I have lost count of the times that I have seen beneficiaries, single unmarried with a child being sponsored, when the fathers permission comes up seems he has not been seen, not known etc, so from that side what does it prove.

A couple of years ago a guy started a thread seeking help. He had been living in the US for a while and was petitioning his wife and four kids who were still back in his home country. Something must've made the made the CO suspicious about the timing of his wife's pregnancies while he was in the US because the CO requested DNA tests for all the kids. Turns out the two youngest was not his.

 

VJ sees cases where the time and distance has resulted in a love one spawning a child with someone outside of the relationship.

 

And I can remember a case where an immigrate left her husband and child after she obtained her permanent resident status. She admitted to the husband that the GC was all she wanted. The last update he gave the husband was left to raise the child on his own.

 

The point being is that an argument can be made for both sides.

It is funny you mention that, I remember reading something about that very recently. The woman abandoned the husband and child for the GC

She can presumably seek medical treatment in her home country, so it would be unlikely an expedite would be granted on that basis.

  To the original question.   AP is the process of validating document and verifying that you are not a member of a terrorist group.  In some countries this can be a lengthy process.  Men and woman can be in love while they hold other agendas.  Unfortunately other peoples bad behavior will slow the immigration timeline of the most legitimate couples.  It would be interesting if someone could create an AP length calculator by country so people would have a clue. 

This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this.

Pakistan is about as long as it gets, well can be.

Yes and this is because of a number of "real" factors including similar names, the difficulty in reliably verifying information, and the sheer volume of cases to deal with, among other factors.

 

I'll add that "in love" is neither a KEY factor in determining marital relationship bona fides OR fidelity.  I'm aware some believe that's the ONLY factor.  Opinions vary.  I'm talking about US Immigration criteria.  Lot's of folks cheat on people they love and lots of criminals and terrorists are in love with their spouses.  Lot's of "arranged marriages" are "bona fide".

Facts are cheap...knowing how to use them is precious...
