I just found out today that my case is in AP at NVC as of December 22nd. I am a little unfamiliar with this. I know it means administrative processing. The customer service representative could not give me a timeframe for how long this will take. Does anyone have any ideas? I am a little nervous here, I was getting packet 3 all ready thinking I should receive it any day now, only to find out my case is in AP. I thought I read somewhere (on some other website) that they could be in AP at the NVC for up to 6 months?? I hope that's not true!

There's not a specific amount of time of how long AP may take. It may take a couple of weeks or it may take up to 12 months or more. AP essentially is a name check program where they will run security checks for every applicant if any red flags popped up. It is a manual process so that's why sometimes it may take them a while to complete it.

I called the NVC on December 30th and they told me that they have just received my petition that day. They also stated that my case was in AP and said the same thing you mentioned (they don't know how long it will be). So I gave it a week so I won't go crazy and tried not to think about it. I called today and they stated that it was sent to the embassy on Jan 4th! So it only took four days excluding the holiday. Hopefully, yours will come soon!

They can tell when you are about to get out of AP... if you call, ask them "when should I call back.. what day?" if they say a wek or two... you will be in AP for a while longer.. if they say call back on Friday.. good news you are likely on your way to the consulate soon...

Thanks everyone for your input- I called yesterday and they said they will be sending it to the consulate "this week". Hopefully when I call on Monday it will be a done deal!
