I'm really really frustrated right now, I don't know why all this is happening to me, my hubby had his interview last Wednesday and he got approved quickly and the interviewer didn't pay him any attention barely ask him any question too all of it was very basic questions and he told him that we'll the visa in two weeks and I used to check our status on the DOS tracker and it always said ready and we got an update on the 28th (the day after the interview) but still saying ready and today morning I checked it and find it saying that we are under AP ####### the interviewer didn't say that, he just said we are approved and gave my husband a paper saying that we'll get the visa in two weeks, I'm really frustrated and don't know what to do right now, why aren't they letting me go back home from Egypt :(

That is strange they would have told him he was under AP.We was approved but needed to provide another AOS so we get AP it's normal the co said.We called DOS and they said Ayman only needs to send the AOS paper. Maybe you should call the Cairo embassy and find out what is going on.Call DOS also.Did they keep his passport? I know the feeling and Ayman and I been going through this more than a year.It's not easy but we are almost there.Call and find out what's going on ok. GOD BLESS

Im sorry but cairo lies to many. Another ali and ahmed lived in egypt the whole time. They told them 1~2 weeks and they got it 7 months later. But also I remember some said their case was in ap but it was a quick ap and he got his visa in 12 days. So do not worry yet. Keep hope alive. Think positive. And you can come home at any time. He kust has to wait for the visa.

No one is stopping you from returning home. I would email the embassy to see what the scoop is on Monday.

I'm possitive they didn't say anything about AP even the paper they gave him doesn't say say AP say's" congratulation you're approved and you'll get your visa in two weeks", Sure I'm gonna call and ###### at them cuz this is very stupid what they did, even his case status still says "Ready" till yesterday which means wasn't under AP so ####### happened with them?

my question is why on earth they said that we were approved and didn't mention AP ? even the paper doesn't say anything about the AP and all the documents was complete they didn't request any, I'm very frustrated about them

I wanna go back with my hubby that's why I've stayed here 8 month and they said that we were approved so it's my right to get my visa like they said

*everyone* gets AP - not just MENA people. absolutely everyone applying for a visa. regardless, it's a given that in most cases for MENA it takes awhile to have visa in hand after the interview.

AP is a very blanket term for "we're working on it". It doesn't necessarily mean after they said he was approved that his file went back on the investigator's desk, though they are free to do that at any time. It may be that they are backed up on other things and will get to printing his visa when they get to it. There is absolutely nothing you can do about it. At least you are there together. Not all of us are so fortunate. With my job I don't know if I'll be able to be there for my fiance's interview, let alone wait around for it to be issued so I can fly back home with him.

I wouldn't do that if I were you. A sure fire way to get your husband's paperwork moved to the bottom of the pile. Just inquire about his case status and you keep calling every so often until they inform you the visa is printed. It's not like your anger will get them to move any faster.

My husband was told he was approved and would get his visa in two weeks, also. It took 4 months. It's not that they intentionally lie. The CO doesn't know how long name checks or other aspects of AP will last.

Sorry, but it isn't your "right." Immigration of a foreign spouse is permitted as a privilege, not a right.

Sometimes it takes longer than expected to complete processing. I know it's frustrating. Anyway, hope they complete your case soon.
