Perhaps a Dumb Question...

Hi all,

I'm curious... when someone is put on AP, are they given a paper from the consulate stating this?

Thanks!

Depends on when they decide to do the AP (at interview or after) what the AP is for, and the consulate.

You can usually verbally confirm or confirm by email.

The customs also differ embassy to embassy. In general if it is pending AP, they will mention 212 or 221 with different letters after it. This is another way to know. If they did not give him any additional information, you may be able to call the Department of state at (202) 663-1225 to get more info.

They gave him a paper with a list of things we need to submit (already did... but that's besides the point...) They wanted: 1) "Lindsay to fill out I-864 not I-864ez" (I submitted I-864ez to NVC), 2) different police certificate from Italy, 3) "Lindsay's 3 most recent pay stubs" (all sent to NVC with AOS, I guess they also want more recent for some reason). That's it. They told my husband to get these things, and then return anytime to the consulate at 1pm. The officer said everything else is fine- his interview went really well. I'm still paranoid that that we'll get thrown a curve ball when he submits these. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Now we're waiting for my mail to get to him (can take 1-2 weeks) and for his record to come from Italy (his brother is getting for him). Ugh. Enough already!

It was 221g.

If it says 221g, then you are definitely in AP. It is also possible that once you hand in all of those forms, you case could go into security checks despite everything going well during the interview.

Don't they always give the form 221g if at the time of interview they are requesting additional (or another) document? Could they have given us a different code but gave us this one, that would indicate them not giving the visa once we turn the requested papers in??? Please help.

The 221g is given to you for varies reasons. One could be a request for further information, one could be for AP, one could be for a returned petition. The important thing is to read their notes next to the box they checked.

That's what I thought. They wrote a few things we needed to submit, but nothing else that would be alarming. I'm just hoping he doesn't get another 221g once he submits those because they decide for some reason to do those security checks...

Basically, I will not freakin' relax until I see him walk through those doors at O'Hare! I got us a new home this weekend. I need my husband in it. I'm so sad I want to cry, but if I start, I probably wont stop for a very long time.... holding onto hope....

[emt103c 10]

Your attitude is the best way to think. Hope for the best, but be prepared. They "can" add security checks without telling you, but there is no reason to just assume that they will.

Good luck!
