What about petetioners that have had a file since 1994? I've noticed my fathers file is going extremely quick compared to many others. He recieved an interview in weeks, had an interview only 2 months away from the papers indication (interview is coming in 2-4 weeks, can't remember exactly). The AR/AP hopefully shouldn't be a problem for a man who has lived in the U.S. since early/mid-1980s, has payed taxes since the day of arrival, has 3 USC children, a USC wife, and been married for almost 20 years. What do you guys think? problem/no problem?

here is the deal canuhandleit. There is NO CRITERIA for initiating Ar/AP. Look at me, I lived in the US for 8 years, paid my taxes, No criminal record, signed up for selective services and lol, I am going through a longer AR/AP. Lol!

I guess the more u live in the US the more traces you leave for them to track haha! Actually I have come to a conclusion that AR/AP all depends on how common your name is! I have been told that there are seven people with the same name in their system with my name!

One more thing AR depends on is age! How old is your father. I am not sure but if he is older than a certain age, he wont have to go through AR

He's like one or two years above 40. Is there a list of common names? Honestly, i've never heard of any other person with my dad's name because it's such a weird name, but then again who knows! This would be like his 3rd interview since he's had 2 AOS' in the U.S. but was denied each time because I-212 requires you to leave the U.S. before it starts processing, which he needed. From what I know, both times he took his fingerprints he didn't have ANY hits, but then that was the U.S. and this is a consulate so I dunno what will happen. I'm praying for some reform and quick AR/AP.

Well good thing is that he has a uncommon name! Thats definitely good! Bad thing is if he a couple years above 40, he will definitely have to go through AP! Dont worry, you should be ok! If u have any questions, feel free to drop me a PM.

Also when is his interview?

er my parents forbid me to share that with anyone, they haven't even told their own parents... their suspicious I suppose so I just can't share it. It's within a few weeks. Eh, its also a family based though?

Good luck on your family based petiton. I know most men are getting AR/AP and have heard of even a few older ones. Just take and mentally say I might have to endure this and it helps. If you do not then you are most fortunate. And rely on your faith and ask for patience and understanding. I also need to say welcome to the Islamabad forums.

Well :-( lol

does a high priority applicant adjuster change the AP/AR review a little maybe?

My dad's friend is aroudn his same age over there, he also left voluntarily like my dad from the exact same city and exact same church actually and had a family based petition. My dad said that his friend said that he had no problems relating to security and recieved his packet (the one they give you and tell you to not open before a officer does when you arrive POE) within a few days in the mail.

no 2 cases are alike. your father is in his 40s. the odds of AR/AP are likely

read the AP/AR i have sent you.

[canuhandleit 0]

WOAH its long... haha i'll have to read it one day. Why is a 40 year old man more likely to have AR/AP than a younger person, say in their early/mid-20s and early 30s, which would be like the most targetted age by terrorist organizations. Just wondering. Hopefully he won't need AR/AP. Another question, would it be a good idea to get a letter from the community he lives in over there and from our community for all the good services he's done possibly, would that help? haha just wondering. I'll find out soon enough :-)

wrong... age 16-79 read the pages..as far as good citizen letters..

they work thats why we contact the congressman and sentator 1001 times. good luck!

LOL even at the age of 79 people are getting AR/AP? lmao, what's wrong with our country. I don't think they understand that 99.9% of the people in the T26 nations are NOT terrorist.

as it stands now on May 2006 . Pakistan is one of the T-26 country. why its on the list is

beyond me. while most of us agree pakistan is not a terrorist country- Condalizza Rice

disagree. The CO at ISL embassy was given instructions to perform what is called

at CONDOR check on all Petitions with Name hits. That includes anyone with common names.

The COs hands are tied. wanna know why????? because, even if the CO was and decided

hey like canuhandleit - he interview well the direction did not come from his bosses it came higher

up! when you got at POE - they would turn you right around.

as for expediting the security check only ATTNy General and Sec of def. and of course

the president can expedite the security check process. but, then they made the damm rule

anyways.

I supposed the only way to get thougth this AR/AP hell is not to get all pissed off about it.

but, just deal with it. talk to your family members and plan 1001 times your precious

family reunion. that is the only thing that is keeping me sane.

I am a victim of AR/AP hell- 8 months and 21 days.
