When is it going to end?????

[doodlebug 3]

OK, now, let me review this cuz I know we are gonna end up in the quagmire known as the black hole.

AP=means that you passed the interview (ha, that is a good one) and that SO's name has been sent to USA for FBI check????? And that unless your SO is a psycho terrorist, etc, you will eventually be given your visa, it may just take days/months/years/centuries????

AR=means that you didn't pass the interview, BUT your visa wasn't just thrown out, but that your papers are being sent back to probably California to be put at the bottom of the pile to "wait to be reviewed"????? And now I am hearing, the visa will probably end up being canceled, cuz, poor things, they have too much work to do???? Hey, didn't we just hear that fees were increased to cover more help????

That is incorrect. If you are in AP or AR you have passed the interview. If you do not pass the interview your case will be outright denied and they will tell you as much and send the file back to USCIS in the USA.

SO then if you don't pass the interview (No, sorry, I don't know the exact date that my fiance took her first step, and sorry, I don't think she ever mentioned the exact second, minute, hour, day that she graduated from middle school, and sorry, I just can't seem to remember what she said about what exact shows she watches on television and what times they are on and what days they are on....blah blah blah....

ANYWAY, sorry I got carried away there in interview Hell

.....Back to the question. Let's just say on the distance chance that a person does not get "past" their interview, what paper do they hand him? And what does it say? AND when it goes back to USCIS, does it get "reviewed", shredded, or what???? AND, how long do you have to wait to re-apply? Thanks.....

Well it's different depending on what embassy you're going through. Best thing to do is to scan whatever paper they give you after the interview and show it to people here and they will let you know if you are either denied or in AP/AR. It's good to do this soon because if it is denied that means they send it back to the states (but they do that with AP/AR too though which is why it's important to scan and show here) and you want to get your congressman involved before it arrives here so that they can move on it fast.

Good luck!

Oh you all are so funny! I'm laughing so hard at the coffee shop seeing the big hairy rocks and the place to call where they work!

Thank you for calling USCIS, my name is Harry Rock, agent number BFHR1. In order to better assist you please answer a few questions.

Are you calling about an application or petition that has already been filed?

Did you file this application or petition more than 2 light years ago?

Have you made more than 8 attempts to get through the automated phone system and speak with a real person?

Do you feel your case is beyond our normal processing time, which varies at our discretion and is highly dependent on our mood and digestive system regularity?

Are you waiting for me to take a breath so you can get two words in edgewise?
