The outcome is normally once AP ends, the petition is sent on. Congressmen can only make the same inquiries you can do yourself. 

I can explain it to you. But I can't understand it for you.

So our case managed to get out of the NVC on Friday, September 29th after being stuck for 1 month and 1 week. We've managed to reach supervisor calling on Friday and complained about passed 30 days (according to what is written on NOA2 letter). Maybe that call worked, who knows, we've even heard apologies from supervisor for such a delay. 

Just leaving it here for the following couples. If you are in the same situation - wait for 30 days to pass, call NVC and ask for supervisor. Apparently this can help somehow. 

Wish everyone all the best it this process and happily ever after with the loved ones. :wub:

Me too, mine was nearly 8 weeks in AP. I think they get them through faster these days though :)

Can we call and identify if our case is under AP or just in normal process ready for embassy? 

We called quite a few times before we thought to ask the question. Give it a try!

Do you mean 30 days from your NOA2 date or 30 days form the date NVC receives the case?

We act exactly according to what was written in NOA2 letter. 

As far as I can remember we've waited 30 days from NOA2 date.

Goo luck to you and wish the soonest progress with the next steps.

I called back again today and NVC let us know that our case had been forwarded to the consulate . It was at NVC a total of 27 days so 35 days from our NOA2. I'm not even sure now if we ever were in AP, but hopefully if were it means that the wait has shortened a bit. The best suggestion I could make is to just keep calling until you talk to someone who can give you the right info, how helpful they are seems to really depend on how you talk to...its really inconsistent. Good luck to everyone, I know how hard the wait can be.
