Thank you. At his interview, they told him that it was approved and would get his visa in 1-3 months, but closer to one month. They also wrote that on his green slip. Hopefully, you get good news soon.

At our interview,we are not told that we are approved but CO just said "ur case is fine and we have every thing we need to process but ur case has to go thru AP".Though the green AP letter says that ur visa has been temporarily refused.But he just assured us that AP will take about 1-3 months and hand wrote it on the green letter.
