I NEED SOME HELP UNDERSTANDING A PROCESS HERE. WE HAD A SECOND INTERVIEW AT THE EMBASSY FOR A NEW SPONSOR AND WHEN WE SUBMITTED ALL THE DOCUMENTS WE WERE TOLD THEY LOOK GOOD BUT HAD TO BE SENT TO WASHINGTON FOR VERIFICATION. WE ARE WONDERING IF THIS IS NORMAL PROCEDURE FOR A NEW SPONSOR THAT DIDN'T GO THROUGH NVC??? WE ARE TOLD 2 WEEKS TO 2 MONTHS FOR THE VERIFICATION. ANY ONE HAVE AN IDEA THE TIME LINE MORE ACCURATELY. EVERYTHING WE WERE ASKED TO SUBMIT FOR THE NEW SPONSOR WAS SUBMITTED AND THEY ARE WAY OVER QUALIFIED IN THE INCOME DEPT. FOR POVERTY GUIDELINE. ALSO THE SPONSOR IS A LAWFUL PERMANENT RESIDENT. NOTARIZED LETTER FROM EMPLOYER, 2009,2010,2011 TRANSCRIPTS, COPY OF GREEN CARD(FRONT AND BACK), AND NOTARIZED COPY OF AOS) ALL SUBMITTED.

THANKS FOR ANY LIGHT U CAN SHED ON THIS FOR US. I WAS EXPECTING TO GO AND PROVIDE WHAT WAS NEEDED AND BE APPROVED.

Plz next time try to write in lower case. You can't check your AP status online, but you can call the state department:202-663-1225

For the most part AP is a requirement for mena countries so no surprises here.

1. AP could take from several weeks to months, and several cases where it was over a year.

2. There is always a chance the visa could get denied, in some cases it happened after it was issues.

3. The passport is not taken, as there is no time frame how long the AP may take.

4. Looking at the evidence it at the sole discretion of the CO.
