7-month AP for a fifth-year Ph.D student

I came back to China to visit my parents in the summer. However, after 7 months, my visa is still under administrative processing. What should I do? How longer will I wait for this AP to be finished? Crying.. My clothes, rented apartment and boyfriend are in the US

Sadly, with AP there is no quick fix. You can only wait it out and pray for a good outcome. I am an American citizenwith 3 children, a full time job, and just fnished my masters degree. My husbands AP has been about five months already and thankfully he will get to come home soon. The admin really does not care about a particular situation. I know a mother in Mexico who has gone to AP and been denied even though her American child has been in st judes hospital awaiting a transplant for months now. I really hope everything goes well for you!

Thank you very much. I have only one year left for my Ph.D. The American Embassy says it would take 3 to 4 weeks. If I had known about this, I would have stayed until I finish my Ph.D. This AP should have an upper limit.
