WHO SHOULD REALLY BE PUT ON AP

[bankermai 1]

those who has suspicious documents/relationship and not because you're from particular country.

and i also think AP should be done before the interview

[morocco4ever 63]

Moroccan men with bad wives should.

[nurse1967 287]

Look up "Egyptian" in the dictionary and evidently that's who should go through AP

[Chica Yeyé 41]

Moroccan men with bad wives should.

tru dat.... and let's not forget Mexican b1tches that marry USCs. those are BAD.

[trinket 30]

OP, I understand you are frustrated but lets get things right

--Immigration is not a right its a privileged.

--US as a country has a right to give or deny immigration to anyone it wants

--US has the biggest concerns of security.

If you think AP shouldn't be based on where a person is from, you are WRONG. Forget US, even India doesn't give everyone from Pakistan visa and vice a versa.

The question is about security, I am not being racist here but there has been accounts where the intending immigrant has done harm to particular country and that's why rules are so strict for certain countries to attain visa. Even with Indian muslim male, they go through AP, its not the end of the tunnel, its just one of the passage you have go through.

So chin up and accept the AP rather than complaining how unfair it is. Doesn't matter how much you hate the rules, rules are rules, you have to accept it.

Not to rain on everyone's parade here, but what is an AP?

[chinese_mutt 11]

I agree. Immigration is not a right. And AP is not about racial discrimination; safety of the general public is a big concern.

I would put the following criteria on AP

People who do not have enough evidence to show bonified, ongoing relationships

Those who do not have the financial means to support each other and thus become a burdeon on society

Those who have names matching members of society who have the intent to do harm to citizens of the USA

Those people who have backgrounds or lapses of accountable time or which might have participated in activities perceived to be malicious to citizens of the USA

Those people who have criminal backgrounds or past activities which would warrent further scrutiny

Situations where information given does not match intel

Ties to criminals or a criminal element either through family or friends

Finally; Situations where the relationship has factors which might warrent closer scrutiny, such as several visa requests from multiple partners, visa denials, previous deportation or visa violations, extreme age differences (not that this is wrong as love knows no age boundries, but I believe it should at least be looked at closer if there are 1 or more other "warning signs" with it), very short courtships (again, not that this is wrong, just need further scrutiny), not meeting in person and other "red flags"...

In essence, every person being put on AP, although it is a GIANT hassle and heartache, (and yes, there are admittedly wrongful denials and such) once you have entered this country, it should be realized that all of these checks are done for the benefit of the citizens. Residing here is a privledge and this process does not guarantee to keep out the "bad guys and girls" but I believe it is done in good faith... Just ask some of the people who have been "scammed" and only found out through this rigerous process....

I do agree that racial profiling is in "theory" not correct, but unfortunaly that is the world we live in today. Threats and bad people can come from anywhere, and I agree that using basic intel to isolate areas where these threats are most prevalent is used in every aspect of todays world. A cop does not sit on a dead end street hoping to catch speeders nor troll the retirement homes looking for cocaine dealers... They go to busy streets for speeders and bad neighborhoods for dealers... Same concept. Sucks for those good people caught up in it, but a necessary step... I believe most immigration (not all) have the greater good in mind with what they do and try to use their experience to guide them.

Sorry for getting long winded, just saying what I feel.... I do not mean to offend anyone and sincerely wish everyone the best on their journey....

I APPRECIATED THIS EXAMPLE.. I THINK IT WAS VERY WELL PUT... SO THANK YOU. I AM WAITING IN AP FOR MY FIANCE AND I HAVE ALWAYS UNDERSTOOD ITS BENEFITS TO KEEPING ALL US CITIZENS SAFE... BUT I DO BELIEVE IT COULD BE DONE MORE EFFICIENTLY. I AM ON MY 11TH MONTH WAITING AND IT FEELS ABOUT 5 MONTHS TOO LONG.

[cdneh 3,112]

We were in AP for 7 weeks previous to k1 interview. We were not in one of the so called 'high fraud ' countries.

[christeen 966]

It is always difficult to understand when something is effecting you... That is true for ANYTHING!!! And sometimes there is a cop that sits on our residential street, so sometimes I guess their aim is way off!!! Hang in there guys, if everything is on the up and up, then you have to believe that eventually they will realize that and move on. All of this seems like an eternity but keeping in perspective that when we are old and with our SO's, this will be but a tiny moment in our lives together! Best of luck to all in AP!
