We're stuck there as well. They received our case 19th September. Sent out 2 letters, on the 24th and 26th November stating it would be forwarded in a week. Told after speaking with a supervisor

It could be a random investigation, an investigation based on an initial red flag found @ USCIS or a false AP....the false AP is when the operator looks and sees the file still there and equates that with AP.. in some cases the file is in AP only a couple of days.. not enough time for the Gov. to do any kind of check.. so not a real AP...

Hope for a false AP

no telling exactly why... well unless one uses the freedom of information act to do an inquiry that takes a long time and most dont care once it is over... some have thought maybe having a govt security clearance triggered it, but other have clearances similar to mine and dint get AP, many have RFE's and dont get AP... for one reason or another, the file got flagged along te way and they had the team of FBI folks do what they do... mid last year they got on the ball and shortened the time in AP.. lets hope it is still a month or so... or less!!! :thumbs:

I just called the NVC today and was told my case is in additional processing. Now I'm really bummed, as I was expecting to see my sweetheart next month. Looks like the wait for AP is anywhere from a couple weeks to a couple months. And the worst part is that there seems to be no real way to find out how long it's going to take, so I'm just left waiting. *sigh*

There is no way to know how long... just estimates... and there is no known way to push it along... I hope it does not take as long as it took us... :thumbs:
