To anyone reading this that is going through AP at the New Delhi Consulate:

On Monday the 26th my Husband called the Embassy to let them know that he was out of town on buisness and would not be returning for a few months. He wanted to confirm with them how they were going to contact him about this visa... I dont know if you have read my whole thread but they told him that they would call him or email in in a few days to a few months... well... they did neither... I called the embassy <I woke up at the witchin hour> and they told me that the visa was issued on the 29th.... to this day they have not called him/or emailed him... and when we call DOS they still have that we are pending AP...

IMO, I think that you should call the embassy twice a week, on Tuesday and Friday... Forget about calling DOS they are just d!c&s and do not give you any useful information. My Husband was told by the embassy that they try to do everything in their power to complete the AP within 90 days... so the other websites that say this are pretty right on!!

I am sorry in advance for anyone going through this... but honestly now that it is over... it didnt take that long... the months tick by and your crazy kicks in and before you know it you have had tantrums with everyone in congress including your own parents... my best friend at this time was a bottle of jack... and of course VJ... I honestly could not have gone through this process without YOU... VJ... I love you!!!!!

ooo on an after thought... when you are calling the embassy from the US you should dial 911124198062... I use Amantel as a calling service <love them> and normally when you call india you will have to dial 011 then 91 then number... I am not sure why... but you dont have to dial the 011 and you have to add a few more 111's

Thanks "Amit-N-Melody"

You rocks with all the information... you knew that we are in AR- Administrative Review" We were told to submit documents to VFS offices... We are in process of making those documents, all are complete except for one that is expected to complete in couple of days.

To me, it only make sense to call embassy after we submit the documents...(losing it) Am I correct? :star:

Hi Guys, so now I am in the same boat.

My wife is a US citizen and we got married in December 2010. We filed I-130 in March 2011 and had our interview on 4th May 2011 at New Delhi embassy. All seemed to be going well till we got to the CO for the interview only that he hardly talked. We had got the interview intimation only on 2nd May so I didn't have my medical report with me. Just after asking where I work he handed us two sheets. One was the g221 asking to submit the medical report along with my passport at New Delhi VFS and the second sheet was the dreaded mandatory AP letter. My wife was so angry as the CO didn't ask her anything neither did he see any of the photographs (we had submitted about 20 photos with I-130 and they were there in his file but we took about 100 more photographs with us). So all in all the interaction was very brief. I don't know what to make out of it. I am going to submit medical report and passport on Monday. Do you think VFS guys would have any information on this?

In hindsight I feel it was my wife's tax returns which might have created issues. My wife has been working in India for the past five years and as per US internal revenue services rules if you spend more than 330 days in a year outside of US and your income is coming from non-US sources, then your income is tax exempt up to $91,500 (my wife never made that much). Accordingly my wife's tax returns on I-864 were in negative since she is also repaying her student loans and the interest on study loans are also tax exempt. She had all these documents ready with her to respond to any such queries but the CO just didn't talk at all. Do you think it would be helpful if we also sent these clarification when I submit my medical report and passport?

Personally I don't have a positive feeling about it and looks like I have been sucked into the vortex called AP.

Glad to hear your thoughts on this.
