AP not in home country

[Taylor&Joey 0]

Hello all, have another question for you. My fiancé is in administrative processing at the Naples consulate in Italy (where he has lived and worked for 12 years) but he is originally from Egypt. I suspect he is in AP because he is from Egypt. Anyone know if the amount if time to process will be longer or shorter because it is in Italy and not Egypt? He is Christian, so his name is not common, and the lady in his interview said 2 days to 2 weeks to process. (It's been 3 weeks). Do they actually mean what they say when they give you an estimate like that? Okay maybe this is a few questions.

Whether you will have to go to through AP - and how long it will be if you do - is influenced by several factors, such as country of citizenship, country of birth, countries you have lived in, and your name.

Any estimates anyone gives you regarding how long AP will be are exactly that, estimates. They do not know for sure, and so whatever they tell you is only a guess. That being said, most AP is resolved within 60 days; a minority of applications can go on for a few months more, and, rarely, it can take over a year.

The estimations that are given after the interview are just guesses. We were told that it would be two weeks or a month and we were in AP for 8 months. Take any estimates of AP with a big grain of salt.

No one can tell you if it will be longer/shorter because he is in Italy and not in Egypt. The DOS constantly told us that AP is different for each case. However, because he is Christian and does not have a common name, I don't think you will be in AP for very long.

Good luck!
