Technically, ALL countries do AP.

AP is a very complicated thing - it's easy to classify it as a "looking at muslim guys" thing but many, many US consulates implement it in one way or another. Look in the Phillipines forum, the China forum, the Southeast Asia forum....

Additionally, anything classified as a 221(g) can be considered AP - and that includes missing documents at the interview so someone from a supposedly easy country [say somewhere in the EU, for example] could put themselves in AP by not being prepared.

Technically all do it as sister Timbits Lover noted... The high fraud countries tend to do it quite often... some countries have files in AP for 6 months or more... We have a list of VJers in VN AP...

Do they classify age diffence as something for AP???

Not to sound super vague but, it would depend on the case. If everything else looks reasonable and logical but there is an age difference, that may not lead to any further processing. If the case looks questionable, an age difference only adds to the questionability [if that's even a word].

Did they request documents before AP?

I know in my case we were requested to provide letters of permission to marry from both families - having done my homework knowing New Delhi pulls that request every now and again we had them available at the interview. The CO would not take them [another New Delhi common practice] and asked that they

be forwarded thru the visa outsourcing company used in India. So I guess the answer would be no, they did not request them before AP or the interview [not listed on any correspondences from the consulate/USCIS etc]. It was a specific line item on the 221(g).

I know of others who didn't have 3 years worth of tax transcripts who got requests to provide them via a 221(g) - in essence, they put themselves in AP by being unprepared or rather underprepared.

If it were an older woman and a younger man in Pakistan.. huge red flag and possible reason for AP...

[SSB 0]

My Husband and I are not on AP....not yet... knock on wood... I just wanted to get the facts and things together so I can prepare myself for it because it I know it may happen...

My husband and I have a 1 year age difference I don't think It will be a problem he is older than me... i was asking because I see some people with 30 or 40 and 50 year age differences and they get to the USA with in 3 or 4 months so I just wanted to try to undertand why???

Thanks for trying to help
