Does anyone know if the CO looks at your priority date at the time of your interview?

I'm asking because my husband had his interview on September 26 and was put into AP.

Our service center was California and our priority date (December 14, 2018) just now became current. 

I'm just brain storming since we weren't given a reason for being put into AP and no other documents have been requested

 No the Co doesn’t look at ur priority date n spousal visas don’t become current , they always available so ur priority date doesn’t matter here

when was the interview because everyone goes through AP after the interview 

I was in AP for 8working days before I was finally issued at the Ghana 🇬🇭 embassy n it took exactly a month for me to get my passport bck after my interview

Then there’s something they not convinced about so they have to do more checks on their side and if they satisfied ur hubby will be called or emailed with further instructions

It's that part that I don't understand, them not being convinced .. I front loaded and side loaded my case .. We had flight information from all 3 trips, affidavits from 2 people from his side and 2 people from my side, chats and pictures and a breakdown of our timeline .. I just don't get it .. Thanks

It’s very difficult to tell what a Co is looking for or thinking at a particular time

-has any of u been married b4 ?

... hopefully u won’t be in AP for long 

sometimes it might not be the evidences but smthn else

we pray this won’t take long n he’s called to drop off his passport after their checks

If you are a USC, which I assume you are- then priority dates dont apply. If you were an LPR filing for your spouse then the priority date would matter. For those cases NVC wont even send you instructions until the date is current.
