Brother AP is common for males , most of the females dont get AP so i m sure ur wife will get the Visa without that AP INSHALLAH

questions were very simple

Who is ur petitioner

Where u met

how much time u spent together before and after marrage

where ur wife lives

what is her proffession

what u know about her life

tell me the names of family and some friends of ur wife

where ur wife was born

No question was confusing or complicated , Co was very much polite and nice lady

just be confident , keep proper eye contact,reply to the point , and trust in Allah everything will be fine
