He is Muslim,and have a common Muslim. name. I read that a

I am sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, its difficult to predict when AP will be resolved. It could range from 3 months to over a year. There are some people on here placed in AP since March of this year, and i dont believe they are out yet.

They normally say to wait at least 60 days to check on the status of AP, so i will advise that you contact your Senator or congressman's office office to check with DOS and the embassy on your behalf.

Good luck.
