Yes it is possible as I stated. Many people have submitted their required docuemntation and remained on AP. You can be in both.

Thanks for your replies!

Is it possible to be on AP as well as pending additional documents? My fiance received the 221(g) when he interviewed about a month ago for additional documents (only the first paragraph was ticked of the 221(g) form). DOS also tells us that his visa is pending/processing and we don't know what to make of that. Are they waiting on his documents? Or are they waiting on his documents AND ALSO have put him on AP?

If it is possible to be on AP and pending additional documents at the same time, then when does the AP start? After the embassy receives the additional documents or right after the interview, regardless of when the additional documents are submitted?

My fiance will be sending in his pending documents soon, but I was worried about whether it is a possibility for his AP to start after he submits his document (by the way, his pending document is his passport), as we have already are experiencing a 1 month delay due to his pending doc anyway, we don't want to have to wait longer for his AP afterward...I hope someone can shed light on this matter.

Thanks!

Hi-

I guess you can say we are in AP. Add us to the list. :blink: Had the interview April 15, 2009 in Damascus, Syria. Submitted the document they needed again.

Told to come back May 10th- only to be told then that we need to wait until our number appears online at the Embassy site.

I am assuming we are in some sort of security name clearance thingy??

Jennie- Is Ammar in Damascus? (while Ghassan didn't have people throwing papers at him, he wasn't really told straigh-forward what was happening/why)

Praying for us all.

Baj

ah. the longing....

Information from the embassy regarding admin proc is vague. They tell you a 6 weeks, just to get you out the door. you call they tell you additonal processing. It could mean anything or nothing to us.

I am thankful for this forum to figure otu some trends for some sort of relief to this Madness.

Stay on your case by calling the DOS weekly. AS them to give you an update on your case. They can read a back screen to what is going on.

I think yeah its a good sign . it seems like they are ready to give you the visa . thats why they asked for your passport . cause i think if they don't need it to issue the visa they would not ask for it .

Good luck and my best wishes for you .

I'm blessed to find what i need in a world loosing hope. you are my only believe .

You make things right every time after time.....

Will you stand by me ?!!!
