You have no way of verifying if the AP was real or not. AP is not just about missing documents. Pending background check clearance also results in AP. Yes, additional checks gets conducted at the end of the interview (with the captured biometrics during the interview). It wouldn’t be unusual for some cases to get stuck in AP because of this.Msil
I know one case, they had the interview in April and there visa was issued only these days.
It was not a real AP, they did not have to provide any additional documents, they had a successful interview but still took forever to get their stamped passports.
And a person is considered to have had a successful interview only after they receive their passport back with the visa stamp.
