New Delhi India AP Tracker

[thedude6752000 360]

Hi, my wife is a Muslim and I am a white guy so I am absolutely terrified of AP in Delhi. Please use this thread to post your experiences with AP if you went through the US Embassy and New Delhi and got thrown into AP there. Thank you.

Just out of curiosity are you Muslim as well? If not how did her family feel about her marrying a non-Muslim? It is against Islam for a woman to marry outside the religion, and it's very, very rare.

Thanks for demonstrating why I am so scared of this.

Have you had any recent updates? At over 1 year I would start looking into a Mandamus suit. Also when you say congress have you tried your senior Senator in your state?

I am getting regular updates...which is same "AP". I am positive that my file is up for review...Now I hope it takes another month so that my husband can get 10 years green card since our 2 years anniversary is coming up.

However; I will file for Mandamus by March....I tried calling both senators...all they do is send inquiry. They are not help at all. When I visited, CO told me that we have positive reviews and your relationship has been verified..we are working on final review. However; my husband's 2nd medical is being expired next month. I am hopeful by Jan/Feb, we will get visa.

How about you?Any update?
