@Crazy Cat yes I understand, however i know people who had the same situation as i did but did not receive a white form stating their rights in america, and i know others who received everything like me but the Visa Officer requested more additional documents. Does this my case different from the others making it take less time? 

The case is in extended administrative processing.  Nothing can be done...other than waiting it out for a decision.   The Department of State is conducting background checks....

Is the visa Officer supposed to hand back your original documents after the interview or do they only hand back if the visa is refused? 

They are not required to return anything to you.

What do you mean by they are not required to return anything back, so if they kept the documents that is a good sign?

It is neither good nor bad.  The ONLY indication of approval will be when the status changes to "Issued".

They hand you back the originals of the civil documents you submitted to them and they keep the copies and translations.

 

As @Crazy Catstated, "Issued" is what matters and nothing else does

[Ali ahmed gara 1]

@etrangais they did not ask for copies, even we had. They just had the original documents and marriage evidence, and they handed it back to us. 

[etrangais 947]

did they keep the passport?

[Ali ahmed gara 1]

@etrangais no they handed it back as well.

in that case, get ready for a lengthy AP.

There is nothing you can do about it. So just be patient and wait

Every case is different, so even if you see some applicants clear AP fast, or slow, don't expect the same length. Every case is different

@etrangais the same thing happened to a person i know who had the exact same situation as i did. And he only stood 3 weeks.

Good luck.

Again, each and every case is different.

We recd our originals after the interview

as for copies,  USCIS has all those / copies u sent or scanned and all are kept and logged into computer

 

AP can be long

if spouse was given the "rights and responsibilities " welcome to US phamlet,  the CO intent is to approve but extra security checks are required

as crazy cat says "only the post that says "issued or denied "   is important

 

if spouse now uses the passport to do additional international travel of any kind ,  it will extend the AP time to check that travel also

 

if the AP goes past 6 months from his medical,  the embassy will send a request to do a new medical exam 

 

As i said before your fiancee's name triggered  DOS and it could have been because it was the same as another being from a country that overuses the name

@JeanneAdil thank you so much, that gave me hope. Because we were confident that our case will be approved because we know everything we have uploaded and sent to the USCIS AND NVC are correct and not fraud and based on facts. Yes, we did receive the US phamlet, and the CO just told us that everything on their end is good just to wait for the DOS in Washington dc. So im hoping for a less timeframe to wait. God bless you.

My case status still says Refused but the date has changed. Is there any luck that maybe they might ask for my passport so they could stamp the visa before changing the Case status to Administrative Processing then to issued?
