@KnomeI promise you won’t keep bothering you 😂.. but one more doubt. Did they take all 3yrs tax returns or just recent one ? 

Hahah...not even...m being here today to actually distract my mind as my fiance jus left and m feeling lil sad n lonely...so ur actually helping me out

My fiance gave them all three years...bt they returned some...so i guess thy actually kept recent ones only...bt be on safer side n take all three years if u hav

I didn't notice any such.. first I clicked on check visa status under non-immigrant and 2nd time clicked the immigrant section.. both visa status showed the same message. 

but no mention of immigrant/non with the Administrative processing msg

@Knome, are we allowed to take cell phone / handbag 👜 inside the embassy ? Or will it be wise to leave it at hotel?

I thought tht too that thy wnt b letting her to come wit me bt anyhow she decided to come wit me ...thy dint objected that she stood right next to me at both the counters ( doc sumission n interview counter )

She (CO) asked her ...first wen did she got divorced...she told tht

Then CO asked wen thy got seperated...prior to actual divorce

Then she asked what happened wit first marriage

Where she met her ex spouse?

Why she dint chose american woman?

If she hav full custody of her daughter

@Srinath06,don’t worry abt that as from what I hve read & from a recent post by @Greenbaum, after approval case moves from immigrant to non immigrant status before visa is issued. So that process shows as Administrative processing when we check. Once issued it changes. 

MY VISA status changed to ISSUED today , but my daughter s visa status is still under AP   ... I hope it changes too soon ... __/\__
