Over five and half months, still in AP!

[Hasikanna 0]

It is over five and half months and I am still in AP. I called DOS twice, they said it was under process. My wife e-mailed the embassy couple of times and the answers were pretty much same. Don't know what to do. Can you share if there is anyone got stuck in AP for that long? Thanks.

your best option at this point to contact your congressman

AP can take years. The US Embassy will not grant the visa until the background check is done to their satisfaction.

Good suggestion from "love my baby", Ask your wife to reach out to her local senator, congressman and met then launch an inquiry. Keep in mind nothing will be done unless the AP is over with the required due process, however the inquiry may either expedite this process or give it a little push. Please know I said MAY. In context of Bangladesh the average AP time is 4-5 months; however I've seen people coming out after 3 and some are stuck for more than 6 months. And that's just a small number who are member of this site.

So no reason for you to get dejected or give up on your hopes. As you are over the general waiting time range, this could mean it can happen in any given day :-). Just tell the petitioner to get the senators/congressman engaged. At least you are doing all you can do from your end.

Just few more days and hope you will hear something positive. Best of luck for you two. After waiting for all these time, losing the patient isn't worth it. Hang tight........

In AP for 4.5 months and still counting days, hours, min, seconds.....It can be extremely frustrating but be strong. InshaAllah we will all come out of it. You are not the only one.
