Additional background checks or other processing. It's standard and usually means nothing but to wait.

here is your definition of AP

there is no finite timeline.. sometimes it is just the term for having your passport and stamping it with a visa.. sometimes it is much more than that

Oh you're welcome. My visa took longer than usual waiting because of holidays and storm Maring so you will be lucky to get it on time. Just keep checking to your status. And thank you btw for reading the review. You will get that too if you have your visa if you havent attended the seminar. Hehehehe. Goodluck and Godbless.
