Hi everyone. I want to know if anyone has ever been told by the CO at the interview that their case would be in AP for 14 weeks or a specific time? I find it strange. I have heard people say they got 1-6 weeks, 1-2 weeks, within 2 weeks, 1-6 months. But this lady said to him 14 weeks.

Any thoughts concerns will be appreciated.

This is his interview experience.....

Approved with 14 weeks of washington AP

Husband was at embassy at 7am in a suit and tie. So handsome! and there were 100 people in a line waiting. He went into embassy at 735am He was number 628. He waited 2 hours to be called to egyptian lady speaking arabic. His papers were in a yellow folder and a yellow sheet of paper was on top

She asked one question. How long you been married.

He went and paid DHL

He waited another 2 hours

CO was a american woman light brown hair with glasses

She asked many questions.

Were you married before?

Was she married before?

How did you know you loved her?

What is the evolution of your relationship?

Did you ever travel to usa or anywhere before.

Does she have kids

Did you meet her kids

Did she meet your family

Did you have a wedding party-asked 3 times

DId your dad buy her any gifts-asked about 2-3 times

SHow me your favorite picture of her with family-he showed us with his parents in a thick phto album.

I sent pics with I-130 of his cousins engagement party where we dressed up but i labeled them as cousins engagement party

When did you first meet

Did she come to egypt to meet you only or visit egypt and you

How many visits did she make

When was the last visit?

She then said Congratulations on your visa and she handed him a white sheet of paper with nvc number and embassy website

He said Am I in AP?

She said What?

SHe said what is AP?

OH WOW! Well, on the bright side, congratulations on your approval. Sooner or later, your husband will join you for the rest of your life!

However, this was my worry with "no americans allowed in the embassy" policy. Sounds to me like they are cracking down.

14 weeks? With all those questions, she really somewhat drilled him, especially asking him if his dad bought you any gifts. I'm sorry about this delay. Hopefully she made a mistake and meant 4 weeks and he'll get the visa in less than 2.

Good luck!

Don't ever do anything you're not willing to explain the paramedics.
