We finally had an interview on November 7th, 2013. At the time of interview the CO told my husband was approved and it would be 1-2 weeks before he would get a phone call to come pick up the passport and envelope. We are coming up on week 3 and the CEAC web site has updated twice with Administrative Processing. I know there are items that must be done, aplus there's been both Morocco and US holidays which slows things down. Just curious if anyone else over the past few weeks is experienceing the same issue? Had another friend tell me they had the same thing happen and it took 1 year and 6 months before they mailed the passport back and the package to their home.

I am abosultely thrilled after 2 years the interview went well and the CO said yes. Just trying to do what this has taught me.......patience!

AP usually takes a few weeks, can sometimes take months, and, rarely, over a year.

Thank you for the information! Patience will have to be continued as assumed. Just would be nice if for the Holidays my husband was here. We have missed previous ones and the whole family is also praying this doesn't turn into another many months to year wait. Would be nice to celebrate the beginning of our life in one place at this time of year.

For all those waiting, prayers are out there that you dont have the long wait as we have or others.

Happy Thanksgiving!
