Looks like it wasn't so bad. :) FH was notified today that his AP was completed yesterday and that he needs to come to the Embassy with his passport. Apparently they were trying to contact him since yesterday but were calling the number he had when he was actually in Dakar. The person told him they remembered him telling them that he had a Gambia number (since his cell phone only works inside Gambia) and called that number today. He said the person was very excited to finally reach him and deliver the news.
