Okay. I had interview this morning. Everything went good. They kept my fiance' visa. The lady lady was nice, but gave us a paper stayting that we are in mandatory AP. I would think its an approval.

Not yet. After AP, they will determine if you're approved or not.

I agree, sadly you can't know for sure if you were approved or not until they get back to you.

Hopefully you get an approval soon, wishing you the best.

Then if that's the case, they should given me a 221g.

Did they keep your passport? I'm not sure what a "Mandatory AP" (or why it's mandatory) is but if you didn't receive a 221g, maybe and hopefully that's good news for you!

You know you are approved when they grant your visa. Keeping or returning passport is not a sign for approval/denial.

When do you finally get to relax in this process? After POE? Or not even then.

Okay i understand that. So what sign is a 221g?.

Generally one can be relaxed after POE. I even heard, someone was denied entry at POE with their immigration package ( IR-5 ).

For my case, I would be more relaxed when I become USC.

221g means: They still have questions for your case, and needs more docs to review before making the final decision ( approval/denial ).

I received a same white sheet few months back, which states that your case is under Mandatory AP (Administrative Processing). AP means 221G only.

Some cases takes 4 weeks and some 4-6 months in India (depends case by case).

[Dreams24 3]

If your case is Genuine, you will definitely receive your passport with VISA Stamp but i can't commit the timeline... infact no one can in 221G

God bless and i wish your case is approved not UNDER AP.... You can also call DOS and confirm your case status...

I always heard if they keep your passport your in. But what do I really know? I am holding my breath everyday. Good Luck and the best to you both.
