This is his interview experience.....
Approved with 14 weeks of washington AP
Husband was at embassy at 7am in a suit and tie. So handsome! and there were 100 people in a line waiting. My daughter and I were with him but they said there is a new rule of no american petitioners allowed inside the embassy and the beneficiary has to go alone. We walked back to the SHepheard Hotel and waited 4 hours and 45 mihnutes for his return.
He went into embassy at 735am He was number 628. He waited 2 hours to be called to egyptian lady speaking arabic. His papers were in a yellow folder and a yellow sheet of paper was on top
She asked one question. How long you been married.

She then said Congratulations on your visa and she handed him a Full length white sheet of paper with nvc number and embassy website
He said Am I in AP?
She said What?
He said Am I in AP?
She said what is AP?
He said administrative processing
She said yes
He said in Washington or here at the embassy?
She said in Washington
and you can track it with this number in 14 weeks.
She kept his passport and never offered for him to take it with him.
His full white sheet of paper did not say 221G. It spoke of AR and never said AP. He was in AP 50 days and received his Visa on day 56.
I had my Congressman Adam Kinzinger involved with AP around the 6th week and 12 days later his AP was complete. I contacted someone everyday. I called DOS 1-3 times a day. We called the embassy 1-2 times a week. I emailed the embassy 1-3 times a week. DOS said still in AP even after visa was issued. Embassy AP site still says Pending even though his visa is on its way to him right NOW!
