end they were not satisfied with photos of us together and the letters that I sent her....they asked her to bring in proof that we were in contact - copies of phone bill. So they gave her this blue paper (or it may have been red, I don't remember), and told her to bring the phone bills the next day.

I had to fax her my phone bills showing her phone number and that we communicated over the phone over the past 8 months. So she went back today AM and handed them in. The Embassy took them and gave her this yellow card and told her to come back in 2 weeks (Feb 19th). They also had her provide her fingerprints today also(all 10 fingers).

Does anyone know what is going on, why it's taking so long, what are they looking for that is taking 2 weeks for her to go back there? Has anyone been through this? Could they be asking for anything else when she goes back do you think? I mean, I'm hoping once she goes back in on the 19th, they will take her passport and tell her to come back in 2 days (Thursday) for her Visa, but I really am not sure if that's what will happen, or they will make it more complicated...

Thanks for any advice anyone on her can offer.

I'm not familiar with the embassy in Damascus, but it sounds promising. What is written on the yellow card? Usually there is administrative processing in MENA countries (a name check for the beneficiary). As the beneficiary is female, the check *should* be relatively fast.
