Egypt AP list....

[doodlebug 3]

Hey guys, sorry about all my questions but I am still learning.

What is the difference between AP and AR?

And thank you so much for your help and support

honestly...i don't think a thing.

methink this is just a regular AP .. the fingerprint is taken for the two index not the thumb .

Don't know if this is good or means nothing

it's good coz at least it didn't take them 3 or 4 months to remember that they forgot to take his fingerprint .

I am glad to hear that......

Hopefully it will not be 3 or 4 months until we hear about the visa.

Does anyone think they treat the Christians different than the Muslims when considering them for a visa?

Don't know if it's coincidental or not, but I've seen a few christian men from Egypt get their visas very quickly.

When we were stuck in AR/AP hell, my senator told me that AP is Administrative Processing.....basically all the security checks and what not, and the AR is Administrative Review when they are reviewing all the infor they received. Don't know if this is right or not though.

AP Advance Parole (most common) or Administrative Processing

AR Administrative Review

they should have been two different things BUT ..

what's the different between the consul telling you ( 2 weeks OR 2 months ) .. isn't it the same thing !

using different words with different meanings ... BUT after all it's the same thing

For us it is Administrative Processing and they told him he would know in one month if he would be granted the visa.

Which one is worse? Processing or Parole?

Advance Parole sounds like something having to do with jail, doesn't it?

Advance Parole is what AP means for a lot of people on VJ, because it's something a lot of people file after their SO arrives in the states and they want to travel back to their home country without being barred from entering the states upon arrival. Like the K1 is a one-time entry visa, so if they leave they can't come back without advance parole. It's something filed during AOS. It has nothing to do with the MENA AR/AP. (Isn't that a relief? lol)

very true about the k-1 ap. we applied for that with nessa just in case because we've seen some real horror stories on vj about the beneficiary not being able to leave the country in a family emergency.

for mena ap, i think ap means "another procedure" as there seems to be so many of them ya'll have to go thru.
