Can someone be in AP that long if there only in name checks? or do people usualy last that long beacause there cas was sent bacj to uscis?

I dont really know for sure but it was common in 2007 and 2008 to have a long AP just doing security checks I did have a article that explained each check I will try and find it anyway the story goes is that the CO can order security checks and when it comes back if he like he can order another one and so on in stead of sending it out to all checks at once they do one step at a time Also keep in mind that the FBI does alot more than just immigration checks. I think the average is 7-10 months. I hope you hear something soon. For some reason I think next week might bring some good news for someone. LOL not sure who

I can't believe some has had to wait so long! My heart goes out to you guys and I am fearing how long we will have to wait. :( You guys we have to come up with a way to get someone involved. It says on the website to wait 60 days before making inquiry. We need to get someone in higher political power involved.

What are your thoughts?

In the defense of karinapogue the initial words AP puts a lump in your throat and makes your heart fall to your feet to me the first day of AP was probably the worst and then for the first 3 months I thought he would get the visa any day after the first 3 months I realized I was in for the long haul. But truthfully the beginning of AP was the worst I searched and searched for anything that might speed it up and to try and understand the procedure only to figure out there is no rhyme or reason for what the CO does and there is nothing that can be done only wait it out in time we will all get the visa

Right.

When they kept my passport and told me they had to do an "internal check" I was shocked. I searched HOURS AFTER HOURS here, Yes I got only 3 days, but it could easily be 3 months, or more... My case was complicated, but... thank God.. I got my visa.

I was so happy when I got my visa after a week, I felt a 100 tons stone removed from my back. I don´t know how my life would be now if I were still in AP, but I understand u perfectly how u feel, and I know there is nothing I can say to make u feel better, but maybe AP is sometimes better than a denial. That, for me... is the worst.

At least u know there is someone... very far away from u... who loves u and wishes to be with u with all his / her heart. At least u have someone to love. (L) (L) (L) (L)

The wait is what sucks. We have been on AP for 3 months and 2 days, and havent heard anything. When i got in touch with the Embassy, all they could tell me is they have been back logged. SEriously? I mean how much longer do we have to wait. I don't know why they are putting all of us through so much torture. I mean what if something happens to you or your significant other, there is no way to speed the process for you guys to be together. Honestly sucks. I am sorry I am just really depressed without him. It has been 10 months since our engagement and I am just getting more and more depressed. And Saudi is a country i cant visit alone.
